The original was a hardcore rant on Scandinavian politeness and passivity. I am going to watch this remake, but I am a bit unsure how those aspects will translate. For one thing, Americans aren't afraid to say "fuck no" if necessary.

[@dusthymn8187]

I feel like thats the point of this remake, a lot of people think this is blumhouses cash grab idea of taking an international film and turning it into english but since most of the original is already in english i think this is going to say different things both in theme and tone.

[@Zoofa188_Qe]

​@@dusthymn8187a huge factor in the original was the fact that the two couples didn't always understand eachother. Making a completely English remake makes no sense. They should've made the antagonists Irish so they could both speak English and Gaelic or something

[@ThePrimordialChronicles]

Yeah… and that’s why I don’t feel like this can work at all. Making this into a family fighting off a bunch of crazed fucks reeks of the absolutely worst tendencies of Holywood to make everything a semi-action flick in the 3rd act. I really hope they won’t get the idea to remake “When Evil Lurks” now… because there is no way they wouldn’t fuck it up.

They saw an opportunity to a movie with a HORRIBLE ending, and made it perfect. Best remake of a movie I think I've ever seen!

[@tychakra]

I found both the original and the remake enjoyable for different reasons. The original film is more rooted in reality, making it possible to somewhat understand the passive father's decisions and to consider when one might leave if faced with the same situation. In the remake, James McAvoy delivers an absolutely terrifying performance, and Aisling Franciosi is also convincing, she was awesome in the movie Stopmotion earlier this year.

[@livelongandtroll9108]

If a band makes a cover, do you want a carbon copy of the original, or do you want a different take? I watched it blind, without seeing the trailer or the original. On its own terms, it is a great movie. I was uncomfortable the entire time James McAvoy was on screen, and judging by the reactions of people in my screening, I wasn't alone. It is two hours of Alfred Hitchcock's famous bomb analogy. I watched the original later. I wouldn't call the remake "cleansed." Sure, the original has a bleaker ending, but to me, the remake is tenser because the couple finds out the host's intentions earlier, and James McAvoy was terrifying as the main antagonist. Watch it without expecting to see the same movie, and you will like it.

Matt Reeves Let the Right One In was a damn near shot for shot remake. Uninspired, unoriginal and unnecessary. If he were to make it his own, fine I guess. But it was literally shot for shot so much of the way through. Thats a remake that I like but the original was SO much better and unique.

[@phillyvoodoo]

I Loved Let The Right One In and the remake was completely unnecessary..... The backwards car crash scene in Let Me In was the only great original shot from the remake

[@oceaninks]

@@phillyvoodoo agreed. :)

[@benbradbury1044]

​@@phillyvoodoo The step on the loud children's toy near the end was an improvised shot suggested by Kodi Smit -McPhee, which I think was original and interesting, and added to the tension in the scene. Matt Reeves and Kodi talked about some minor stuff like this at the TIFF premiere, which I attended. And I think removing the scene with the cats allowed for slightly better pacing. But yes, I agree the original is better. Keeping the book scene with the zombie corpse creature from the book I think would have fit well into the remake, added to the grossout horror factor, and solidified it as both original and on-par with the first film adaptation. I prefer the original, I think largely because I find it easier to relate to and enjoy characters played by actors that are less known/ completely unknown. Once an actor cements themselves in a role, it takes a lot of work to reinvent themself outside of it. Kodi I knew from The Road and Chloe from Kick-Ass (which admittedly came out only months before Let Me In), so I had a hard time believing them as these characters, who I'd only previously known as their Swedish counterparts. The original, though, suffers from arguably worse cinematography, pacing, and acting, so I think the remake, while worse, is forgivable. I would say the best Americanized remake, IMO, is The Departed, and the vast majority fall short in the broad sense.

[@phillyvoodoo]

@@benbradbury1044 I agree with everything except the pacing of the original...... I believe it adds to the weirdness of being both strange and unsettling being realistic Sci-fi and the implementation of the age gap of the vamp and human, The sexual ambiguity of the vamp and the sense of other just from being a foreign language film...... The pacing absolutely works for me...... Especially since I had seen Come And See not long before......

Lol what? Blumhouse has more than one. Whiplash? That's a Blumhouse movie

I have a cousin who also likes to speak on topics he knows very little about. You'll get along with him perfectly!

[@scotchmaple]

This like "Let the Righ One In" remake was a complete cash grab, the Danish one was perfect as is. Blumhouse is a joke now

[@dbgreene9020]

The original stayed with me for weeks after i saw it. I had almost no information going into the original and was left feeling a sense of dread and hopelessness ive only ever felt watching one other movie...Dancer in the Dark with Bjork. I was nervous this remake was goint to be compeltely Americanized so im happy to hear it wasn't. Knowing what i already know about the story i think I will check it out!!! ❤

[@Wheretheportlandorarealadiesat]

The scooter guy facial feature are just funny and cute has that look that you think maybe he needs glasses my nephew Theo has that look sometimes

Ant sez "Hey Paddy wanna be soem hamburger face ??!" Paddy "AAAAAHHHHH!!!" 😈😈😈

[@vipnetworker]

I saw the American version last night. It was dark and disturbing enough for me, actually too much for me. I definitely don’t want to see a more dark, more disturbing version. The acting/writing was done well, I just don’t want to explore how evil people can be. This was soul crushing.

[@JohnCamacho]

Speak No Evil (2022) = Alien Speak No Evil (2024) = Aliens

[@davonbenson4361]

At, 4:21, the original was forced, because the father didn’t let his family know about the things that he discovered. The extreme dumbing down of the characters makes it hard to feel sorry for them.

[@edwardlazell3157]

Good concepts that deserve a remake to improve on all previous versions: The Stepford Wives

[@mfavier7]

Still supporting Betterhelp? This should be beneath you, Chris

[@raymontyoungblood4453]

The husband's actions REALLY took me out of the film. I hated him, and I don't think a true protector of his family would be so cowardly smh

[@patrict527]

Chris, can you please do better research into the sponsors you pick? It’s been known for quite a long time that better help is predatory.

[@ItachiUchiha-bj1xr]

Stop promoting better help..its a scam..all you need to do is read thier terms and conditions

[@JusticeInGaming_JIG]

When i look at Mcavoy in the trailer of this movie, i see a lot of SPLIT vibes from his acting. :)

[@jltplease]

At first I thought Chris is gaslighting us to think that stupid character mistakes to look polite was normal, but then I thought of the time I was on the street alone at night, two chinese native women asked me to get in their big black suv and help them find whole foods in around Santa Monica. I said yes and went inside. Their driver was a big grumpy chinese man. I then got a sack pulled over my head and have been perofrming in Shanghai night clubs ever since. Jk. We got to whole foods, I got out of the suv, they thanked me and then I left. I made it out ok, but thought when I was in the suv "why did I agree to doing this?!?!?"

[@giffordc19]

I really enjoyed the first two acts of the remake. I had a real hard time though with the final act because of the massive changes. It felt like a safe choice rather than a risk like the original. James McAvoy was really great though. No surprise there. To be fair, I might need to revisit the remake. The audience I saw it with was atrocious. I can't say that I was as invested as I wish I could have been if people had any decency and knew how to shut up.

[@orlandowilliams1395]

I watched the original when they first announced this was getting made. After the first one I told myself I wasn’t gonna watch the remake because the ending fucked me up lol. I can’t resist though 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

[@scrambled5948]

The second most pointless remake behind the upcoming Another Round remake

[@jordibarguno]

I saw the original by mistake and it was the most frustrating thing in the world, more than scary it was just frustrating and upsetting. I honestly cant relate with such dumb people. Straight off the bat if my wife was vegetarian and some dude force feeds her beef, the night is over. What the fuck?!?!?! I guess you haveto leave all logic, rational, common sense at the door to enjoy. By the way the original is basically entirely in English, very few subtitles. As much as I like James McAvoy, this is a hard pass.

[@insidiousfactory]

I think part of what makes the original cool is the setting, which is changed here.

[@morganlondon06]

Beautiful Video! It took me back to how I felt when I subbed to you!

[@bee9895]

Blumhouse is big on advertising the movies they make but are not good when you watch them 😠

[@bokchoy9294]

Please listen to the commenters and stop the BetterHelp sponsorships. Vulnerable people being connected with people who are not mental health professionals, but advertised as them, is deeply concerning.

[@sjlittler70]

Saw this last night and I absolutely loved it. Spot on review… If you watch this and keep thinking 'I would just leave now!' It’s because you are thinking of it as you, an audience member, who knows it’s a horror thriller and you know it’ll escalate and it will end in unimaginable terror for you and your family. But the characters don’t know that. Every bad choice they make is just asking a little more of them than the last bad choice until it’s too late. There’s a great moment when it has escalated and Mcavoy's character is asked why he’s doing this… ‘Because you let me' is his reply. A cautionary tale of being too polite or afraid of an awkward moment to follow your instincts.

[@Enigmaenick]

The whole idea of "being nice is bad" makes an overall worse world. Like how many times do we need to hear "stranger danger". How much more divided do we need to make society? How much more individualistic do we need to turn people? I hate this remake, and I hate that the original was even made.

[@ne0nZchr0me]

Better help is like politicians telling the individual they need government directly involved in their life

[@RumRomeo-mu2up]

McAvoy looks like Wolverine in the thumbnail.

[@annalucy89]

I haven't seen the movie but I've seen the Danish original and I just know that this one is going to have that typical "American happy ending" in complete contrast to the original. Europeans simply make more grim and realistic movies, and especially the endings often being so dark and bleak but at the same time a more accurate depiction of what would actually happen in a real life situation and not a "hero or whoever saves the day", and us Europeans are completely fine with it. While Americans cannot deal with reality driven endings and just want our protagonists to step up and win at the end, even if it's not remotely realistic, so that's definitely what I'm expecting going into this Hollywood made remake. But that is why I always praise American productions that have bleak and grim endings to their movies instead of the same old crowd pleasers.

[@dizzyrocket8]

Don’t use Better Help, great review Chris, keep up the good work. Had my eye on this movie and you confirmed for me it’s exactly what I like in the horror genre.

[@yourbestfriendjoshua]

I was surprised that the film veered so far off from the original in the final act. I prefer the original ending, but I definitely understand why changes were made for an American audience and on the whole came out of the theater MUCH more impressed than I anticipated…

[@mmclaurin8035]

I see Scoot and Mackenzie together and all I can think of is why are Gordon and Cameron married now?

[@jntnprrs2978]

Such a watered-down, dumbed-down remake that completely misses the point of the original Danish movie. Replaces sharp satire and actually unnerving atmosphere with cheap thrills and is too scared to go all in with the ending that made the original Speak No Evil so devastatingly haunting. Exactly what you could expect from a Blumhouse production.

[@Migzter05]

The original is one of the most disturbing movies I have seen during the pandemic. Curious to see this one just because of James McAvoy.

[@altdoom]

You better help yourself to a new sponsor.

[@MattHolman-w6p]

With this review, stuckmanns transformation into a corporate shill is truly complete. Years ago he never would have supported a pointless remake, oh how the times have changed.

[@IHamilton9320]

Tell me you didn’t make it 6 and a half minutes in without telling me. He explains the difference here.

[@thefirstbourne149]

He always supported the idea of any movie even when he was TIRED of them. This isn’t new for him to actually give remakes credit.

[@kevinriley2261]

Good review. Thank you for not swearing.
