In this episode of Just That Film Podcast, we revisit Speak No Evil (2024), the tense psychological horror thriller directed by James Watkins and produced by Blumhouse. A remake of the acclaimed 2022 Danish film, it transforms an uncomfortable social situation into a nerve-shredding nightmare. (⁠Wikipedia)

Starring James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, Scoot McNairy, Aisling Franciosi, and Alix West Lefler, the film follows an American family who accept an invitation to spend a weekend at a secluded countryside home after meeting a seemingly charming British couple on holiday. As the weekend unfolds, awkward moments gradually escalate into something far darker and far more disturbing. (⁠Wikipedia)
