Kevin says Speak No Evil kinda sucks!
Hollywood’s remake for this week offers a new presentation of a Danish thriller from two years ago.
SPEAK NO EVIL follows an American family who befriend a couple while on vacation in Italy. Weeks later, they accept an invitation to visit the couple at their out-of-the-way farmhouse. However, warning signs begin to mount, and the family realizes they might never escape.
The film is competently made with a healthy dose of suspense and atmosphere. And acting from James McAvoy as one of the antagonists is unsettling and nuanced.
However, this family in danger comprises some of the most insufferable and clueless people imaginable. I mean, it’s like a whole family of Skylars from BREAKING BAD.
Even if the trailers weren’t so loaded with spoilers that you could walk in on the third act and still be able to predict what will happen next, the action retreads so many other similar films that it just feels stale.
I love a good thriller, and there is one hiding in this movie. But to fully enjoy it, you kind of have to have never seen a movie like it before.
SPEAK NO EVIL gets two creepy couples out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
