Shudder & IFC Midnight Announce Theatrical Run & Streaming Dates for ‘See No Evil’

Written by John Edward Betancourt

You know a streaming service is doing something right when it finds itself involved in more than just uploading movies to a server. Because that means the streamer in question is quickly becoming the definitive source for its audience and it is trusted by many to deliver in whatever capacity is being asked of them and Shudder is a service that continues to cement itself as such. For not only is it creating original films and securing the rights often to quality horror films, but it is also working in conjunction with partners on release schedules for horror films, as evidenced by today’s news.
​
For earlier today, Shudder and IFC Midnight announced the dates for the theatrical run of the upcoming horror film See No Evil, alongside when it will debut on Shudder. Further informing us of how intertwined Shudder rightfully is in the horror community and film scene and how it is a trusted source to bring these films to the masses when they’ve wrapped up their time in theaters, and well, without further ado… here are those dates and more information regarding this joint announcement, and the film, courtesy of Shudder and IFC Midnight.

‘Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thrillers and the supernatural, and IFC Midnight announced today a theatrical run for the highly-anticipated psychological horror Speak No Evil beginning Friday, September 9 ahead of the film’s streaming debut on Thursday, September 15.  A national rollout will follow beginning Friday, September 16. An official selection of Sundance Midnight 2022, Speak No Evil is written and directed by Christian Tafdrup (A Horrible Woman) and has also played the Goteborg Film Festival 2022, Seattle International Film Festival 2022, Chicago Critics Film Festival, the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival where Tafdrup won Best Director, and the Fantasia International Film Festival.
 
In Speak No Evil, 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.
 
Written by Tafdrup and his brother, Mads Tafdrup (A Horrible Woman), Speak No Evil stars Morten Burian and Sidsel Siem Koch as the Danish couple, Bjørn and Louise, as well as Fedja van Huêt and Karina Smulders as the Dutch couple, Patrick and Karin.
 
Speak No Evil is Tafdrup’s first genre film and was presented as part of Works-in-Progress at the Gothenburg (Göteborg) Nordic Film Market 2021. The acquisition deal was negotiated by Emily Gotto, VP, Global Acquisitions & Co-Productions on behalf of Shudder and Susan Wendt, Managing Director of TrustNordisk (Another Round) on behalf of the filmmakers ahead of Sundance.
 
The film is produced by Profile Pictures’ producer Jacob Jarek (Holy Spider, Rams), in co-production with Oak Motion Pictures in the Netherlands, with support from The Danish Film Institute, FilmFyn, The Netherlands Film Production Incentive, with co-financing from DR and Nordisk Film Distribution. Local distribution will be facilitated through Nordisk Film Distribution.
