Warning: spoilers ahead!

The Danish director of the original Speak No Evil has hit out at the new remake for rewriting the “entire ending”, saying: “I don’t know what it is about Americans”.

Speak No Evil – which is an American remake of the 2022 Danish film of the same name – was released in cinemas on September 13. Written and directed by James Watkins (The Woman In Black, Eden Lake), the film stars James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, Aisling Franciosi and Scoot McNairy.

Now, the director of the original, Christian Tafdrup, has criticised the film’s remake for a number of significant changes.

The remake changes the nationalities of the families to British and American and Watkins has divided fans by completely changing the ending to the film.

And that is where I am leaving it until I’ve seen both. If you are discussing spoilers innyhe comments, please us the spoiler tags - ! in a triangle in the standard web interface.
