As a seasoned gamer and horror movie enthusiast who’s seen more than his fair share of twisted plots and chilling climaxes, I must admit that Speak No Evil 2024 left me utterly spellbound. The film’s dark narrative and shocking ending are reminiscent of the psychological rollercoasters I’ve experienced in some of my favorite survival horror games.
The mind-bending finale of “Speak No Evil 2024” leaves viewers spellbound with its dark storyline and unsettling climax. This psychological horror movie, a reinterpretation of the 2022 Danish version, chronicles the Dalton family’s journey as they meet new acquaintances and find themselves in a terror they never fathomed. With bone-chilling demises and a shocking turn of events, fans of the original are left pondering over the distinctions between the remake and its ancestor, questioning who perished and who managed to endure the horror’s grasp.
Here is everything you need to know about who dies and who is the killer in Speak No Evil.
Who dies at the end of 2024’s Speak No Evil?
The Dalton family, comprising of Ben Dalton (Scoot McNairy), Louise Dalton (Mackenzie Davis), and Agnes Dalton (Alix West Lefler), cross paths with Paddy (James McAvoy), Ciara (Aisling Franciosi), and the supposed son Ant (Dan Hough) during a vacation. They agree to visit their countryside home, unaware that what initially appears as an innocent encounter will soon take a sinister turn as the Dalton family uncovers the true nature of their hosts.
In a shocking revelation, Ant confides in Agnes that Paddy and Ciara are not his biological parents. Tragically, this abusive couple is considering repeating their heinous actions on the Dalton family – they had murdered Ant’s real parents, severed his tongue, and compelled him to masquerade as their own child. The cruel intent behind their actions towards the Dalton family becomes chillingly clear.
In the heat of a conflict, Louise ends up murdering Ciara and Mike, who was working alongside Paddy. Paddy manages to apprehend Agnes, but she retaliates by giving him drugs that eventually cause him to fall unconscious. Ben aims a gun at the fallen Paddy, but chooses not to pull the trigger. Unfortunately, Ant takes matters into his own hands and strikes Paddy’s head multiple times with a rock, leading to his death. In the final scenes of Speak No Evil, Ant departs with the Dalton family.
In contrast to the 2022 original film, the 2024 remake features a different ending for Patrick and Karin (the film’s rendition of Paddy and Ciara). Instead of leaving Agnes (who shares the same name in both movies) with her severed tongue and abandoning her, they travel with her on their next vacation, pretending she is their child, in search of a new target.
Why does Ant Kill Paddy in Speak No Evil (2024)?
Ant endured an overwhelming level of trauma and sorrow at the hands of Paddy, losing his family, his capacity to speak, and possibly even his entire childhood. This experience is something he can never recover from. Unlike Ben, who has the luxury of showing mercy towards a powerless Paddy since he hasn’t lost any immediate family members, Ant’s situation is drastically different. In fact, it could be argued that ending Paddy’s life might provide Ant with some form of resolution or closure.
