Why it’s HorroRated
Speak No Evil is one of the most unsettling horror films of recent years because it locates its horror in completely recognizable social behavior: the inability to name what's wrong before it's too late, the politeness that overrides self-preservation. James McAvoy is extraordinary and the remake improves on the Danish original in its final act. Don't sleep on this one.
Synopsis
James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis anchor a remake that generates its horror from social obligation and the difficulty of naming what's wrong with a situation before it's too late. The horror lives in recognizable behavior: the politeness that overrides self-preservation. Don't sleep on this one.
