The “painfully tense, disarmingly funny and masterfully cringe-inducing” (Screen Rant) film will subsequently be available on Blu-ray
and DVD on November 19, 2024.
Check out an exclusive clip from the bonus features package below, wherein star Mackenzie Davis discusses the unique quality that makes Speak No Evil so scary – and frustrating.
Davis explains, “It has that classic horror movie thing of the lead characters continuing to put themselves in danger and it being frustrating to see them do that. But at the same time, I always understood why they kept coming back and putting themselves in danger. Because of this sort of social contract to be understanding and empathetic.”
Bonus Features include…
- NUCLEAR FAMILIES – Learn what drew James McAvoy and the rest of the cast to this film, discover what methods they used to embody their roles, and listen as they provide insight into the subtle intricacies surrounding the film’s two families.

- 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.”
