JAMES MCAVOY IN NEW FEATURETTE FOR 'SPEAK NO EVIL', COMING TO THEATRES FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH

A good host comes with many surprises.

 

See James McAvoy embrace darkness in #SpeakNoEvilMovie only in theatres September 13.





When an American family is invited to spend the weekend at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended on vacation, what begins as a dream holiday soon warps into a snarled psychological nightmare. 

 

From Blumhouse, the producer of The Black PhoneGet Out and The Invisible Man, comes an intense suspense thriller for our modern age, starring BAFTA award-winner James McAvoy (SplitGlass) in a riveting performance as the charismatic, alpha-male estate owner whose untrammeled hospitality masks an unspeakable darkness. 

 

Speak No Evil stars Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark FateHalt and Catch Fire) and SAG award-winner Scoot McNairy (ArgoA Quiet Place Part II) as American couple Louise and Ben Dalton, who, along with their 11-year-old daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler; The Good Nurse, Riverdale), accept the weekend-holiday invitation of Paddy (McAvoy), his wife Ciara (Aisling Franciosi; Game of ThronesThe Fall) and their furtive, mute son Ant (newcomer Dan Hough).

That film earned 11 Danish Film Awards nominations, the Danish equivalent of the Oscars.
