Watching “Speak No Evil” in theaters in early fall remains one of my favorite cinema experiences of the year, and that’s primarily because James McAvoy is completely unhinged in the central role, in the best possible way. This psychological thriller is one of the year's biggest pleasant surprises, and it’s a great showcase of the Scot's highly committed approach to acting.
If you missed this dark thriller when it was playing on the big screen, now you can stream it at home thanks to Peacock. “Speak No Evil” debuted on the streaming service today (Friday, Dec. 6), and it’s definitely a flick you’ll want to add to your watchlist. Focused on an American family trying to navigate an increasingly uncomfortable social situation, “Speak No Evil” is a tense thriller with a shocking third-act twist that you won’t see coming.
