As a cinema connoisseur who has seen more horror films than I care to remember, I must say that Speak No Evil has piqued my interest. The allure of James McAvoy’s performance and the intriguing narrative of a weekend getaway gone awry is enough to entice even the most jaded moviegoer.
Despite some recent less favorable reviews from fans about Blumhouse’s releases this year like “Imaginary”, “Afraid”, and “Night Swim”, one of their more critically acclaimed yet controversial movies has finally set its digital release date. According to Bloody Disgusting, director James Watkins’ film “Speak No Evil” will become available on all video-on-demand platforms starting October 1st. This is a remake of the 2022 Danish original, where an American family receives an invitation from a British couple to visit their secluded farmstead. However, what was initially a peaceful weekend retreat soon turns into a harrowing nightmare, with an outstanding performance by star James McAvoy.

Besides being available digitally, the movie Speak No Evil will additionally become accessible on both DVD and Blu-ray formats on November 19. This means that enthusiasts of physical media can now look forward to including it in their collection. At present, Amazon offers the Blu-ray edition (which includes a digital code) for pre-order at $30.99, while the DVD version is priced at $17.95.
How Speak No Evil Became a Divisive Remake
Despite some doubting the necessity of an American remake for a film still relatively new, Speak No Evil has effectively won over both critics and viewers in their evaluation of the movie. On Rotten Tomatoes, it boasts a fresh certification with a 83% approval rating from 191 reviews, while its audience score remains high at 85% based on over 1,000 verified ratings.
Nevertheless, it’s important to note that Watkins’ adaptation hasn’t escaped criticism, as the movie has sparked a divide among viewers on social media platforms. Many are voicing their concerns about the softened ending, which represents a significant departure from the original Danish version. The Blumhouse production raised eyebrows when it decided to present an optimistic conclusion, a stark contrast to the somber ending of Christian Tafdrup’s European counterpart, who labels it as “happy.
Nonetheless, “Speak No Evil” stands as Blumhouse’s most profitable movie of the year, earning $57.7 million at the box office. Even though it pales in comparison to their 2023 blockbusters like “M3GAN”, “Five Nights at Freddy’s”, and “Insidious: The Red Door” – which raked in over $100 million each – it does provide a stepping stone towards 2025, a year that’s expected to be filled with sequels intended to rebuild some of their lost prestige.
