Speak No Evil
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.

Having seen the Danish original (that came out mere two years prior to this one) and this American remake back to back this movie is not only completely unnecessary, retelling the same story americanized and only changes that made the movie objectively worse.
I don't want to get into any spoilers but the most disturbing, heart wrenching scenes do not happen at all but they try to make up for it by removing any bit of subtlety the original had...
As Maynard Keegan said: What became of subtlety? He was talking about fisting, I am talking about American movie story telling.
Also much of the story doesn't even make sense. Realism isn't really the movies strong suite.
To me the mere existence of this movie is utterly pointless.
They only diluted many parts of the story and psychological terror by injecting ideologies and fake morals in a way that feels tacked on. This movie overdues everything but then underdelivers in the most gruesome scenes by rewriting them completely, often even cutting them out completely.
The ending is very different to the original and also misses the point in it's entirety.
This one isn't bad but still one to avoid. Stick to the original. You won't die from reading some subtitles while a lot of the movie is in English anyway. The families in the original are Danish and Dutch and obviously don't understand each other by using their native tongue.
Just do yourself a favor and watch that version. This one is really shit if you seen the original.
