Speak No Evil
Psychological horror film about a Danish family that visits a Dutch family they met on holiday. The reunion gets way out of hand.
Please note that this film is in Danish, English and Dutch, with Dutch subtitles.
On a vacation in Tuscany, a Danish family befriends a Dutch family. Months later the Danish couple receives an invitation to visit the Dutch and decide to go for the weekend. However, it doesn’t take long before the joy of reunion is replaced by misunderstandings. Things gradually get out of hand, as the Dutch turn out to be something different than what they have pretended to be.
Although it takes quite a while until something actually happens, the atmosphere in the film is very threatening from the start,. The cruelty, however, follows in quick succession. Therefore, not suitable for tender souls.
