MoviesNewsShudderStreaming TVThrillerTrailers

Chilling New Trailer For Horror ‘Speak No Evil’ Will Leave You Speechless

Ahead of its September release, a new chilling trailer is here for the highly-anticipated psychological horror Speak No Evil, from Shudder and IFC Midnight. In Speak No Evil, while on a vacation in Tuscany, two families – Danish and one Dutch – meet and become fast friends. Months later, the free-spirited Dutch family extends an invitation to the more conservative Danish one for a holiday weekend getaway at their countryside home. However, it doesn’t take long before things gradually get out of hand as the joy of reunion is replaced with misunderstandings. The Dutch hospitality quickly turns unnerving for the Danes, and they find themselves increasingly caught in a web of their own politeness in the face of eccentric…or is it sinister…behavior. An official selection of Sundance Midnight 2022, Speak No Evil is written and directed by Christian Tafdrup (A Horrible Woman) and has also played the Goteborg Film Festival 2022, Seattle International Film Festival 2022, Chicago Critics Film Festival,
