In this remake, the nationalities of the two families were changed to American and British
Tale
A family is invited to spend a weekend in a lonely house in the countryside, but as the weekend progresses, they realize there is a dark side to the family that invited them… James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis share which elements of the characters they find most intriguing and compliment each other on as they discuss their different approaches to the craft. The story is inspired by the experiences of Kristian Tafdrup, director of the original Danish film Speak No Evil (2022), who befriends a Dutch couple while on holiday in Tuscany with his wife. Although the Dutch were a bit socially awkward, the two couples got along very well, and after returning home, Tafdrup received an invitation from the Dutch family to come to Holland. He thought about it for a moment, but then decided it would be strange to be with people he didn’t really know; his story for the film emerged as he gave free rein to his darkest fantasies about what might have happened if he had agreed (while maintaining that the original Dutch couple never gave off bad vibes).

James McEvoy stole the show
His performance blurs the line between being charismatic and charming and being unnerving and disturbing. The remake of the Danish film of the same name follows in its footsteps for much of the film, but diverges in the final act. The original film, in my opinion, takes it to a level that makes it different and memorable. The remake struggles to live up to the disturbing and downright terrifying moments of the third act that were originally created (especially the final scene of the career). However, the remake offers a new twist on the original.
It definitely makes you feel uncomfortable, especially when you know the nature of the hosts’ intentions
A different setting on an English farm that boasts a different type of landscape than the original, as well as an American family as guests. This film offers some special moments where the viewers cringe (in a good way) at the conversations that the couples have. I think the final act was a bit Hollywood-esque, in terms of the families’ actions and the film’s final conclusion. However, I will say that the remake does enough to justify its making, helped entirely by a special performance from James and his fellow cast members. Nice :)).
