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

No spoilers, but the fact that these people are pushed to be more than what they think they are is the saving grace of this ridiculous, audience-manipulating silliness.

One of us loved the ending, the other less so - but the film, overall, is strong and powered by great performances and a a real sense of dread.

Speak No Evil is a drama of unease that eventually must become a rural horror. For the first 90 minutes or so it is very good and, when the shotguns and the pitchforks do come out in the final reel, it is at least absurdly watchable.

Rated: 3.5/5

Personally, I thought this was a very good movie. It was quite suspenseful right up to the ending, which was great. James McAvoy does an amazing job with his character in this movie. The rest of the actors are very good as well. I would definitely see it again.

The movie starts out really slow but eventually gets better. The show is saved by the superb acting of McAvoy. I

This movie isn't getting enough hype. It was so much better than I expected. It had my heart racing like crazy with anticipation, not knowing and gearing what was going to happen next. A great movie.
