Narrative
A family is invited to spend a whole weekend in a lonely home in the countryside, but as the weekend progresses, they realize that a dark side lies within the family who invited them.. Blumhouse Productions has been a major force in the horror genre since 2007’s Paranormal Activity became a worldwide sensation. The story is inspired by the experiences of Christian Tafdrup, director of the original Danish Speak No Evil (2022), who had befriended a Dutch couple while on holiday in Tuscany with his wife. Although the Dutch were a bit socially awkward, both couples got along very well, and after returning home, Tafdrup received an invitation from the Dutch family to come over to the Netherlands. He briefly considered it, but decided that he would feel odd staying with people he didn’t really know; his story for the movie came about when he unleashed his darkest fantasies on what could have happened, he had accepted (while maintaining that the original Dutch couple had never given off any bad vibes).

The key difference?
Finally, a win for Blumhouse after a year of mid-tier flicks and straight-up duds. Who would’ve thought the studio’s saving grace would be an American remake of a film that’s barely two years old-and already 80% in English? But here we are. This version is infinitely better, less frustrating, and dare I say, actually satisfying. James McAvoy-what a powerhouse.
The biggest improvement?
Honestly, just put this guy in every horror movie from now on, especially if he’s the villain. He’s so good at it, you can almost hear him whispering, "Watch me steal every damn scene." And, of course, he does. Every. Time.Speak No Evil is easily one of the best horror films of the year, in my opinion. Characters that actually deserve to be rooted for.

Well, okay, they’re a little dumb in the first third, but at least they smarten up before you lose all hope except for one particular individual. Blumhouse, take a bow-you’ve finally done something right!. The final season of "What We Do in the Shadows" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
