James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis share which elements of their characters they found the most intriguing and compliment each other while discussing their differing approaches to the craft
Story
A family is invited to spend a whole weekend in a lonely home in the countryside, but as the weekend progresses, they realize that a dark side lies within the family who invited them.. The story is inspired by the experiences of Christian Tafdrup, director of the original Danish Speak No Evil (2022), who had befriended a Dutch couple while on holiday in Tuscany with his wife. Although the Dutch were a bit socially awkward, both couples got along very well, and after returning home, Tafdrup received an invitation from the Dutch family to come over to the Netherlands.
Ben Dalton: Why are you doing this to us?Paddy: Because you let us!
He briefly considered it, but decided that he would feel odd staying with people he didn't really know; his story for the movie came about when he unleashed his darkest fantasies on what could have happened, had he accepted (while maintaining that the original Dutch couple had never given off any bad vibes). In this remake, the nationalities of the two families have been changed to American and British.. In the bathroom, when he's washing his eye, he has a Subconjunctival hemorrhage in his left eye, in his next scene, his eyes are perfectly clear..

James Mcevoy stole the show. His performance blurs the lines between being charismatic and charming to unnerving and sinister.
The remake struggles to get to the unhinging and downright terrifying moments in the third act that they original created (Especially the ending scene in the quarry)However, the remake it does offer a new twist to the original
The remake of the Danish film with the same title follows in its footsteps for most of the film however, does differ in the final act.The original film I believe takes it to a level that makes it different and memorable. A different setting on an English farm which boasts a different type of scenery from the original as well as an American family being the guests.This movie provides some special moments where the viewers are cringing (in a good way) at the conversations that the couples are having. Definitely makes you feel uneasy, specially when you know the nature of the hosts intentions.I just feel like the final act was a bit too Hollywood, in the sense of the families actions and ultimate conclusion to the film.

However, I will say that the remake does enough to warrant enough for its creation thoroughly helped by a special performance by James and his fellow cast members.Enjoyable :)). The final season of "What We Do in the Shadows" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
