Speak No Evil, one of 2024’s tensest thriller movies, has been made available to watch at home via NOW and Sky Cinema.
The film centres around a married American couple (Mackenzie Davis and Scoot McNairy) who, while vacationing with their young daughter in Italy, befriend a charming British couple (Aisling Franciosi and James McAvoy) with a young son.
Some time after the Italian holiday, the Americans are invited by their vacation friends to spend a weekend at the latter’s remote farm in the West Country.
What should be a relaxing country stay soon warps into a psychological nightmare, as the British couple reveal themselves as being quite different to how they first appeared.
A remake of a very shocking 2022 Danish flick of the same name, the 2024 version of Speak No Evil sands a lot of the rough edges off of the original, as is often the case with English-language remakes of foreign movies.
In this particular instance, however, the changes are welcome, resulting in a more conventionally entertaining thriller that feels like its own distinct entity.
It helps, too, that the central premise is so strong and that the cast members in the remake are all excellent.
Speak No Evil 2024 has just been made available to watch through NOW and Sky Cinema. The Danish original is also currently streaming on Shudder.
