Coming your way in September from IFC Midnight and Shudder is director Christian Tafdrup, horror film Speak No Evil. The flick looks pretty gnarly and will be dropping on Shudder September 15.

IFC Midnight’s release brings the film to theaters in NY and LA on September 9.

Check out the official trailer for Speak No Evil below.

“On a vacation in Tuscany, two families – one Danish, one Dutch – meet and become fast friends. Months later, the free-spirited Dutch family extends an invitation to the more conservative Danish one for a holiday weekend getaway at their countryside home.

“However, it doesn’t take long before things gradually get out of hand as the joy of reunion is replaced with misunderstandings. The Dutch hospitality quickly turns unnerving for the Danes, and they find themselves increasingly caught in a web of their own politeness in the face of eccentric…or is it sinister…behavior.”

Morten Burian, Sidsel Siem Koch, Fedja Van Huêt, Karina Smulders, Liva Forsberg, and Marius Damslev star. Christian Tafdrup wrote the film’s script with Mads Tafdrup.

Christian Tafdrup graduated from The Danish National School of Performing Arts in 2003. As an actor Tafdrup has starred in both feature films and TV. Among other projects, he starred in Susanne Bier’s Academy Award nominated After the Wedding, the BAFTA winning tv-series ‘Borgen’, and the TV-2 series ‘Park Road’.

Tafdrup is known for his razor-sharp satirical tone in his films, where he mixes comedy and drama in order to examine interpersonal relationships in our modern western society.
