Comes to theaters September 13th.

Watch the original.

I didn't care for the original. This does not look like a good remake either. I do like McAvoy however but doubtful I will see it.

I mean, this is probably worth a watch for McAvoy alone.

I didn't care for the original either. Probably will pass on this.

I didn’t mind the original. Certainly nothing I needed to own, but a decent freebie from the library, and I’d be curious to see if the American version has the balls to keep the original ending. Somehow I doubt it, but I’ll find out when it becomes another freebie from the library.

I thought this looked pretty bad based on the trailer personally.

Out this week. Reviews: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/speak_no_evil_2024

Finally! I will never have to watch another preview for this!

Early buzz on this is that objectively this movie is, well, bad. But, McAvoy gives such a power house performance you can be somewhat forgiving of its short comings. It apparently leans heavily into the realm of stupid protagonists doing stupid things.

Yes as it was in the original. I was flabbergasted by some of the stupidity in it.

Yep. I get it was supposed to be a satire of sorts but it's really hard to take seriously when people act so catastrophically stupid.

This was meh. James really chews it up, like a version of The Beast in Split. Never saw the original so can't compare but you got most of the movie in the trailer.

The trailer for this has been stalking me at the cinema for over a month. It looks really bad. Blumhouse is such a shit production company. A24 and NEON are 2 companies that have built enough credit with me that I will see movies that look only so-so like that Brandy Horror flick A24 put out. Whereas seeing the Blumhouse logo before a trailer usually puts a bad taste in my mouth.

I read this also has the "Hollywood" ending unlike the original.

Thanks... that's what I figured. I have seen the trailer before the last couple of movies in the theater.

I saw this yesterday. I finally got to see the parts of the trailer in the full movie!
I had seen the original and I was expecting it to be bad but I thought it was okay. The acting was good and it held my interest.
I kind of went in wanting to hate it but it was okay.

mild spoiler talk with comparison to the original:

Caught this today mostly due to the positive reviews on rottentomatoes, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it might prove and since I was using a moviepass type program for the chain in my area, it didn't cost me anything extra. McAvoy was definitely the MVP and did a great job. Don't know what kind of workout regimen he does, but he manages to be built like brick house without looking too muscular that steroids are suspected. In terms of the movie itself, I found it quite suspenseful and entertaining, but at times the American family, especially McNary's dad character, came across as so freaking stupid that I felt like helping the bad guys to end their annoying presence. That's a shame because I've seen McNary in other stuff and he's quite good. He didn't deserve to be saddled with such a poorly written character. Davis is okay, but I've never found her characters as particularly likeable either. In terms of the ending




I don't think this lends itself very well to a sequel, but with a few story tweaks, they could easily take elements of the original use it as a prequel. I wouldn't mind seeing more of a backstory to the antagonists, as it seems pretty rich.

Went against my instincts and caught a late screening of this last night.

Having an Regal Unlimited Plus Pass makes you do silly things

I was barely on-board for Director Christian Tafdrup's 2022 film (which Director James Watkins' film is a remake of) and many of my feelings are replicated here.

While the James Watkin's (Eden Lake) direction is solid and James McAvoy's performance fantastic, the film is still chock full of un-likeable characters in hilariously stupid situations.

Quite honestly, this was probably the only thing I vaguely enjoyed about the original film.

The trailers for this film pretty much spoiled any chance of people not figuring out what was happening on their own. I think I may have enjoyed it more if I hadn't seen them, but it's been pretty much impossible to attend a movie over the past two months and not see them. Hell, the only real reason I was glad this movie finally got released was because it meant I could finally stop seeing the trailer play before other movies.

I guess I was the only one who really loved this. Swinging from intense relationship drama to awkward guys' trip was a pretty fun ride and I loved how it tackles that bullshit Alpha Male nonsense and how that can be alluring for some people who should know better.

I completely disagree anyone acted stupidly: they're some white collar city dwellers who are just generally off-put by MacAvoy & co. Only we understand they're in a horror movie. They just think they're dealing with some uncouth folk. Once they actually do realize the danger, they make their best efforts to save themselves and the boy

I've been keeping track of the trailers that play before each movie, and according to my database, I've been seeing the Speak No Evil ads since going to Abigail in April.

Sadly, this was the only new movie worth going to see this week with Unlimited.

This will be on Peacock starting on Friday.
