James Watkins (The Woman in Black, Eden Lake) is director Speak no evil for Blumhouse and Universal, with Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate, The Most Beautiful Season) And James McAvoy (Split, glass) is set to star. Scoot McNairy (Argo) will also play.

The remake states: “When an American family is invited to spend the weekend at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended while on vacation, a dream vacation soon turns into a tangled psychological nightmare.”

James Watkins also wrote the screenplay for the Speak no evil New edition.

Jason Blum will produce the upcoming film for Blumhouse, with Paul Ritchie, Christian Tafdrup, Jacob Jarek and Bea Sequeira serving as executive producers.

Directed by Christian Tafdrup, the original Speak no evil was chosen by Bloody Disgusting as one of the 12 best international horror films of 2022. Daniel Kurland raved about the highly disturbing Danish nightmare: “This claustrophobic character study eerily examines the nature of evil and the terrifying realization that there may not always be a reason for malice. Speak no evil feels like the twisted Danish cousin of Barbar and every tense moment of silence feels like it could evolve into an entirely different kind of horror.”
