SPEAK NO EVIL SAT | 26/4 |
Speak No Evil is based on the Danish film of the same name. The story follows the Paddy family (played by James McAvoy) who are on holiday in Italy and accidentally meet the Ben family (played by Scoot McNairy). They become friends after a few conversations, and eventually, Patrick invites Ben to visit his home. It is during this visit that the strange behaviors of Paddy's family begin to unfold. The encounter becomes tense as the Ben family tries to leave Paddy's house, only to face many dangers along the way.
HIGHLIGHT
The new film from the "horror empire" Blumhouse, Speak No Evil, stars James McAvoy (BAFTA Award winner) in the lead role. According to The Guardian, McAvoy's performance is the main reason for audiences to see the film, with critics praising his transformation. He is famously known for playing the young Charles Xavier/Professor X in the X-Men superhero franchise. Unlike many thrillers that rely on jumpscares and shock tactics to surprise viewers, Speak No Evil uses psychological transformation and explores various camera angles to create a sense of unease. The film has achieved box office success, grossing five times its production budget, with a total of $76 million.
