James McAvoy (Split) dives back into the horror genre with Speak No Evil, Blumhouse’s English language remake of the critically acclaimed 2022 Danish film Gæsterne. The two-minute trailer shows a married couple immediately regretting their decision to visit old friends while on vacation.
The cast includes Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate) and SAG award-winner Scoot McNairy (Argo) as Louise and Ben Dalton, the couple who chose the wrong place to spend their vacation. Alix West Lefler (The Good Nurse) plays their 11-year-old daughter, Agnes. Aisling Franciosi (Game of Thrones) stars as Paddy’s (McAvoy) wife, Ciara, and newcomer Dan Hough plays their mute son, Ant.
“When an American family is invited to spend the weekend at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended on vacation, what begins as a dream holiday soon warps into a snarled psychological nightmare,” reads Blumhouse’s synopsis.
James Watkins (Eden Lake, The Woman in Black) wrote and directed the psychological thriller, based on Christian Tafdrup and Mads Tafdrup’s Gæsterne. The original Danish film earned 11 Danish Film Awards, the Danish version of the Oscars.
Jason Blum and Paul Ritchie serve as producers. Beatriz Sequeira, Jacob Jarek, and Christian Tafdrup executive produce.
Speak No Evil opens in theaters on September 13, 2024.
