'Deeply unsettling' thriller now available to stream at home
Horror fans are in for a treat as a star-studded film that leaves you 'barely able to breathe' is ready to watch at the click of a button 'An absolutely fantastic thriller' is now ready to stream with a recognisable cast bringing this 'creepy' story to life. Coming from the director of The Woman In Black, Speak No Evil was released in cinemas in September 2024, with Split actor James McAvoy leading the way as the terrifying Paddy. Joined by Tully actress Mackenzie Davis and The Nightingale's Aisling Franciosi, Speak No Evil sees a dream holiday transformed into a living nightmare as an American couple and their daughter spend the weekend at a British family's country estate. While everything initially appears to be normal upon the family's arrival, things soon take a dark turn and they begin to question who they're really staying with and how they can escape. And from today, Friday, 9th May, fans will be able to watch Speak No Evil whenever they want as it has been released on Sky Cinema and Sky's streamer NOW. Viewers have taken to TV and film aggregator Rotten Tomatoes to sing Speak No Evil's praises since its release. One critic labelled it as a 'genuinely unsettling film', with another writing: 'A rare psychological horror film that quietly chills to the bone without too much gore or creep chords, while cleverly relying on the implied and imagination to effectively do the heavy lifting.' A third commented: 'This is an absolutely fantastic thriller. 'It will keep you on the edge of your seat and the tension in the third act grabs you and you can barely breath at times.' While someone else agreed: 'When the plot of Speak No Evil kicks into high gear, and the secret behind this overly friendly country couple is revealed, the thrills and horror go into overdrive.' Speaking about what attracted him to star in Speak No Evil and his character Paddy's marriage to Ciara (Franciosi), McAvoy told Comic Book Resources: 'They're arguably very bad people, but they've got a f****** great relationship, even though it's violent and there's been grooming going on in their relationship and all that, they're capable of great happiness. 'Maybe you could argue she isn't, it's not fair to say whether she's happy or not because she's been so conditioned, but he is and he is capable of joy. 'And that was like, 'Whoa, that's messed up.' 'To play such a malevolent person who's capable of being happy was like, 'Wow, that's a really interesting, messed up person to play.''
