Speak No Evil is like an experiment. One in which you may believe that those involved may be too naive and yet when the situation arises, would you act differently? Doubtful.

Sometimes the unpleasantness of a situation is more convenient than being firm enough to interrupt it.

Of course, it's extremely difficult for anyone to find themselves in a situation like the one that unfolds here, but as it progresses you'll realize that what this film proposes is, to what extent will you let others cross your boundaries for the sake of maintaining civility? And above all, when will your gut tell you it's too late?

I was really looking forward to seeing this and I was not disappointed. I admit that there are things I didn't like, especially certain attitudes of the main characters, and I don't question that there are some points where the plot crosses certain thresholds that question its plausibility, but they are necessary for the plot to move forward.
They don't undermine the concept or what is being built, but let's just say they do become a bit exasperating.

In general, however, the construction of suspense is effective and that's the best weapon of this story, because here there is no gore or cheap scares, Speak No Evil bases its intricacies in human psychology, especially the one that tells you that maybe you are looking at true evil, but the rules of cordiality prevent you from doing anything about it.

The crude and ruthless ending makes you wonder: "How did we get into this situation?". But, as I said, by the time you get to ask yourself that question, for some of the people involved it's already too late and that makes it even more bleak.

Can't believe I saw two good horror films in a day.… Expand

With a tense soundtrack and great cast "Speak No Evil" can keep you anesthetized in thoughts before and after its end. No doubt that it is one of the most brilliant movies of 2022.

This was a breath of fresh air when it come to recent horror films. At certain points logic was dismissed for the sake of the plot, but overall a good film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Una historia que da mal rollo desde el principio, siempre tienes la sensación de que todo se va a ir al demonio pero no sabes cuando ni como hasta los momentos finales, los cuales culminan de forma triste, sádica y aterradora. PD: La primera vez que intentan irse de la casa NO DEBIERON DEVOLVERSE; el gesto de bondad del padre les costó carísimo.… Expand
