Speak No Evil

If you have already seen the Danish original, then do you really need to see this American remake? This is the question I asked myself. Yes you do. They are very similar for sure, however James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis,  Scoot McNairy and the rest of the cast are so good in it and it's so much fun, it's must viewing in my opinion. What's it all about? Well, it's a remake of the Danish 2022 film of the same name. It's about a couple, Ben and Louise,  who meet another couple, Paddy and Ciara, on vacation and are subsequently invited by them later for a follow-up vacation at Paddy and Ciara's countryside home. Paddy and Ciara have a son who doesn't speak. Paddy, who purports to be a doctor, claims his son to have been born with an abnormally small tongue which prevents him from speaking. Everything is not as it seems at the farmhouse. Things go from odd to really strange quickly, and then move in the direction of terror. It's a fun and funny ride fingernail-marked with a white knuckling ending. "Speak No Evil" - shout loudly how much fun this one is! Catch it in theatres now.
