Ý chính: We’ll learn later that they have a not-insignificant amount of money in the bank, and that’s why these unemployed people can afford to take a vacay to a beautiful resort in Italy. Ben (Scoot McNairy) and Louise Dalton (Mackenzie Davis) and their 11-year-old daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler) are Americans who relocated to London for a job that didn’t pan out for Ben. He’sa bit stressed-out – who can blame him – and isn’t as patient as Louise, especially when it comes to Agnes’ anxiety, which manifests in an attachment to a stuffed bunny-slash-plot device named Hoppy. The trip is surely a distraction from daily troubles, and it’sa little more fun than they expected after they meet gregarious fellow Paddy (McAvoy) and his wife Ciara (Aisling Franciosi) and their son Ant (Dan Hough). The Daltons really hit it off with these people, who are loose and a little crazy and therefore fun, and the kids get along well. Nice nice everything’s nice and nothing could ever go wrong here. Bao giờ. Hứa!
Now let’s pause to note that Ant has a “condition†in which part of his tongue is missing, limiting his ability to communicate. In normal reality this wouldn’t be a big thing at all, but this is a movie, so that’s Something To Note, hence my noting it. We see a red flag, of course, but Ben and Louise and Agnes don’t, but we should give them some leeway because they don’t know they’re in a movie. Everyone returns home and things are back to the usual struggle and tension for the Dalton family and what might soothe that? Accepting Paddy’s invite out to the English countryside for the weekend. Louise is like but we don’t know them that well, but ultimately it seems harmless enough, right? TẤT NHIÊN RỒI. And so they go, and the locale is rather remote, which is another red flag to go with the niceness and the missing tongue, but you don’t piece this stuff together when you’re movie characters who are so deep in the screenplay forest they can’t see the screenplay trees.
Nó sẽ gợi nhớ cho bạn những bộ phim nào?: Remember Cold Creek Manor? Of course you don’t. Tại sao bạn lại làm vậy? Nhưng tôi biết. It’sa quasi-home invasion thriller that’s very much in the same vein as Speak No Evil, with Stephen Dorff as the nut who mercilessly gaslights poor Sharon Stone and Dennis Quaid and Kristen Stewart. It’s one of the stupidest movies I’ve ever seen. Speak No Evil isn’t nearly as stupid, rest assured.
