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."

Audience Says

McAvoy brings killer psycho vibes to Speak No Evil, a solid remake that utterly entertains.

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

InSession Film

Neither Speak No Evils come all that close to the pinnacle, but the disadvantage that Speak No Evil (‘24) handed itself on a silver platter is that it is working in direct debate, not conversation, with its source material.

Rated: C

[T]aut, well-acted suspense film that plays on our fear of impoliteness, of social faux pas. ... If [it] has a moral, it would be this evergreen: Keep your wits about you and remember ... 'Smiling faces show no traces / Of the evil that lurks within.'

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

It was pretty cool. I like the acting and I like to suspense. I think the climax was missed or maybe prolong too much.

Boring attempt at suspense that needs you to accept the main players have mental impairments to make them do the dumb things they do. And that, well that just ruins the experience.
