Speak No Evil

I watched the original Speak No Evil on Shudder last year, to call that film a uniuque experience would be an understatement. I went to the cinema to watch the 'American' remake and I was pleasantly surprised. I was pleasantly surprised because they took the winning formula of the original version and took some of their own turns with it. James McEvoy makes a great antagonist as we have seen in the past, great performance. If you have watched this film and enjoyed it, I would strongly advise watching the original. It is much the same in how it plays out from the outset, but is a lot more grounded, realistic and gritty, also the ending of the original is better from a horror perspective.

McAvoy is excellent and the acting generally is good, so that's something. However, there is absolutely no point to this film. It's essentially a shot for shot remake of the infinitely superior original until - and this really is quite important - the ending. The ending of the original was a truly shocking and horrific conclusion to the creeping sense of dread and increasing unease that had become almost unbearable to watch by that point. The ending here is much more of a standard run of the mill Hollywood horror / thriller, which I'm sure will probably mean that people love it. As far as I'm concerned, the original is an absolute masterpiece and this remake misses the point entirely by ending the film in this way.

Evening All, this week I'm covering uncompromising Danish horrorSpeakNoEvil(2022). I was not prepared for how deeply effective this film would be, nor for how relevant it would be to the atrocities discussed on Twitter this week. Watch it before Thursday, but be warned.
