A British family welcomes an American family to their idyllic farmhouse for the weekend, but the dream vacation soon turns into a nightmare in 'Speak No Evil.' Playing the role of the charismatic, alpha-male host and head of the family Paddy is Bafta award-winner James McAvoy (known for his role as the young Charles Xavier in the X-Men universe), who was immediately intrigued when director James Watkins pitched him the role.

'Blumhouse has done so many kinds of movies, but they're mostly known for the horror genre, and they're exceptionally good at it,' says McAvoy. 'But reading the script, what kept me going after page three was the fact that these characters felt like real people and that it was based on things that we can recognize in the real world.'
