Speak No Evil (2022) Original version (English subs)

The Danish couple Bjørn, his vegetarian wife Louise and their young daughter Agnes are spending summer vacation at Tuscany, Italy. Agnes loses her stuffed rabbit Ninus and Bjørn seeks out the toy until he finds it. Soon they befriend the Dutch couple Patrick and Karin and their young son Abel, who was born without a tongue. When they return home, they receive an invitation from the Dutch couple to spend a weekend with them at their countryside house. They travel by car and after two days, Louise feels uncomfortable with the strange situations they have been submitted by the Dutch couple and convinces Bjørn to return home in the middle of the night. However, Agnes forgets to bring Ninus, and like true idiots they return to the house to retrieve the toy. Patrick and Karin apologize for the wrong-doings and Bjørn and Louise decides to stay for the rest of the holiday. However, during the night, Bjørn snoops around and finds dark secrets in the house and tells Louise that they will leave immediately the house but does not disclose his discoveries to her. What have Bjørn seen in the house? Yeah, a film that literally wants you to become angry with the Danish couple! How often do we see that ? And brilliantly delivers an anti political message. “You dont hang around weirdos because of political correctness “if it smells bad and looks bad“: You escape! In 2024 an American expectational bad remake for dimwitted adolescents was released by Blumhouse intact with guns, a “Girl boss Rambo“ ending the obligatory happy Hollywood ending, completely missing the point with the original film and the points it makes, also the original 2022 was also in English! This film wants to make the viewers angry and instead fight back and dont let others treat you as a door mat. The original film’s director and writer, Christian Tafdrup, criticized the remake saying that “I don’t know what it is about Americans, but they are brought up for a heroic tale, where the good must win over the bad, and this (American) version of the film cultivates that.“
