James Watkins' American remake of the Danish horror film 'Speak No Evil' features a chilling story of an American couple, Ben and Louise Dalton, who visit new friends they met on vacation, only to find themselves in increasingly unsettling and dangerous situations. James McAvoy shines as the charismatic and menacing Paddy, whose aggressive behavior contrasts sharply with the anxious Ben and Louise. While the remake deviates from the original with a slightly less brutal ending and a few additional scenes, it maintains an atmosphere of genuine menace and social discomfort. The film explores themes of toxic masculinity and the dangers of excessive politeness, ultimately presenting a cautionary tale about trust and human nature. Despite some criticism from fans of the original, the remake is a sophisticated psychological thriller that delivers a disturbing, if not soul-crushing, experience.
