Speak No Evil (2022) | Distributed by: Shudder

This is a deeply unsettling psychological horror film based on two families who bond over a vacation but reveal the sinister nature of one family. The movie plays with the discomfort of social niceties as the protagonist grapples with moral dilemmas and increasing tension between the two families. The most horrific aspects of human nature are often just beneath the surface, and Speak No Evil shows how normal social behavior can devolve into something terrifying when crossed with malice.
