In Speak No Evil (2024), directed by James Watkins, Ben (James McAvoy) and Louise (Mackenzie Davis) are drawn into a seemingly innocent friendship with a British couple during a family vacation. Invited to their remote country home, the atmosphere soon turns ominous as disturbing secrets emerge. Their hosts’ behavior becomes increasingly unsettling, pushing Ben and Louise into a tense psychological and physical struggle to protect their children and escape. With suspense escalating through eerie power dynamics and a claustrophobic setting, the film delivers a harrowing critique of social decorum and the limits of trust, building on the 2022 Danish original with fresh twists and a gripping ending that tests the family’s resilience.
