Universal Pictures has announced the Speak No Evil Blu-ray, DVD, and digital release dates for Blumhouse’s English remake of the hit 2022 Danish horror movie Gæsterne. This comes after nearly two weeks since the James McAvoy-led thriller made its theatrical debut. At the moment, the film is currently Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with a Tomatometer rating of 83% based on 191 reviews.
“When an American family is invited to spend the weekend at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended on vacation, what begins as a dream holiday soon warps into a snarled psychological nightmare,” reads the synopsis. “From Blumhouse, the producer of The Black Phone, Get Out and The Invisible Man, comes an intense suspense thriller for our modern age, starring BAFTA award-winner James McAvoy in a riveting performance as the charismatic, alpha-male estate owner whose untrammeled hospitality masks an unspeakable darkness.”
Speak No Evil will be available to rent or own on digital platforms starting tomorrow, October 1. This will then be followed by its Blu-ray and DVD release on November 19, 2024. The home video release will also include bonus never-before-seen featurettes, which are listed below:
