An American family is on vacation in Italy when they meet a friendly English woman. She invites them to her countryside home in England for what seems like a peaceful weekend. It all sounds perfect, but things soon take a dark and unexpected turn..

The movie puts an English spin on the Danish film Speak No Evil, with a bit of American influence. It starts with an eerie psychological thriller vibe, mixes in some dark humor, and eventually plunges into full-on horror. It’s a tense ride, so get ready for some serious twists.

James Watkins switched up the original story setting to have an American family clashing with an English one instead of the Danish-Dutch thing going on in the first film. Even if you’ve seen the original version, both movies bring their own fire—so watching either is gonna mess with your head just right!

The action kicks off in Italy where we meet Paddy—he’s part of this lively English family traveling with his wife and their young kiddo. He locks horns with Ben from an American family who’s a bit more buttoned-up—they’ve moved over to England too and have their daughter along. Before you know it, they’re planning this joint holiday that ends up being way crazier than anyone expected!

So yeah, things start off under the Italian sun reminding us a tiny bit of that original flick but they quickly morph into comparing these two unique families—it’s kinda hilarious at times yet leaves a knot in your stomach as everything gets all intense!
family. Behind closed doors, though? That’s where things get juicy.

So you’ve got this American family—Mr. and Mrs. Dalton played by Mackenzie Davis and Scoot McNairy—you know, the kind that might seem like they’re barely holding it together. Their kid, Agnes, is in on this ride too. Meanwhile, over in the British corner, James McAvoy and Aisling Franciosi are playing Paddy and Ciara with their son Ant who’s got a bit of mystery to him.

The story’s got these classic vibes where one family feels like it’s disintegrating while the other seems like it’s rock-solid. Pretty soon, everyone figures out there’s more going on than meets the eye. The script takes its time building up these characters, keeping you guessing about who they really are.

Now let’s talk about those performances because they really hit home thanks to some killer casting choices. Over-the-top sometimes? Yeah, but that’s okay because it makes the whole thing work better.

Oh, and those kids definitely steal the show—a lot more than you’d think if you’re familiar with earlier versions of this tale. And we can’t forget Ben Dalton because his role sure keeps you engaged!

It all kicks off with these opposites—one dude’s timid and hesitant while the other’s all confident and take-charge—and watching how they interact is just wild. James McAvoy’s bringing his trademark style here too—throwing in some signature eyebrow action that’s hard to miss.

On top of everything else happening, there’s a social mixed bag with buttoned-up Americans clashing against chill Brit vibes—it’s like two worlds colliding under one roof! But dig a little deeper and you’ll find some real interesting stuff cooking behind all those polite smiles and awkward introductions.

It’s pretty hilarious watching all those clichés get turned on their head. The film kicks off with a bright and breezy setting in Italy—imagine Vespas zooming around and pasta on every corner. But then, the mood shifts to Devon in Cornwall, where things start to look grim. An English family welcomes some Americans who’ve just cruised over from London in a sleek, eco-friendly Tesla. Picture their farm: it’s kind of got that cozy-but-maybe-collapsing charm to it. While there’s definitely an inviting warmth about the place, there’s also this eerie vibe hiding underneath that reminds you a bit of Sam Peckinpah’s *Straw Dogs*. But here’s the kicker: the creepiness doesn’t come from outside threats this time.
