Speak No Evil Trailer
In the newly released creepy and terrifying trailer, McAvoy’s character grows increasingly angry at his children for not performing the catchy folk-inspired “Cotton Eyed Joe” to his liking. Of course, that’s — by far — the least of the problems for the guests of his humble abode. Elsewhere in the footage, McAvoy’s character keeps finding new and creative ways to make sure his guests feel deeply unsettled.
When an American family is invited to spend the weekend at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended on vacation, what begins as a dream holiday soon warps into a snarled psychological nightmare.
Synopsis of Movie
Without spoiling any surprises, the original film follows married couple Bjørn and Louise and their daughter Agnes as they travel abroad to Italy on vacation. While there, they meet another couple, Patrick and Karin, and their son Abel, who is around Agnes’ age.
The families get along well, and it is soon discovered that Abel, who has been mute during their interactions, has a rare congenital condition in which he was born without a tongue. Weeks after they return home, Bjørn and Louise receive an invitation to visit Patrick and Karin at their country home 8 hours away. Soon after their arrival, however, they learn that the friendly couple they met in Tuscany are not as they seem. Patrick begins to badger and harass Louise for her preference for vegetarian and pescatarian meals, forcing her to eat red meat on more than one occasion.
The passive-aggressive behavior of their hosts makes Louise feel increasingly uncomfortable, but despite repeatedly asking her husband to leave, the couple decides to stay the rest of the weekend out of politeness. The night before their expected departure, the hosts propose going out to dinner but expect Bjørn and Louise to agree to leave Agnes and Abel under the supervision of their trusted babysitter, Muhajid. The seemingly harmless behaviors of Patrick and Karin begin to escalate, placing Bjørn, Louise, and their young daughter Agnes in terrible danger.
