Going back to school, back to work, back to the daily commute and the juddering grind can all feel like a bit of a horror movie, can’t it? And you know what’s the perfect cure for that? A horror movie.
No, really. Multiple studies (including this one published by the American Psychological Association) have demonstrated that in the long term, watching scary movies can actually decrease generalised stress and anxiety. It sounds counterintuitive, but it’s all about desensitising the itchy trigger finger of your fight-or-flight pathways.
Do you like scary movies?
Speak No Evil is a psychological thriller based on the 2022 Danish horror masterpiece Gæsterne; was written for the screen and directed by James Watkins (Eden Lake and The Woman in Black); and stars BAFTA award-winner James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate), Scoot McNairy (Argo, A Quiet Place Part II) and Aisling Franciosi (The Nightingale, and she also played the series pivoting role of Lyanna Stark in Game of Thrones).
The movie begins with two families, one from each side of the Atlantic, meeting and befriending each other on a Tuscan vacation. Both clans become enamoured by the other’s charms and so when the British family (McAvoy and Franciosi) invite their new American holiday chums (Davis and McNairy) to stay with them at their quaint house in the UK countryside, they jump at the chance. No American can resist the allure of quaint. But it’s on this second trip where things start to go Blumhouse. Masks slip, tensions rise, and dark secrets come tumbling out of the old manor house closet. It all sounds like perfect popcorn-chewing fodder.
The nerve-shredding, suspense-ratcheting, thrill ride of Speak No Evil lands in UAE cinemas and will be shown across the region on Thursday, September 12, but if you want to get ahead of the crowds and catch an exclusive What’s On the Big Screen preview on Tuesday, September 10… This is what you’ll need to do.
