Mark Kermode reviews Speak No Evil - Kermode and Mayo's Take

#MarkKermode #SimonMayo #FilmReviews

A family is invited to spend a weekend in an idyllic country house, unaware that their dream vacation will soon become a psychological nightmare.

Glad this has finally been released — if only so I no longer have to endure the trailer every time I go to the cinema.

[Breadcups]

McAvoy is rightfully praised for his performance, but honestly the whole cast nailed it.

[ethanradd]

McAvoy is a grossly underrated actor and should be considered among the best of his peers.

[Wha]

Great thriller, all of the actors absolutely nailed their parts. Go with friends you will have a blast

[davidhuggan]

Great review, I really enjoyed it too. It did something to me that rarely happens, in that I felt nervous, and tense for the characters, which means they did a good job of getting me to care about them. I thought it was well shot, and well edited too.

Saw it the other night, amazing film, really enjoyed it 👍🏻

[joelnicholson]

Ah, yes - the belated sequel to Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor's classic madcap comedy "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" ...

[EM-lzkg]

Really felt the acting was compelling and the social interaction so well observed.

Great review Mark, totally agree; I found it a genuinely disturbing film (in a good way!) from start to finish, and McAvoy’s performance was superb. Very keen to see the original now!

[robrob]

Went to see this on your recommendation.Good solid entertainment

[crispybits]

I thought the original was great, yet I never want to watch it again, and I say this as someone who watches lots of horror. It's a very grim journey, with some really detestable characters. I will probably watch this remake at some stage.

The boy was very good. Reminded me of a young river phoenix

[gremlin]

Watched it earlier n im still creeped out by James Mcavoy performance.This movie is also a top end 15 certificate with gut wrenching tension.The best horror thriller iv seen all year.

[Carnivalihq]

One of my favourite films of 2024. Gripping and suspenseful.

[chaoticprogress]

Totally agree with his review. Very enjoyable and great film. Was also some very genuinely funny moments, which you don't see pulled off too well, too often, in a film of this tone.

[thehitherto]

The original is one of the most "Scandinavian problems" films ever made, so I'm curious how they handle this with new protagonists. Americans aren't exactly known for being afraid to say "Hell no!" if things go too far.

[BelleHamill]

The 2010 Mark Kermode (Let Me In) would like to have a word with you Mark...

[michaelclark]

That's a relief then, as I was a big fan of the original and I was apprehensive about this remake! 👍

[seancorrigan]

No need to remake it but some great talent invovled. James Watkins has done some interesting stuff over the years.

[Neil]

James McAvoy is such an underrated actor in my opinion, Just saw this it’s really good!
