SPEAK NO EVIL | Trailer #2 & Poster

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.

From Blumhouse, the producer of The Black Phone, Get Out and The Invisible Man, comes an intense suspense thriller for our modern age, starring BAFTA award-winner James McAvoy (Split, Glass) in a riveting performance as the charismatic, alpha-male estate owner whose untrammeled hospitality masks an unspeakable darkness.

Speak No Evil stars Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate, Halt and Catch Fire) and SAG award-winner Scoot McNairy (Argo, A Quiet Place Part II) as American couple Louise and Ben Dalton, who, along with their 11-year-old daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler; The Good Nurse, Riverdale), accept the weekend-holiday invitation of Paddy (McAvoy), his wife Ciara (Aisling Franciosi; Game of Thrones, The Fall) and their furtive, mute son Ant (newcomer Dan Hough).

Written for the screen and directed by James Watkins, the writer-director of Eden Lake and the award-winning gothic ghost story The Woman in Black, Speak No Evil is based on the screenplay of the 2022 Danish horror sensation Gæsterne, written by Christian Tafdrup and Mads Tafdrup. That film earned 11 Danish Film Awards nominations, the Danish equivalent of the Oscars.

Speak No Evil is produced by Jason Blum (Five Nights at Freddy’s, M3GAN) for Blumhouse and by Paul Ritchie (McMafia, The Ipcress File) and is executive produced by Beatriz Sequeira for Blumhouse, Jacob Jarek and Christian Tafdrup.

SPEAK NO EVIL – in theaters September 13th, 2024.

SPEAK NO EVIL (2024)

Starring James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, Scoot McNairy, Aisling Franciosi, Alix West Lefler, Dan Hough, Kris Hitchen and Motaz Malhees.

Screenplay by James Watkins.

Directed by James Watkins.

Distributed by Universal Pictures. 110 minutes. Rated R.

American remakes of foreign horror films almost never quite work. This one is better than many, but it still feels the need to change the very dark and downbeat ending of the original Danish film (called Gæsterne [The Guests], but eventually renamed Speak No Evil in its international release) into a pretty cookie-cutter, overly violent and much more clichéd Hollywood denouement.

Which is really kind of a shame, because the first 2/3rds of the movie, which was much more faithful to the Danish film, was actually pretty terrific. Particularly good was James McAvoy as the charming alpha male predator who traps a hapless, squabbling American couple in a gilded cage. (The couple is played by Mackenzie Davis and Scoot McNairy, reunited several years after their fantastic old TV series Halt and Catch Fire.)

That American couple is Ben and Louise Dalton. They have uprooted their lives, moving to London for Ben’s dream job, which disappeared quickly. Although Louise is miserable having given up her career, and their 12-year-old daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler) appears homesick for the US, they have decided to stay in London while Ben regroups. This caused friction in their marriage – and Louise’s near affair didn’t help things.

Trying to heal the rifts – or at least to forget their problems – the family takes a vacation in the scenic Italian wine country. There they meet Paddy (McAvoy) and Ciara (Aisling Franciosi) and their boy with speech disabilities Ant (Dan Hough), a fun and charming, but slightly strange family, from deep in the British countryside of Devon. They befriend the couple during their trip and Paddy invites them to spend a weekend at their house so they can see another part of England.

The Daltons have no intention of taking them up on it, but when they return to their broken lives in London and receive a note from Paddy and Ciara reiterating the invitation, they decide they need some more distraction, and it may be an adventure.

Little do they realize.

Paddy and Ciara’s farmhouse is literally in the middle of nowhere. Quickly upon arriving, they are reminded of their new friends’ strangeness, particularly Paddy, who is oddly combative in conversation, seems to have an anger problem, and constantly is dropping very backhanded compliments.

As the stay becomes more and more disturbing, the Daltons discuss leaving, but Paddy and Ciara keep seeming to block their plans.

The audience figures out basically what is happening well before the hapless Daltons, but eventually the American family realizes that if they ever want to leave this nightmare behind, they will have to fight their way out.

And this is where Speak No Evil sort of loses the plot and becomes much less interesting than it had been previously. However, despite the kind of cookie-cutter final act, Speak No Evil has enough interesting twists and scares to make it worth the watch.

Det føles lidt åndssvagt, at jeg har brug for en fridag efter jeg lige har haft weekend

Men weekenden var overhovedet ikke fyldt med afslapning, og søndag var meget lang og langsomt drænende. God! Men den tog altså en hel masse energi, jeg tilsyneladende bare ikke havde. Jeg kunne mærke det allerede i går aftes, da gæsterne var gået, at jeg... trængte til, at det ikke var mandag i dag. Men, alas, det er det. Og jeg har brugt heeele dagen på en konference, hvor jeg skulle være social også, og mit hoved blev proppet med viden, og nu sidder jeg og er nervøs over, at min virksomhedspraktik for alvor starter i morgen, så jeg har overhovedet heller ikke ladt op her til eftermiddag. Gad vide om andre voksne også har det sådan. Hvad er det nu, hun siger? Hver dag starter det forfra?

Og det er jo ikke fordi, jeg har haft underskud af planløse dage de seneste seks måneder, sååå... ja. Skeer.

Hvordan Bringes Middelalderne Til Live Med Et Middelaldertema Party?

At arrangere en middelaldertema fest kan være en fantastisk måde at bringe en historisk og fantasifuld æra til live. Fra ridderne og slottene til magi og mysterier, kan et middelaldertema give gæsterne en uforglemmelig oplevelse. I denne artikel vil vi udforske, hvordan du kan skabe den perfekte middelalderfest, og hvordan du kan bruge unikke elementer som maskot kostume udlejning, buzzer knap, og lykkehjul skriv selv for at gøre dit event endnu mere magisk og engagerende.

Hvad Er Et Middelaldertema Party?

Et middelaldertema party er en fest, der er baseret på den middelalderlige tidsperiode, typisk fra det 5. til det 15. århundrede. Temaet kan omfatte alt fra ridderturneringer, kongelige banketter, og middelalderlige spil til festklædning, underholdning og dekorationer. At skabe et autentisk middelaldertema kræver opmærksomhed på detaljerne – fra kostumerne til aktiviteterne, så gæsterne virkelig kan føle, at de er en del af denne fantastiske æra.

Vælg Den Rette Location Til Dit Middelaldertema Party

For at bringe middelalderen til live, er det vigtigt at vælge den rette location. Hvis du har muligheden for at afholde festen på en historisk bygning, en borg eller en anden autentisk middelalderlig setting, så er det et stort plus. Hvis det ikke er muligt, kan du stadig skabe en middelalderstemning ved at bruge kreativ dekoration og belysning.

Dekorer Dit Event Med Middelalderlige Rekvisitter

Middelaldertema dekorationer spiller en stor rolle i at skabe den rette atmosfære. Brug elementer som gamle trægulve, bånd og bannere, fakler, rustning og skjolde. For at få et endnu mere autentisk udtryk kan du dekorere med falske vægmalerier, som f.eks. slagmarksscener eller slotsbilleder, der giver følelsen af at være i et slot. Tilføj halmballer, stenbroer og fyrtårn-belysning for at forstærke den ægte middelalderstemning.

Maskot Kostume Udlejning: Tilføj Et Element Af Sjov

Ingen middelaldertema fest er komplet uden et par store, imponerende maskot kostumer. Du kan leje forskellige maskotkostumer, der passer til temaet, som ridderkostumer, dragemaskotter eller endda middelalderlige figurer som konger og dronninger. Maskot kostume udlejning giver dig muligheden for at vælge fra et bredt udvalg af figurer, som kan tilføje sjov og interaktion til dit event. Børnene vil elske at tage billeder med de fantasifulde masker, og voksne vil også nyde at deltage i rollespil og eventyr.

Skab Interaktiv Underholdning Med Buzzer Knap

For at holde energien oppe og engagere dine gæster, kan du overveje at bruge en buzzer knap. Forestil dig et quiz-spil med middelalderlige spørgsmål om historie, ridderturneringer og slotte. Gæsterne kan konkurrere mod hinanden ved at trykke på buzzer knappen for at svare hurtigt. Det er både sjovt og interaktivt, og vil få folk til at føle sig som om de deltager i en spændende konkurrence.

Middelalderlige Spil og Aktiviteter

Underholdningen til et middelaldertema party kan spænde fra middelalderlige spil som kasteøvelser, bueskydning (med sikkerhedsbuer og pile) og en falsk ridderturnering. Du kan arrangere en venskabelig turnering, hvor gæsterne konkurrerer i at lave kunstige sværdkampe eller styrkeprøver. En sjov idé kunne også være at leje et spøgelseshus for at tilføje et ekstra element af mystik og eventyr.

Lykkehjul Skriv Selv – Tilpassede Præmier Og Gaver

Et andet fantastisk element til dit middelaldertema party er et lykkehjul skriv selv. Dette er et hjul, hvor gæsterne kan dreje for at vinde præmier som rustninger, små middelalderreplikater, eller måske en "belønning" som at blive kronet til en ridder for dagen. Lykkehjul skriv selv kan tilpasses til dit event og tilføje et ekstra lag af sjov og engagement.

Middelalderlige Kostumer – Gør Dine Gæster Til Riddere og Dronninger

Kostumerne er en vigtig del af enhver middelaldertema fest. Sørg for, at alle dine gæster føler sig som en del af historien ved at opfordre dem til at klæde sig ud som riddere, dronninger, hovmestre eller tjenestefolk. Hvis dine gæster ikke har tid eller lyst til at lave deres egne kostumer, kan du altid vælge at leje kostumer via maskot kostume udlejning. Dette giver dem mulighed for at få et autentisk look uden besværet med at skabe deres eget kostume.

Middelalderlig Mad og Drikke

Ingen middelaldertema fest er komplet uden en storslået festmiddag! Forbered mad, der ville have været populært i middelalderen, som stegt kød, gryderetter, osteborde og hjul med brød og mjød. Du kan også skabe en "kongelig banket" med store fade og rustikke træborde for at få den ægte middelalderfølelse. Hvis du ønsker at inkludere drikkevarer, kan du tilbyde gæsterne magi-inspirerede drikkevarer som "eldgamle eliksirer" eller simpelthen servere vin og mjød som i de gamle dage.

Musik og Dans

Middelaldermusik kan virkelig få stemningen til at stige. Overvej at hyre et band eller en musiker, der spiller middelalderinstrumenter som lurer, harper og trommer. Du kan også arrangere en traditionel middelalderdans, hvor gæsterne kan lære de gamle danse og deltage i en festlig, tidløs aktivitet.

Konklusion

At bringe middelalderen til live med et middelaldertema party kræver omhyggelig planlægning og opmærksomhed på detaljer, men det kan være en uforglemmelig oplevelse. Fra maskot kostume udlejning, buzzer knap, og lykkehjul skriv selv til spændende middelalderlige aktiviteter, vil dine gæster blive fuldstændig opslugt i den magiske verden af ridderne, dragerne og slottene. Med den rette atmosfære, mad, og underholdning kan du skabe et event, der vil blive husket i mange år fremover.

SPEAK NO EVIL – Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Universal Pictures

SYNOPSIS: During a vacation in Italy, the Dalton Family encounters Paddy, Ciara, and their son Ant. Their paths intertwine, leading to an invitation from Paddy for the Daltons to visit his rustic countryside British estate. A postcard serves as a reminder of the invitation, prompting the Americans to embrace the opportunity to leave their troubles behind for a holiday in the tranquil British countryside. However, what initially appears to be an idyllic escape for the Daltons quickly transforms into a psychological nightmare as they find themselves fighting for their very survival.

REVIEW: James Watkins's film SPEAK NO EVIL is an adaptation of the 2022 Danish horror sensation Gæsterne, written by Christian Tafdrup and Mads Tafdrup. The original Danish film is a thought-provoking morality tale that explores various themes such as nationality, class differences, and political beliefs. While Watkins's retelling retains some of these elements, it transforms the film into a more Americanized and shocking horror experience, altering the film's overall impact.

In this slick Hollywood film, the technical aspects are robust, and the performances captivating. James McAvoy delivers a remarkable performance, reminiscent of his dark character "The Beast" in "Split" and "Glass." His portrayal is both mesmerizing and terrifying, but it overshadows the film's narrative.

In order to address my concerns with the film, there will be spoilers ahead.

The appeal of the Danish film lies in the nuanced and gradual transformation of Patrick, a seemingly ordinary character, into a horrifying monster. Patrick's portrayal lacks the exaggeration of a caricature, making him feel genuine and believable. This authenticity enhances the tension and horror as the viewer witnesses Patrick's predatory instincts unfold. The initial plausibility of the Swedish family's visit to the countryside sets the stage for the subsequent events, which take a sinister turn, becoming increasingly unsettling, primal, and ultimately shocking.

Whether or not you have seen the original movie, Paddy stands out as an intense and extreme character from his very first appearance in the retelling. There is an immediate sense of unease, a gut feeling that things will not end well for the Daltons.

In the retelling of the story, various elements are skillfully manipulated. A notable aspect of the Danish film is its deliberate omission of guns, a clever plot twist that culminates in a shocking climax, leaving a lasting impact on the viewer.

In the Danish film, Patrick's admission that he is not a doctor prompts an explanation for his deception. This pivotal moment intensifies the story's peril. In the remake, after Paddy’s explanation it cuts to the shock on the Daltons' faces as then as Paddy laughingly explains he was merely joking. While this aligns with his character's manipulative nature, it seems derivative of many genre films. The audience recognizes that Paddy is lying, making the scene feel pointless.

The Dalton family, originally from the United States, has relocated to London. They received this invitation to a rustic estate deep in the British countryside. As they embark on their journey in their Tesla,I had to question the practicality of their choice of vehicle. What charging options are available at the farm and along the remote countryside roads One has to wonder if this decision foreshadows their lack of understanding about the experience they are about to encounter.

In contrast to its predecessor, the film veers into a familiar horror trope, as the Daltons and Ant fortify themselves within a farmhouse while Paddy, Ciara, and Mike attempt to gain entry to eliminate them. Unlike the conventions of most horror films, Louise Dalton's maternal instincts awaken, prompting her to fight back as Ben Dalton exhibits cowardice. McAvoy's character undergoes a transformation from a plotting, conniving killer, and becomes the quintessential enraged, reactionary villain.

In the Danish film, the bold narrative deviates from conventional storytelling by challenging the triumph of good over evil, as innocent characters succumb to their fate. This contrasts with the American remake, where the prey escapes and Ant's brutal actions, akin to the parents' murder in the original film, are unleashed with a primal scream. The American version could be interpreted as a liberalized adaptation of the impactful Danish film or simply a watered-down, Americanized rendition of another great foreign masterpiece. This trend can be observed in other American remakes, such as "The Vanishing," "Nightwatch," and "Let the Right One In."

While the intention behind the reimagining of SPEAK NO EVIL is understandable, the execution falls short. The film heavily borrows elements from the Danish original that made it a critical success, but these crucial aspects are replaced by generic genre film action. As a result, SPEAK NO EVIL loses its cerebral horror and relies heavily on reactionary scares to elicit a cheap thrill from the audience. This approach may provide 2025’s Universal Halloween Horror Nights with another attraction but fails to capture the essence of the original film.

If you haven't watched the 2022 Danish film, you're likely to appreciate McAvoy's performance and the abundant jump scares. However, if you have seen the original, you might be let down by the oversimplification of the content, reducing it to the level of "fast food" - not even of the quality of Five Guys, Shake Shack, or McDonald's, but rather comparable to White Castle. Nevertheless, who can resist an occasional craving for sliders throughout the year?
