‘Speak No Evil’ Trailer: James McAvoy & Mackenzie Davis Starring Psychological Thriller Hits In September

See no evil. Hear no evil. 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 a new psychological thriller with a terrific cast. From Blumhouse, the producer of “The Black Phone,” “Get Out” and “The Invisible Man,” comes an intense suspense thriller starring BAFTA award-winner James McAvoy (“Split,” “Glass”) 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).

The thriller 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.

Here’s the official synopsis:

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. 

“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.

Universal Pictures will release “Speak No Evil” on September 12. Watch the first trailer below.
