In Speak No Evil, an American family is invited by a British couple to spend the weekend at a remote farmhouse, only to realize that theyre in the clutches of a pair of deranged serial killers who will stop at nothing to make them their next victims. Its an unsettling experience to sit through as the tension slowly crescendos into an epic third act thats flush with murder, mayhem, and, of course, a happy ending. Its that ending that was recently criticized by Danish filmmaker Christian Tafdrup, who directed the original 2022 version that the James Watkins American remake is based on.
