Critics Consensus

Harnessing sick suspense from the glimmer in James McAvoy's eye, Speak No Evil is the rare remake that hushes up concerns of "been there, done that."

Mark Kermode

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

As a fan of the original, I really think this did it justice and added a new twist and made its own film.

If you've never savored the blood and bite of a steak, this processed remake will probably serve just fine.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

Speak No Evil eventually goes full-on with the familiar horror movie blood-spattering, but the social satire in that well-executed build-up is the real strength of the film.

Rated: 3/4

Terry Staunton

Radio Times

Mackenzie Davis and Scoot McNairy are almost as impressive in roles that require considerably more subtlety, although each member of the small ensemble cast is a significant component to a genuinely unsettling film.

Rated: 4/5

Mini Anthikad-Chhibber

The Hindu

A rare psychological horror film that quietly chills to the bone without too much gore or creep chords, while cleverly relying on the implied and imagination to effectively do the heavy lifting

Speak No Evil is no better or worse than any other American thriller where the hardest future the characters face is therapy.

Rated: 1.5/5

James McAvoy was fantastic, but there were a few parts of the movie that could have moved along a little faster. You can basically see the end coming, but it still has some good action and suspense.

Movie was great. Only real complaint is that the suspense part was rather short. The movie took a lot of time developing characters. Would definitely watch again though.

Story development too long by the time you get to the action the movie is over. Not worth it.
