Speak No Evil Is... (REVIEW)

[@KrystleLovesHorror]

The trailer ticked me off every time it showed at the theater because I’ve seen the original, and they were showing WAY too friggin much. 😤 I’m going to see it because of McAvoy, but Blumhouse and their trailers/movies, I’m kinda done with. 🤦‍♀️

[@Slasher_Kirby]

James McAvoy's role in Split was really good

[@COLOSSALPRODUCTIONZ]

I saw this last night at a screening here in Atlanta. This one is just okay. I'd give it a 6/10. The buildup is cool but as the Movie approaches the 3rd Act, it begins to tumble down the hill. Maybe I've seen other Films similar to this one so it didn't do anything for me really. Definitely a one and done Movie. Watch at your own risk. I'd wait for streaming.

[@chickennuggetlover880]

Finally, a good Blumhouse movie, and one that doesn't rely on jumpscares

[@veeseee128]

I like James Mcavoy, He's one of my favorite actors but I also think he inspires to be like Gerard Butler. Well because for one thing they both kinda look alike and Butler has that intense acting presence in his movies. Remember 300?

[@jarekvelchek802]

I only saw the trailer once so I’m looking forward to this movie!

[@marvelboi3416]

You forgot to mention James McAvoy iconic performance in Split having split personality which should have gotten him a award.... James Watkins is an amazing writer and director. He wrote and directed the critically acclaimed thriller Eden Lake, starring Michael Fassbender and Kelly Reilly also The Woman In Black starring Daniel Radcliffe.

[@kevin-ul9sf]

as someone who just went to see it this evening, I didn't watch the trailer once before seeing it and can safely say I'm glad I did. The tension and suspense in this movie was fantastic for me. Really happy I went in blind, I can see from the trailers now how many moments were spoiled

[@akanshapandey5938]

Now coming to the remake, yes they have a changed ending. Till the last maybe 40 minutes the movie is more or less same plot wise with a lot of scenes directly lifted. Though the tone of the acting and direction is entirely different, so instead of a claustrophobic toxicity what you get is awkward giggles and then some fist clenching tension. The narrative on a deeper level is even more fucked in this one because here Paddy is not only hurting the people he takes hostage. You'd know when you see it what I mean. And of course the subtext about cultural conditioning doesn't make sense here with the subjects being American so we have a new dynamic put in between the victim couple, something that entirely makes sense and makes their somewhat stupid decision making believable. You'd feel like they are going to get out now, but then they get stopped and stay back. How, You'd need to see the film to know that, but I can tell you as much that it's not stupid at all. We get a very stretched out moment of tension before the 3rd acts drops like a bomb on the screen, and I'd watch the movie again and again just for those 15 extra minutes which were not in the original. All in all, it's definitely not as bleak but it drives its message home with certain success! Plus, you get a great time at cinema and this time you finally would be able to somewhat root for the characters to not die! I'd give an extra point for the great fun I had so, it's at 4-4.5/5 for me personally. It's not a bad 'americanized' remake and in no way disrespectful of its source material. Definitely worth a fair chance, I'd say! Grab a tub of popcorn, put your phone on silent and go have a great time.

[@mandyb2245]

I'm still kinda stoked to see this movie. Scoot McNairy and Mackenzie Davis were both also in the show Halt and Catch Fire. Too bad Lee Pace isn't in this movie too. And I've been a McAvoy fan since Narnia.

Chris, thank you so much for bringing up the fact that people be calling characters stupid but the characters in the movie do not know what we as an audience know. I never take those criticisms seriously, for me, those kind of people just do not know how to watch movies nor reviewing them. I find those people more stupid than movie characters.

It's funny that you mention bad choices - the original film seemed to be making a comment on inviting touble / letting bad shit happen out of fear of confrontation. I went in to the original film blind, was iffy on it for most of the run time, then the ending knocked me on my ASS. Everything hinges on that ending. Really hoping they keep it intact for American audiences!

The original is sinisterly great! I’ll check this remake out for James McAvoy alone, but based on the trailer, it looks like there’s going to be more action (I mean there’s an explosion in the trailer). But, I’ll give it a shot. I’d still recommend the original though.

[@robinsonarboleda1223]

That why I don't watch trailers anymore unless superhero or movies I know are going to flop hard i.e Snowwhite, I didn't knew anything about this movie, didn't watch trailers for it and was pleasently surprised by how tense it was, good movie. McAvoy is the man, he deserves an Oscar nomination for this.

[@AevasHouse]

The thing that grinds my gears about this one is that it was marketed to be an original idea and even some of the featurettes with the actors make it seem like they had no idea they were doing a remake. The Original gilm came out 2 years ago on Shudder and is mostly in English, WHY DID THEY DO THIS?!

[@akanshapandey5938]

I watched the original yesterday. Liked it, and I'd give it props for taking the theme head on and being brutal as hell. But there are also major grudges with how the script treats Bjorn and Louise in the last 30 minutes. Being polite because your culture doesn't allow you to be impolite is one thing, but when it comes to life or death everyone is wired by nature to have a survival instinct. Doesnt matter that you fail but anyone would at least try to save themselves. The last act of the original is a story of self sabotage, and I felt it did the characters dirty by making them puppets. It just completely went on a hyperbole in the last act to throw every last shred of survival/parental instinct away, hence I could no longer relate to the characters after that. I would have sided by the same outcome but there needed to be a fleck of realism in how they responded to actual danger standing in their face once Bjorn knew what was about to happen. There were a few story decisions that didn't make sense just going by what a natural (not american) response to such threat would be. Having said that, I believe it was a great film and achieved what it went out to get perfectly, so it stands between 3.5- 4/5 stars for me.

I really enjoyed this movie overall, I thought James McAvoy was phenomenal, I'd even go as far as to say his performance was beyond Jack Nicholson's performance in The Shining. I thought that what they did brilliantly was ...as humans, we disobey our red flag instants because we don't want to come across as being rude, and the couple visiting them were so guilty of that with James McAvoy knowing this occurrence & toying with it brilliantly. James McAvoy delivered one of the best on screen performances I've seen in ages & I just hope he gets an Oscar nomination for his efforts.

[@robertofernandez3894]

Is James McAvoy playing in the same way he played in Split??

[@DNSxDK]

For me the original hits harder on the creepy feeling, it’s more suttle where this one felt like they did a lot more to explain the different nuances of the conversations.. The entire premise of the movie with not speaking up to keep the peace is very much a scandinavian trait - and I’m danish, so maybe that’s why the first hit a bit harder with a danish couple 😅 I enjoyed the remake a lot and what they did different, I would have hated if they just copied everything. Also I loved all the nods to the danish version. So not at all a bad remake.. Definitely recommend 😊

[@crowevil4658]

The original was golden. The trailer was a spoiler in itself. A spoiler free review is superfluous - unless they added something that meaningfully adds something to the narrative. I’m waiting for VOD. Edit: Americans are dandelions. The original is a masterpiece. They botched the ending of the remake by making it… I’ll say different. But the remake film ultimately loses its steam.
