Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions have released the second official trailer for “Speak No Evil,” a psychological thriller directed by James Watkins. Set in a picturesque English countryside, the film explores the intricacies of human psychology and interpersonal dynamics.
Speak No Evil
The plot centers on two families who, after a chance holiday encounter, come together for what seems like a perfect weekend. Mackenzie Davis and Scoot McNairy star as the American family, joined by Alix West Lefler, James McAvoy, Aisling Franciosi, and Dan Hough as the British hosts.
The idyllic retreat soon turns unsettling when the charismatic yet mysterious host, Paddy (James McAvoy), begins to exert an eerie influence over the guests. As tensions rise and the facade of friendliness fades, the once-peaceful estate becomes a site of psychological manipulation and hidden truths.
Adapted from the acclaimed 2022 Danish horror “Gæsterne” by Christian Tafdrup and Mads Tafdrup, “Speak No Evil” is set to deliver the same suspenseful and eerie atmosphere as its predecessor. With James Watkins at the helm, known for his atmospheric thrillers, the film is expected to keep viewers on edge.
“Speak No Evil” hits theaters on September 13, 2024, offering a chilling glimpse into a world where courtesy hides darker intentions.
