As we know, remaking successful or critically acclaimed movies is rarely a recipe for success, least of all ones that just came out, like, a week ago. Okay, sure, it has been two years since the original Danish version of Speak No Evil was released, but in the world of movie-making (and movie-watching), that might as well be yesterday.
Christian Tafdrup's haunting psychological horror tests human boundaries in a way M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin could only dream of, using the lives of Bjørn (Morten Burian) and Louise (Sidsel Siem Koch) - a Danish couple invited to a Dutch couple's country house for a weekend getaway - as the fracture point for the shattering of the social contract. Bjørn and Louise's hosts test their guests' limits, escalating from small passive aggressions to heinous intrusions of privacy and eventually all-out violence.
It's a clever, considered film, thus Hollywood has decided it needs a remake. James Watkins is at the helm, and while it has star power in the form of James McAvoy, there are few if any foreign-language horror films that have come out the other side of Hollywood in better shape than they went in - Martyrs, The Grudge, and Let Me In, to name a few.
