Shot on location in atmospheric hilltop communities around Istria including Grožnjan and Motovun, the latest film starring Scottish actor James McAvoy has just been released in cinemas. Directed by the UK’s James Watkins, a master of the horror genre, Speak No Evil is a psychological drama involving two families who meet on holiday then continue their friendship in a remote farmhouse.
The production is another feather in the cap for the Croatian film industry and, in particular, Zagreb-based MP Films, whom Watkins has previously relied on for top-notch crew, equipment and locations. Speak No Evil comes hot on the heels of another major release also filmed in Croatia, Lee, starring Kate Winslet.
