Speak No Evil Featurette Explores the Real-Life Origins of the Remake
The upcoming horror film “Speak No Evil” is a fresh adaptation of the 2022 Danish movie “Gaesterne,” but what adds to the chilling atmosphere is that the original story was based on real-life events, albeit not as grim as portrayed in either movie. In a recent behind-the-scenes look at “Speak No Evil,” director and co-writer of the Danish film, Christian Tafdrup, shared how the idea stemmed from an experience he had during his vacation, where he pondered what would transpire if he accepted an invitation to spend more time with a seemingly amiable family. Tafdrup also revealed that shortly after the release of the original movie, Blumhouse reached out to him with plans to create their own version of the story. You can watch the new featurette below before “Speak No Evil” hits theaters on September 13th.
