Horror remakes may be released all the time, but only a few stand because they have riveting characters and a genuinely freaky premise. The Blumhouse Speak No Evil remake is one of the most impressive of the last few years, and now there’s a place to stream it. According to Bloody Disgusting, horror fans can watch the Speak No Evil remake on Peacock as of December 6th, 2024.
The movie follows Ben (Scott McNairy) and Louise Dalton (Mackenzie Davis) who become friendly with Ciara (Aisling Franciosi) and Paddy (James McAvoy) while on a trip with Agnes (Alix West Lefler), their daughter. The truth about Paddy and Ciara is frightening and disturbing. Unlike some horror movies that move along slowly before delivering a plot twist that audiences saw coming from a mile away, the big reveal in Speak No Evil is genuinely surprising. The ending of the movie is solid as well.

Stephen King is a big fan of a Netflix horror movie that premiered on the streaming service in the summer of 2024, and now there will be a sequel.
Speak No Evil was released in movie theaters on September 13th, 2024, and grossed $36,931,420 domestically, according to Box Office Mojo. The worldwide gross for the remake was $76,743,256. The original movie was directed by Christian Tafdrup and released in 2022. It also premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2022. Since the premise is so eerie, it makes total sense that there is now a remake.
The Speak No Evil remake joins other horror movies on Peacock, such as the gory teen werewolf tale Ginger Snaps, the brilliant Blumhouse elevated horror film Get Out, the Christmas horror story Better Watch Out. The streaming service has a great mix of older and more recent releases such as this 2024 remake.
McAvoy delivers a particularly praiseworthy performance in Speak No Evil, and it’s interesting to learn more about his approach to acting. In an interview with Sharp Magazine, McAvoy said of his acting career:
“I do a lot of projects for me, whether or not I think they’re going to be seen by a wide audience. I’ve done two improvised films now. Those were really more about my development as an actor. And then there are films like [
Speak No Evil
], where I get to test out what I’ve learned to a wider audience.”
It’s time to rewatch favorite holiday horror movies, which can thankfully be found on a variety of streaming services. However, it’s also a great time of year to catch up on 2024 releases. Horror fans looking for a creepy and suspenseful story about family, relationships, and how a vacation can go terribly wrong will want to check out the Speak No Evil remake on Peacock.
