Oplev den nervepirrende 'Speak No Evil', hvor høflighed kan være farlig! Mød Mackenzie Davis og se, hvorfor denne gyser inspirerer til snak!

Vi befinder os i en tid, hvor netflix- og biograflanseringer nærmest sætter standarden for, hvad der er stærkt i underholdningsverdenen, især når det kommer til gyserfilm. En af de nyeste og mest omtalte film i denne genre er 'Speak No Evil', en remake af den danske gyserfilm af Christian Tafdrup fra 2022, som nu optræder i amerikansk udgave med stjerner som James McAvoy og Mackenzie Davis i hovedrollerne. James Watkins, der står i spidsen for projektet, har forvandlet den danske historie, der sætter fokus på, hvordan overskydende høflighed kan føre til uhyggelige og frygtelige konsekvenser.

Mackenzie Davis, kendt fra sine roller i populære serier som 'Halt and Catch Fire', har nu erstattet sine tidligere relationer med Scoot McNairy til en tilstandsændring som et gift par, hvilket skaber en intens dynamik på skærmen. Under en recent interview bemærkede hun, hvordan det var at arbejde sammen med McAvoy og navigere i den tætte forbindelse, som deres figurer deler, mens de bliver fanget i en dystopisk fortælling om tillid og svigt. Da de drager ud til et tilsyneladende idyllisk ferieparadis, viser det sig hurtigt, at høflighed ikke er den eneste ting, som kan vise sine grimme ansigtstræk. Da skæbnen banker på, tvinges de to til at konfrontere noget, de nogle gange nægter at tale om.

På filmens premierekvæk fra investeringsverdenen er der store forventninger om, at 'Speak No Evil' kan indsamle op mod 10 millioner dollars i sit første week-end box office, hvilket viser, hvordan den danske filmindustri bliver anerkendt, når de originale værker bliver overført til en international scene. Med en stærk tegnedreng som McAvoy, som i fortiden har givet grufulde præstationer i film som 'Split' og 'Glass', kan det effektivt få publikums spændinger på kanten af deres sæder. Det er klart, at dette psykologiske monster af en film vil være underlagt en stor portion snak i efterladnheden af dens release.

Filmen er nu tilgængelig i biografen, og fansen spekulerer allerede på, hvornår 'Speak No Evil' vil finde vej til streamingtjenester. Så, hvis du planlægger en aften for frygt og spænding – husk at tage dine popcorn og forbered dig på den uhyggelige charme, som McAvoy og Davis bringer med sig. For ikke at tale om, at du kan se James McAvoy i en rolle, der som oftest vil få selv den mest nervøse til at omfavne det onde.

Der er et interessant twist ved denne film; den danske original blev faktisk en stor snak i de lokale biografer, og nu ser vi en fascinerende eksponering af, hvordan kultur og fortællinger kan blive krydset mellem kontinenter. Udover det, så aspektet af menneskelige relationer under vanskelige omstændigheder, er det, der gør gysergenren så hypnotiserende og relevant, især når det kommer til at belyse sociale spørgsmål, hvilket 'Speak No Evil' formår med både dybde og splatter!
