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."

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

Film Stories

Speak No Evil is in no way a bad film, but it is another example of diluting a narrative to unnecessarily coddle your audience.

Rated: 3/5

I would recommend seeing the superior and more disturbing Danish version rather than this Hollywood-like version.

This was a good movie I really liked it a lot and I felt like the story was really really good but I do think it was a little predictable. That doesn’t take away how great this movie was and how good the story was either.

There is satisfaction at the movie which you’ll find out once you watch it, it’s not scary. It’s suspenseful and quite f’d up when you find a pivotal scene of why the boy can’t speak

Really mediocre movie. McAvoy tries way too hard, and there are so many unbelievable plot points it’s hard to not be annoyed watching it.
