Speak No Evil Review
‘Speak No Evil’ re-invents the danish manners horror as a more straightforward thriller. James McAvoy, Scoot McNairy, Mackenzie Davis and Aisling Franciosi star in the story of vacation friends whose encounter back home turns very dark.
Opening in theaters on September 13th, ‘Speak No Evil’ takes on the basic concept of a 2022 Danish chiller that has a shocking, politically charged and pitch-black ending and re-imagines it for American audiences in a way that still works. Though some might argue that the harder edges of the original –– which (spoiler alert if you haven’t seen it) ends with the murder of a child and a couple stoned to death that carries heavy echoes of the Holocaust –– have been whittled down here, there are still plenty of shocks and surprises to keep you guessing.
