The people who live in this house could be dangerous if they are not careful. They may be swingers looking to get you into their home for a little bit of fun, but their intentions could be far more sinister. If they are not careful, they could get you hurt or worse.
The Danish family, Bjorn and Louise, along with their daughter Agnes, are invited to spend a weekend at the home of a Dutch family they met while vacationing in Tuscany. They are uncertain about taking the trip but when one of their friends raises the question “what’s the worst that could happen?” they decide to throw caution to the wind and go along. When they arrive at the house, they find out that it is haunted by a ghost named Anna who has been tormenting the family for years. The Danish family begins to experience terrifying hallucinations and terrifying dreams which make them doubt whether or not they will be able to make it out alive. ..
They regret their decision to answer their friend’s question about the ‘worst’ thing they’ve ever experienced. The answer is much worse than they could have imagined.
The first few hours of their stay are uneventful. There are some minor inconveniences, such as not being able to sleep in the same room as their hosts’ son Abel, but for the most part everything goes smoothly. ..
The trip takes a turn for the worse when Bjorn and Louise realize they have little in common with the people they are staying with. Aside from the cultural differences that will resonate more with Dutch and Danish audiences than viewers outside of the Netherlands, there are bigger issues at play, such as Patrick’s abusive form of parenting which does much to alarm the visiting couple.
The group of tourists who stayed in the hostel for the weekend decided before the weekend even started that the trip was not for them and prepared to leave as soon as possible.
The film becomes darker as the reasons why Bjorn and his family were invited to stay with their hosts become all too clear. What was once a social commentary and black comedy rolled into one becomes something far more nightmarish, with scenes that may be traumatic for viewers of a sensitive nature. The final few moments in the film are particularly disturbing and they may well haunt you long after the end credits have rolled. ..
This film is a dark and twisted take on the slasher genre, with realistic scenarios and surprises that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re looking for something that will make you feel uncomfortable and scared, this is definitely the film for you.
The film’s ominous music score and the haunting visuals create a tense atmosphere, but it’s the early moments within the film that foretell the horrors that are to come. Bjorn’s polite nature eventually becomes his undoing, and while it’s sometimes easy to sympathize with him, there may be times when you find yourself shouting at him from the other end of your TV screen, insisting that he does more to protect himself and his family.
The narrative of “The Nun” is one filled with twists and turns that will have you wanting to see how it all plays out. Although the final denouement may be as horrible as you’re probably expecting, it’s worth sticking around for the ride. ..
I was pleasantly surprised by Speak No Evil as it has more to say than others of its type, with characters that come across like real human beings and not movie stereotypes. Even Patrick and Karin, who are ultimately quite despicable, have character traits that, on the surface, are warm and relatable. This begs the question: What if they share things in common with the ‘nice’ people we meet on vacation? It’s a question worth considering as none of us want to end up in a similar situation to that faced by Bjorn and his family in Christian Tafdrup’s disquieting tale of terror. ..
The Speak No Evil ending of “The Evil Within” was finally explained by the game’s director, Shinji Mikami. Mikami said that the ending is not a happy one, but it is the most logical conclusion to the story. The Evil Within’s Speak No Evil ending was finally explained by its director, Shinji Mikami.
