- FEATURE COMMENTARY WITH WRITER/DIRECTOR JAMES WATKINS
James Watkins (The Woman in Black, Eden Lake) directed Speak No Evil for Blumhouse and Universal, with Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate, Happiest Season) and James McAvoy (Split, Glass) starring. Scoot McNairy (Argo) also stars.
In the remake, “After befriending a British couple with a mute son, Americans Ben and Louise accept an unusual invitation to bring their daughter for a weekend at an idyllic country estate. Yet when they discover their hosts are hiding sinister motives, Ben and Louise fear their family may be pawns in a disturbing plot.”
James Watkins also wrote the script for the Speak No Evil remake.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “James Watkins, along with a game cast, stays faithful to the source material, for the most part, in this Americanized remake but opts for a much livelier third act that dials up the intensity.” Meagan continues, “Speak No Evil ultimately trades its potent messaging for a late summer thrill ride.”
