A Picture-Perfect Family with a Hidden Darkness

Speak No Evil follows a group of friends spending a weekend at the idyllic countryside home of another couple. The facade of a perfect family soon crumbles as McAvoy’s character reveals a disturbing side. His anger escalates over seemingly trivial matters like his children’s performance of the “Cotton Eyed Joe” song. The trailer hints this is just the beginning of events designed to make the guests feel increasingly uneasy.
