Every now and then a movie comes out that just makes you feel completely uncomfortable when you watch it as the plotline is literally some people going somewhere and getting trapped by some other people and then psychologically and physically tortured. It’s just not that great a watch a lot of the time.

The latest one of these movies looks as though it’s going to be ‘Speak No Evil’. The film tells the story of a Danish family that meet a Dutch family on holiday, hit it off and then decide to go and visit them in the middle of nowhere a few months later.
Things start to get more and more unsettling during their time spent there until it looks like the Danish family end up getting tortured and murdered – although hopefully they escape and murder the family themselves. You never really know with films like this do you, but it’s normally one of those two endings.
Anyway, you can take a look at the trailer below:
Yeah that does look like an uncomfortable watch doesn’t it? And everyone who’s seen the movie on Twitter can pretty much confirm this as well:
I just finished Speak No Evil which is a pretty great (and brutal) Danish psychological horror movie. It’s very much in the tradition of “city slickers get victimized by rural folks” horror movies and is also a satire/critique of urban bourgeois liberalism. pic.twitter.com/kXZg9vfik7

REVIEW: At many points throughout SPEAK NO EVIL, there will be yelling at the screen while audiences are subjected to one of the most depraved and sadistic endings on film.

SPEAK NO EVIL – The feel bad film of Sundance 2022. Felt like a cousin to ‘Funny Games’ and is arguably even more brutal and upsetting. I found it incredibly effective at what it was trying to do. pic.twitter.com/cAI7eklvQn

Speak No Evil is bloody brutal, wow.

SPEAK NO EVIL is a special kind of dark comedy. One that eases into a stress induced panic without you even realizing it. And when that ending finally hits… ugh.
It’s funny and clever until it’s bleak and sadistic. So naturally I loved it. On @Shudder 9/15. Seek this one out. pic.twitter.com/19gXdh5jnW

hell Speak No Evil left me a bit numb! A slow burn horror, with a continual sense of impending doom and an unsettling score that underlines it. Nothing will prepare you for how it unfolds. Some “what the hell are you doing” moments but overall it’s a bleak, brutal film! pic.twitter.com/CJi7bp9ufz

Yeah, really doesn’t sound as if that family are making it out of there does it? Find out whenever you want because the movie has been streaming on Shudder for a couple of months now. The perfect Christmas watch?
For more of the same, check out ‘Skinamrink’. That’s meant to be the scariest film of next year.
