10 Horror Films You Didn't Know Were Being Remade

10. Speak No Evil

It's basically a given that any sufficiently successful international horror film will eventually receive an English-language remake, and while last year's Danish psychological horror Speak No Evil didn't blow up the box office, it did become a buzzy word-of-mouth hit on streaming.

Even though the movie - about a Dutch couple who increasingly test what their Danish house guests will put up with - is shot mostly in English, Hollywood evidently saw the opportunity to take a provocative horror and give it a bigger-budget, more star-studded re-do.

The remake was announced back in April and is set to star James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, and Scoot McNairy, while James Watkins (Eden Lake, The Woman in Black) will write and direct.

Easy though it is to view this remake as cynical, in the very least it's got one hell of an acting trio attached, which hopefully suggests it's going to offer its own clever spin on the original's specific brand of culture-clash horror.

Speak No Evil releases on August 9, 2024.
