Speak No Evil

What to Know

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.

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. Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Kristy Puchko Mashable If you've never savored the blood and bite of a steak, this processed remake will probably serve just fine. Sep 19, 2024 Full Review 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 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Maxance Vincent Film Speak The ending ultimately costs the slow tension Watkins was effectively portraying by staying true to the original as possible…until this cardinal deviation, rendering this remake entirely devoid of meaning. Rated: C- Jul 14, 2025 Full Review Will Bjarnar 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 Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Maitland McDonagh MaitlandOnMovies (Substack) [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.' Jan 20, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Loved it Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review Jonathan Solid movie! Kept me on the edge of my seat and couldn’t predict where it was going to go. My girlfriend’s hands stayed sweaty the whole time lol. A good all around movie with good acting and plot. Go see this one! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Patricia S It was pretty cool. I like the acting and I like to suspense. I think the climax was missed or maybe prolong too much. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
