If you like your horror films bleak and hopeless and dark, thats awesome! If you like your horror movies to be lighter, action oriented, whatever, thats also awesome! Horror should be accessible, with something for everyone in every flavor, and we should be excited when movies register with others, even if we prefer different versions or different types of horror. Horror is for everyone and the more people get into it, the more horror we can get.
@@davebellivich703 What I said was, you should let people like what they like and when horror movies get love and attention it's good for horror as a whole. Was that easier to understand?
Yes, but if you make a movie like this, starting from the concept of the original one and fucdup all the depth with the happy ending, than I M extremely disappointed. Your arguments is extremely valid and right, but not for this kind of movie. They literally joked with my expectation, everyone laughs and clapped inside the theater except me and few others, that watched the movie like me and hope to see people struggling with the raw reality from Tafdrup movie. I hate that sensation with all my skin. It's not fair, for me, the other people and Tafdrup values
The 2022 ending was disturbing in a way that left me feeling sad, hopeless and just sick of humanity. I'm happy to hear this one is different because I dont wanna go through that again.
Yeah I would like a newer version which shows the family fight back instead of ignoring all the red flags. I watched original last night and it was a disturbing, depressing ending. It definitely gives you food for thought about boundaries and not being so polite.
@@anitaknight3915 Yes, I agree. I just watched the Danish version last night as well. Very disturbing and at times frustrating. It kinda reminded me of Funny Games where the couple who gets terrorized are just passive and weak. They didn't fight back. Same in this movie. Even the ending they didn't even run away from what was thrown at them. I'm trying NOT to give spoilers but you know what scene I am talking about. I was like really? You just gonna stand there and take the hits?🙄
Instead of going back to the house for a fucking bunny rabbit, they could have just rerwrote that scene with the little girl having an asthma attack and leaving her inhaler. It would lessen the stupidity of that decision all while still maintaing dread, tension and still explores thesame themes
@@anitaknight3915 Yes and so effective when every time the rock hit the body a bruise instantly appears without seeing any obvious editing. I'm still trying to figure out how they did that effect!
@@blaqpirate Me too!!!! I just watched it last night and was in awe like how'd they make that look so realistic? I knew they'd be killed at the end but did not expect that with the stoning!! I kept asking my mom lol wtf is that rocks thrown at them??! Now that was unique. Foreign horror pushes the envelope with disturbing shocking violence. They do things American films won't with writing, animals, children, and bleak depressing endings. That shocked me. Those marks on the skin looked realistic.
@@anitaknight3915 Yes!! I flinched when the stones her her face! They didn't have any protection because they had to strip down. Also did you notice that was the same ravine the guy took him to as the quiet getaway place where they both were yelling at earlier in the movie?
@@blaqpirate yessss!!!! My mom reminded me of that when they were walking that was the door they stood next to earlier in the movie. My gut instincts went offf when you'd hear the boy crying in background and the guy walked into the room with the luggage, photos, and cameras.i was like ommmggg moment I saw the suitcases these people do this to other foreigner families!!!! I was thinking get the helllll out of there. Those rocks were unbelievable and cruel. I was thinking too they prey on families with one child so that they can "swap" kids after getting rid of the parents and "tongue" to prevent child from speaking. The stoning was Uber depressing and sinister yet also impressive due to special effects. I prefer endings where the victims survive and fight back so that ending was shocking. I was horrified for the daughters character.
When I walked out of my screening yesterday I went, “This is the best Blumhouse production since Totally Killer!” That movie released almost a year ago but it’s something I suppose.
I'm a huge fan of the Danish version, but I can definitely understand people prefering the remake as it seems to at least give some sort of catharsis. I've heard rumors the original director is pals with Lars von Trier, which doesn't surprise me considering von Trier's brilliant quote: "A film should be like a rock in the shoe."
Dude that intro!! Blumhouse finally got good movie with this year. Lol I just got out of the theater and it was the most stressful movie I’ve seen in theaters in awhile. I was laughing and squirming lol So good. One of my favorites of the year and I haven’t seen the original….
Random, but bringing up ‘The Thing’ really reminds me of a couple reasons why you’re so good at this: Nuance and range. Your favorite horror villain is different than your favorite horror franchise, neither of which have anything to do with your favorite horror movie.
I thought the original was one of the best films that came out that year, so it's great to hear that the remake isn't some dumb and pointless cash grab. It seems like it's getting decent reviews.
Fully agree. The changes they made in the script helpt make certain situations more relatable and slightly more understandable. I do wonder if it also comes down to cultural differences between Danish/Dutch and Americans/English.
After seeing him in this & split. Have James play Freddy Kruegger. With him being Scottish though. Change his last name to MacKrueger & have him wear a red & greeen̈ kilt
Tbh, the casting in the original made more sense. The evil husband wasn't any bigger than the male victim. It really sold the idea where the male victim wasn't overpowered. James being a stacked beast kind of beats the "you let us." Narrative.
Marvel should bring back James McAvoy as Professor X in the mcu X-Men movies alongside Michael Fassbenders Magneto I loved them in the prequel X-Men films
I know I'll probably get roasted for saying this and maybe I'm just a naive English speaker but I enjoyed the remake so much more than the original. I will never rewatch the original but this version I found it so entertaining and definitely want to see it again. James McAvoy is incredible in this film! He's so charismatic, charming but terrifying at the same time. I couldn't take my eyes off him while he was on screen.
@@paulcarpenter7844 I don't disagree. Meyers would probably be one of the easier ones for him to handle. But it would still make an interesting video/tier list. Cody could give his thoughts on how Dexter would do against other movie serial killers like Jason, Leatherface, Ghostface etc.
Glad to see your review. I skipped all the way to the end just to see if it was something you recommended viewing. I will definitely view it and then come back. I watched the first one based on your recommendation and it was amazing. I went in blind and it took me through so many different emotions. I literally was thinking seeing a remake would be a waste of time but I do love James McAvoy. I'm going to see it this week and I'll come back to your review.
My girlfriend got me into the Unbreakable universe, and when I saw James McAvoys performance in Split, I was sold on him. So when I saw this trailer In theaters, I knew I was going to see it regardless, just because of him. Can’t wait to take her to see this!
Reviews like this makes me so happy with my decision not to watch trailers anymore. Sony and Blumhouse is beyond terrible when it comes to marketing. I am now very excited to see this one
I don’t watch a bunch of trailers to no movie . I don’t need 3-5 trailers to determine if ima see something . It typically takes one trailer. This was a solid film for me one of the best movies this summer .
So I'm fine if people prefer the endings of horror films with the bad guy winning, but why do so many of those people just act like such gate keepers? Literally everytime I've seen someone angry about the new Speak No Evil having the good guys fight back and any of us happy about it, their first response is always "then don't watch horror movies". Like there are a 1000 different options in every genre of horror ma dudes. Let us have ours!! 🤣
Yeah some of the responses to this one have been ultra pretentious. People act like they are smarter or more edgy because they love the original. It’s a pretty miserable movie by design. It’s not gonna be everyone’s cup of tea…and that’s ok!
I haven't been to the theater in a long time so I was able to avoid the trailers altogether. I actually had a bit more faith in this one not just because James McAvoy was in it but because the director James Watkins, also directed a film called Eden Lake which was a brutal but very well written thriller. I recommend checking it out if you enjoyed this one.
I understand people who haven’t seen the original film will enjoy the remake ; but having seen the original first, this was just overdone Hollywoodized and unnecessary; the first 2/3rd’s is pretty much the same as the original but the final act is so different they could have made a new film based around this without using the Speak No Evil title ; I think they should have stuck with a bleak ending, maybe not as bleak as the original as mass audiences wouldn’t be able to cope
The original was so bleak and horribly tragic , idk if I can recover from that. I MIGHT check this out but that’s why I look for your reviews first !!!
Yes I just watched it last night. I've never scene in a film anything like that with "tongue" and "stoned" before. I'd imagine everyone being mad at parents for being overly polite spineless pushovers. My heart sank last act and when they went back. Should've left or never stayed with strangers to begin with!!!
Because of a particular horror film that was released in 2018 and it's marketing strategy, i no longer watch trailers of films i find myself interested in seeing. And funny enough, that aforementioned film was also produced by jason blum 🙄 so with that said, i went into this film with very low expectations and completely blind and boy am i happy I did. I found myself getting impatient by the first hour, but damn did patience pay off. I love this film. The protagonists, particularly the husband, pissed me off haha but MacKenzie absolutely killed it. And of course Mcavoy stole the show. His powerful performance and eccentricities and his presence kept me on the edge of my seat just waiting anxiously for the inevitable turn. What a film. Might be my favorite film of the year.
The end reminded me of "frailty". I left with such chills after watching this. It was such a stomach gripping awkwardly tense thriller. I looooooove the commentary. Set boundaries or die.
I’m new around here but I’ll be patiently hoping to see “La Horde” on the channel in some way. It’s in French but imo it’s one of the best zombie movies! Solid character development and kicks off pretty quickly.
Stephen Sherrard-Griffith Talks Movies At The Bar gave a very interesting reviews on this film. His take was interesting especially his view on certain film reviewers. I think he & Codey nailed it. It's a very good film, regardless of any existing 2022 version.
Just watched the orginal it was one of my favorite films in recent years very good but the reasons why you like this one more is exactly why I'ma wait for streaming
I disagree about the bunny rabbit. In the original (spoilers) the dad was praised and called a hero for going back for the bunny rabbit. It stroked his ego, and it’s implied that he doesn’t get to feel like that a lot. So him going back for the bunny wasn’t really for the daughter, it was for himself. Where’s in the remake, he doesn’t even find the bunny in the beginning. AND he wants his daughter to get rid of the bunny anyways so why would he care if they left it? HOWEVER the remake did do something interesting. When Agnes is crying for her bunny she says they’re going to hurt him like they hurt Ant. And then at the end when they’re trying to leave for the second time, he sees them hurt Ant and he immediately jumps out of the car and goes back. Kinda cool, idk
He didn't care about the bunny at all. Its just the fact that she started having an anxiety attack in the car which almost lead to an accident and them dying, he understood that they needed to get that damn plushie. His face said it all when he took the U turn.
Very good point on the original, it is an infuriating decision still but it makes sense coming from such a pathetic character who latches onto any form of validation.
Just saw Speak No Evil last night with my friend and we both loved it. It was such a good tense thriller. Both of us were on the edge of our seats almost the whole time. James McAvoy was perfect with his performance. 9/10 Btw Cody my friend and I were yelling at the screen about them going back for the rabbit.
Entered into this not expecting much but came out loving it, McAvoy's character is genuinely chilling and brilliantly acted. Agree that I would have preferred more of a gore fest towards the end, and a little more bleakness, but boy the atmosphere left behind by the final scenes was just incredible. Thumbs up from me.
From the trailer I definitely wanted to see this. ESP after watching Split and Glass numerous times. McAvoy is superb. He draws you into seeing the movie even if you don’t think u want to. This movie brought life to the 2022 version as I’ve never heard of it. I watched it after seeing this one and the main thing that sticks out to me and why I prefer the 2024 version are the actors. Every single one of them. Even though the scenes in the first half were very similar, they played out better in the new one and I appreciate the ending to the new one and its tone in comparison. I really enjoyed the boy actor in the new one a lot more
I remember staying away from trailers for THE CABIN IN THE WOODS and that was one of my best decisions I ever made!! But If you want to watch both of the movies I would suggest you watch the new one first. Because the conclusion will shadow the new one. I watched the first one before seeing the remake last night and i still cant get scenes from original out of my mind.......even fresh off watching the remake!
I’m happy this is getting good reviews and that there’s a character that realizes the red flags! Hopefully the ending will be more satisfying than the original for me.
Both movies are great. The original is just unmatched in my opinion, the whole “because you let me” scene is one of my favorite scenes of any horror movie.
I know I really enjoyed this one, Cody. James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis were great in this film. I thought the film did a great job in fleshing out the characters, especially the Daltons. I believe people will enjoy both version of the film.
Honestly the best movie I’ve seen in 10 years Walking into it blind, no trailers, no idea of an original. Loved how James Mcavoy changed to a West Country accent when he dropped the charade.
I think what made me enjoy the newer one more is they lean into the weirdness and atmosphere a lot more than the original. I think its great we have to versions that different people can enjoy.
Cody Leach you my friend is a american. This movie was not like the danish movie. The danish movie was shocking and make u feel bad. But this movie did nothing of that. This kind of movie have we seen 1000 times but the danish was like in you face! But I still like your channel (:
NGL, I love how you transition the synopsis of the movie into the sponsorship of the video. I may not have any desire to check out the movie, but I can’t say you’ve got a dullness as a reviewer and entertainer, Cody.
I just got out of the movie theater and I really enjoyed this movie, unlike the 2022. I understand the original one’s message, but I just can’t hope for characters that are soooo passive to win. At the end, I couldn’t care less for them. This version is so much more interesting, imo.
Ty for the review I didn't know this was a remake so minutes after I went and watched the original. So excited to watch this one James mcavoy is such a brilliant actor .
Yo this movie was awesome. So tense, darkly funny, and entertaining throughout. McAvoy is amazing and it’s is worth seeing for him alone. Best thriller of the year by far.
Another great video! I had your voice pop up in my head during the third act with horror tropes like splitting up. I cracked up laughing when they made a dumbass decision to escape out the high ass window with shady af roof and ladder, versus simply going out the front door. The movie surpasses the original due to execution. I almost skipped it due to its trailer that gave too much away and was overplayed. While there weren’t surprises, the acting was outstanding and tension kept me engaged. It’s definitely worth a watch!
i personally appreciated the original much more. i like a movie that sticks in my mind and makes me think. doesn't mean it's for everyone that's for sure. i knew from the first trailer America was going to water it down so i'm not surprised.
Usually I agree but the original infuriated me and not in a thought-provoking way. So while I acknowledge the difference in impact between the two films, I MUCH prefer the enjoyment factor of this one.
Yeah foreign horror films are known for pushing boundaries, showing violence, shocking, disturbing, and bleak depressing endings. I assumed they'd have to do the third act differently in the remake. You can appreciate the experience of both films for different reasons. I think original had cultural messaging of how political correctedness, people pleasing, ignoring instincts, and being overly polite.
@@CodyLeachYTI agree. That ending pissed me off so much. It wasn't even a message on politeness it was just plain stupidity. And what a horrid outcome. Left me angry and felt like it wasted my time. This movie sounds way more up my alley!!
@@CodyLeachYT The original wasn't supposed to be "enjoyable": it was supposed to be disturbing and it was. The remake was supposed to be "enjoyable" but it was just a hollow, generic horror film.
Watched it last night,loved it. James mcavoy is a great actor. Watched the original today. A hell of a lot more depressing. Glad I watched the newer version first.
Never knew that about trailers, learn something new every day. I told myself I'm not watching the trailer for Terrifier 3. I saw the teaser when he's dressed as Santa and that's all I'm watching
I'd just bought myself a ticket for this and The Killer's Game Monday, since some movies after working the weekend be a sweet way to relax. Plus, I normally sleep through Mondays because I hate Mondays. Fortunately, with being out to relax between them, Monday will certainly be... killer. 😏
I never saw the original but considering you liked this movie is enough to bring my interest to this movie cause I expected this movie to fail especially bc of the constant L’s Blumhouse has been getting this year. Wha I noticed so far with the reactions to this movie for the original critics liked the movie but audiences didn’t but for the remake it looks like both critics & audiences enjoy the movie.
Never seen the original but loved this movie. James McAvoy was perfect for this part, such an amazing actor and a fellow Scot. He should have won an oscar for Filth.
Just watched the movie!! SO GOOD! You’re so right James Mcavoy was beyond charming!! ❤ Lol the dad (2024) was incredibly goofy tho, I was crying laughing at his decisions! 😂
I have seen the original but the way you described the film and its meaning actually reminded me of a very weird experience I had on vacation a couple years ago. Long story short we were in a 3rd world country doing a small group tour and the tour stopped taking us to the pre designated locations. There were many excuses for this but it got weirder and weirder. My husband and I were immediately suspicious but no one else on the tour was. Those people were all solo travelers and we were shocked they were so naive to not be bothered by being driven into the middle of nowhere at night in a dangerous country. We eventually demanded the guide let us out of the car. I feel like the other tourists were tricked because the guide seemed to be nice and friendly and positive. It might have ended fine but we weren't about to find out the opposite direction
I was just thinking I wonder if this happens more than we'd like to think because people are more at risk being easily trusting in foreign countries with their defenses down while on vacation. It'd be easier to take ppl and make them go missing in a foreign country. That's insane to stay with strangers you just met on vacation like in the original.
Just saw the movie I personally enjoyed it !! Really enjoyed his role very different I feel like !! James mcavoy is very talented and great as an actor I kinda feel like he’s an underrated actor and under appreciated!! 8/10 for me 🙌🏽🔥!! Btw I like your terminator shirt !!
I just saw this. It was AMAZING!!!! I never saw the original but this one I can't say enough good about. James Macavoy ran away with ever scene he was in. This man can give you the creeps with just a look. Mackenzie Davis was great too. I'll be honest, I just didn't care at all for the husband. He was the week link in the cast.
Split, thank you. Yeah, I know I've heard the name, he looked familiar, but without Googling, didn't know from where. But let's see here. We had See No Evil with Kane several years ago, we have Speak No Evil here, just missing Hear No Evil and then it's Monkey Time. 😉😂🤣 But this does sound like one of the better Blumhouse movies, so maybe I'll see it. We shall see. Right now I'm stuck at home with no way of going anywhere, so yeah, would have to wait and see. But enjoyed your video. Thank you, Cody.
James MacAvoy is Scottish and Mackenzie Davis is Canadian. Neither are "American actors". Aisling Franciosi is Irish as well. The film was shot in Croatia and England.
I kinda wish they had just let James be Scottish, I think someone going psycho in a Scottish accent would be more intimidating 😂 and I say this as a Scottish person. I love the soundtrack in this movie, I really enjoyed the movie as a whole definitely going to rewatch it
By having the people survive the film defeats the entire theme of the movie. That's why the line "you let us" is so powerful. This movie is to horror what ketchup is to hot sauce
100%. I don’t WANT those things to happen obviously but them surviving made the whole thing feel kinda pointless. Just another mainstream American horror movie…
I dunno, cause based on what I hear, the "You let us" line would've left with me saying outloud "NO SHIT!" I believe the term is "Too bleak, don't care"
No way its better. They kind of missed the point, the original movie is dark satire about bout political correctness that is extreme in EU. So make it short - they rather get killed than daring to say no.
This guy also said abuse or violence towards children is a big no no for him on film, so it makes sense why he would like the American one more. They're the same film besides one having a less dark ending
The reason people liked the original is because it was a message. The remake destroyed it at the end. The end of the movie could of been a die hard movie or some thing stupid
I just watched the original Danish that third act threw me through a loop. I didn’t see that ending coming at any point of the film. Next week I’m seeing the blumhouse version next week.
Hi Cody, I'm so Glad you reviewed the New Speak No Evil, & I've seen other good & 1 spoiler review of it, so I really want to see it, as I know I also will like it Better than the bleak, upsetting 2022 film. RE the Orig. movie, I feel much like you did, as tho it was very well done & acted, the Danish/Good husband was So passive it was Maddening, & most of the movie was so Disturbing, I found it entertaining but didn't "enjoy" it, & I was truly Upset by its last 20 mins & tragic, sad ending.😥 The only movie I've seen in a Theater in last few yrs was Barbie w/a good friend, but she doesn't like Horror, so I may have to force myself to go see the new Speak No Evil alone.🤞
Great Review Cody and good comparison. I haven't seen the original but I did look it up and I was still happy with the film because it was written and Directed by James Watkins who directed films like my little eye which is sort of like a exploitation Big Brother style horror film and he did the Daniel Radcliffe starring woman in black film and a little British horror film called Eden Lake All of these films have one thing in common which is that they have very upsetting and very screwed up endings and I suppose after thinking about it for a long time he probably just thought I don't want to make another film with a depressing ending, but nevertheless I felt like with his previous work, the ending to this version still had some teeth. If you're not sold on the approach to the way this film was handled, go to see the film for James M'acovys performance, lets just say I was getting some Eden Lake levels of discomfort watching some of the scenes in this film. I also like the fact when I was watching it there wasn't as much music in this version as their would be in a standard Blumhouse production, it probably felt more timeless then most of the films they have done recently. If you want to see more films like this film but without the cleaned-up ending check out some of the other films from this director he's someone who deserves to keep making movies for how uncompromising he can be
I liked The original better. Original had better Pacing, structure, development of the characters. In the original they took their time with explaining plotpoints, but without losing the entire pacing. For mainstream moviegoers This ending might have been thrilling, but to me it was a little generic. Nothing that i haven’t seen before. McAvoy great as a psycho, that is no surprise cause we have seen that already in Split and Glass.
The remake's ending sparked mixed reactions, as it was a complete contrast to the original film's ending. The original film's director and writer, Christian Tafdrup, criticized the change, claiming that "I don’t know what it is about Americans, but they are brought up for a heroic tale, where the good must win over the bad, and this version of the film cultivates that.".....Enough said.

Seeing James McAvoy in Split has made me interested in this.
He was great in this film!
He did all the good stuff. I just didn't like the husband was a pussy the whole time

Instead of going back to the house for a fucking bunny rabbit, they could have just rerwrote that scene with the little girl having an asthma attack and leaving her inhaler. It would lessen the stupidity of that decision all while still maintaing dread, tension and still explores thesame themes
True!
Right I would have said fuck that rabbit. Or when he checked the trunk he could have told her it's in the trunk he will give it to her later.
Asthma trope is so boring and overdone.

I like the original, but that ending really pissed me off, which I guess was the intended purpose. The remakes ending I actually enjoyed.
Although blumhouse makes bad movies often it's good to see them make great ones!
Dude that intro!! Blumhouse finally got good movie with this year. Lol
I just got out of the theater and it was the most stressful movie I’ve seen in theaters in awhile. I was laughing and squirming lol
So good. One of my favorites of the year and I haven’t seen the original….
We were alone at a 10 am showing. I was literally pacing the last 10 minutes!😮
Scoot and Mackenzie were in the show Halt and Catch Fire together. They must like working together. Can’t wait to see this, I liked the original.
Like you said James McAvoy is way too underrated. He was perfectly casted for this role. Very excited to this.
Random, but bringing up ‘The Thing’ really reminds me of a couple reasons why you’re so good at this: Nuance and range.
Your favorite horror villain is different than your favorite horror franchise, neither of which have anything to do with your favorite horror movie.
The Thing is on everyones top horror list
I thought the original was one of the best films that came out that year, so it's great to hear that the remake isn't some dumb and pointless cash grab. It seems like it's getting decent reviews.
Fully agree. The changes they made in the script helpt make certain situations more relatable and slightly more understandable. I do wonder if it also comes down to cultural differences between Danish/Dutch and Americans/English.
I really thought it was going to be another blumhouse 💩 bomb but it was actually really enjoyable. James mcavoy is brilliant in this
After seeing him in this & split. Have James play Freddy Kruegger. With him being Scottish though. Change his last name to MacKrueger & have him wear a red & greeen̈ kilt
Tbh, the casting in the original made more sense. The evil husband wasn't any bigger than the male victim. It really sold the idea where the male victim wasn't overpowered. James being a stacked beast kind of beats the "you let us." Narrative.
He didn't use his masculinity to make them stay he used a gun and his wit and charm
Marvel should bring back James McAvoy as Professor X in the mcu X-Men movies alongside Michael Fassbenders Magneto I loved them in the prequel X-Men films
I love them too. But they should cast somebody new
I haven’t seen the original movie yet, but I’m going to see this one straight away on Sunday.
I've been waiting for this sense yesterday! So excited!
Be careful, Chucky is constantly staring at you!!
I haven't watched the original, so I knew nothing about the story. I watched this movie yesterday and I really enjoyed it. I give it an 8/10.
I know I'll probably get roasted for saying this and maybe I'm just a naive English speaker but I enjoyed the remake so much more than the original. I will never rewatch the original but this version I found it so entertaining and definitely want to see it again.
James McAvoy is incredible in this film! He's so charismatic, charming but terrifying at the same time. I couldn't take my eyes off him while he was on screen.
Video suggestion: How would Dexter fare vs movie serial killers. "Could Dexter defeat Michael Meyers?" etc.
Yes because he would sneak up on him and give him that shot and that's it and then all you have to do is put them in the Bay Harbor
@@paulcarpenter7844 I don't disagree. Meyers would probably be one of the easier ones for him to handle. But it would still make an interesting video/tier list. Cody could give his thoughts on how Dexter would do against other movie serial killers like Jason, Leatherface, Ghostface etc.
Both very good films.the original was brutal and the new version is less nasty but more entertaining.mcavoy kills it literally
Glad to see your review. I skipped all the way to the end just to see if it was something you recommended viewing. I will definitely view it and then come back. I watched the first one based on your recommendation and it was amazing. I went in blind and it took me through so many different emotions. I literally was thinking seeing a remake would be a waste of time but I do love James McAvoy. I'm going to see it this week and I'll come back to your review.
My girlfriend got me into the Unbreakable universe, and when I saw James McAvoys performance in Split, I was sold on him. So when I saw this trailer In theaters, I knew I was going to see it regardless, just because of him. Can’t wait to take her to see this!

Reviews like this makes me so happy with my decision not to watch trailers anymore. Sony and Blumhouse is beyond terrible when it comes to marketing. I am now very excited to see this one
I've stopped watching trailers last few years, they give away too much now
I don’t watch a bunch of trailers to no movie . I don’t need 3-5 trailers to determine if ima see something . It typically takes one trailer. This was a solid film for me one of the best movies this summer .
So I'm fine if people prefer the endings of horror films with the bad guy winning, but why do so many of those people just act like such gate keepers? Literally everytime I've seen someone angry about the new Speak No Evil having the good guys fight back and any of us happy about it, their first response is always "then don't watch horror movies".
Like there are a 1000 different options in every genre of horror ma dudes. Let us have ours!! 🤣
Yeah some of the responses to this one have been ultra pretentious. People act like they are smarter or more edgy because they love the original. It’s a pretty miserable movie by design. It’s not gonna be everyone’s cup of tea…and that’s ok!
@CodyLeachYT exactly! Like enjoy what they enjoy but they need to let us enjoy a fighting back ending!
I haven't been to the theater in a long time so I was able to avoid the trailers altogether. I actually had a bit more faith in this one not just because James McAvoy was in it but because the director James Watkins, also directed a film called Eden Lake which was a brutal but very well written thriller. I recommend checking it out if you enjoyed this one.
I understand people who haven’t seen the original film will enjoy the remake ; but having seen the original first, this was just overdone Hollywoodized and unnecessary; the first 2/3rd’s is pretty much the same as the original but the final act is so different they could have made a new film based around this without using the Speak No Evil title ; I think they should have stuck with a bleak ending, maybe not as bleak as the original as mass audiences wouldn’t be able to cope
The original was so bleak and horribly tragic , idk if I can recover from that. I MIGHT check this out but that’s why I look for your reviews first !!!
Yes I just watched it last night. I've never scene in a film anything like that with "tongue" and "stoned" before. I'd imagine everyone being mad at parents for being overly polite spineless pushovers. My heart sank last act and when they went back. Should've left or never stayed with strangers to begin with!!!
@@anitaknight3915i agree !
Because of a particular horror film that was released in 2018 and it's marketing strategy, i no longer watch trailers of films i find myself interested in seeing. And funny enough, that aforementioned film was also produced by jason blum 🙄 so with that said, i went into this film with very low expectations and completely blind and boy am i happy I did. I found myself getting impatient by the first hour, but damn did patience pay off. I love this film. The protagonists, particularly the husband, pissed me off haha but MacKenzie absolutely killed it. And of course Mcavoy stole the show. His powerful performance and eccentricities and his presence kept me on the edge of my seat just waiting anxiously for the inevitable turn. What a film. Might be my favorite film of the year.
Every time I'm close to giving up on blumhouse, they make something as good as this
The end reminded me of "frailty".
I left with such chills after watching this. It was such a stomach gripping awkwardly tense thriller.
I looooooove the commentary.
Set boundaries or die.
Cody Leach, Yay! I liked this video so much, it made me smile!
LMAO! That opening was perfection.
I’m new around here but I’ll be patiently hoping to see “La Horde” on the channel in some way. It’s in French but imo it’s one of the best zombie movies! Solid character development and kicks off pretty quickly.
Stephen Sherrard-Griffith Talks Movies At The Bar gave a very interesting reviews on this film. His take was interesting especially his view on certain film reviewers.
I think he & Codey nailed it. It's a very good film, regardless of any existing 2022 version.
Just watched the orginal it was one of my favorite films in recent years very good but the reasons why you like this one more is exactly why I'ma wait for streaming
I disagree about the bunny rabbit. In the original (spoilers) the dad was praised and called a hero for going back for the bunny rabbit. It stroked his ego, and it’s implied that he doesn’t get to feel like that a lot. So him going back for the bunny wasn’t really for the daughter, it was for himself. Where’s in the remake, he doesn’t even find the bunny in the beginning. AND he wants his daughter to get rid of the bunny anyways so why would he care if they left it?
HOWEVER the remake did do something interesting. When Agnes is crying for her bunny she says they’re going to hurt him like they hurt Ant. And then at the end when they’re trying to leave for the second time, he sees them hurt Ant and he immediately jumps out of the car and goes back. Kinda cool, idk
He didn't care about the bunny at all. Its just the fact that she started having an anxiety attack in the car which almost lead to an accident and them dying, he understood that they needed to get that damn plushie. His face said it all when he took the U turn.
Very good point on the original, it is an infuriating decision still but it makes sense coming from such a pathetic character who latches onto any form of validation.
Just saw Speak No Evil last night with my friend and we both loved it. It was such a good tense thriller. Both of us were on the edge of our seats almost the whole time. James McAvoy was perfect with his performance. 9/10
Btw Cody my friend and I were yelling at the screen about them going back for the rabbit.
Entered into this not expecting much but came out loving it, McAvoy's character is genuinely chilling and brilliantly acted. Agree that I would have preferred more of a gore fest towards the end, and a little more bleakness, but boy the atmosphere left behind by the final scenes was just incredible. Thumbs up from me.
From the trailer I definitely wanted to see this. ESP after watching Split and Glass numerous times. McAvoy is superb. He draws you into seeing the movie even if you don’t think u want to. This movie brought life to the 2022 version as I’ve never heard of it. I watched it after seeing this one and the main thing that sticks out to me and why I prefer the 2024 version are the actors. Every single one of them. Even though the scenes in the first half were very similar, they played out better in the new one and I appreciate the ending to the new one and its tone in comparison. I really enjoyed the boy actor in the new one a lot more
I remember staying away from trailers for THE CABIN IN THE WOODS and that was one of my best decisions I ever made!!
But If you want to watch both of the movies I would suggest you watch the new one first.
Because the conclusion will shadow the new one.
I watched the first one before seeing the remake last night and i still cant get scenes from original out of my mind.......even fresh off watching the remake!
I’m happy this is getting good reviews and that there’s a character that realizes the red flags! Hopefully the ending will be more satisfying than the original for me.
Both movies are great. The original is just unmatched in my opinion, the whole “because you let me” scene is one of my favorite scenes of any horror movie.
ty for this! 🙏🙏
I know I really enjoyed this one, Cody. James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis were great in this film. I thought the film did a great job in fleshing out the characters, especially the Daltons. I believe people will enjoy both version of the film.
Honestly the best movie I’ve seen in 10 years Walking into it blind, no trailers, no idea of an original. Loved how James Mcavoy changed to a West Country accent when he dropped the charade.
Just watched the original, wow that third act caught me by surprise.
Another foreign film I can think of which had a remake was the Vanishing. The original had a downer ending while the remake had a happy ending
I think what made me enjoy the newer one more is they lean into the weirdness and atmosphere a lot more than the original.
I think its great we have to versions that different people can enjoy.
Cody Leach you my friend is a american.
This movie was not like the danish movie.
The danish movie was shocking and make u feel bad.
But this movie did nothing of that.
This kind of movie have we seen 1000 times
but the danish was like in you face!
But I still like your channel (:
I saw it today and preferred it to the original (and I love the original)! So pleasantly surprised.
James Mcavoy went from professor Xavier in the X-Men movies to wolverine in this movie.
😂
NGL, I love how you transition the synopsis of the movie into the sponsorship of the video.
I may not have any desire to check out the movie, but I can’t say you’ve got a dullness as a reviewer and entertainer, Cody.
This is the FIRST American remakle of a European Film, that I actually enjoyed. Particularly the last 20 minutes.
I just got out of the movie theater and I really enjoyed this movie, unlike the 2022. I understand the original one’s message, but I just can’t hope for characters that are soooo passive to win. At the end, I couldn’t care less for them. This version is so much more interesting, imo.
Will for sure check this one out just because of James. Such amazing actor
Ty for the review I didn't know this was a remake so minutes after I went and watched the original. So excited to watch this one James mcavoy is such a brilliant actor .
I agree about the dad, I was hoping for a Hills Have Eyes moment with him 😂
Loved the movie and ending. In depth discussion coming Wednesday.
Yo this movie was awesome. So tense, darkly funny, and entertaining throughout. McAvoy is amazing and it’s is worth seeing for him alone. Best thriller of the year by far.
Another great video! I had your voice pop up in my head during the third act with horror tropes like splitting up. I cracked up laughing when they made a dumbass decision to escape out the high ass window with shady af roof and ladder, versus simply going out the front door.
The movie surpasses the original due to execution. I almost skipped it due to its trailer that gave too much away and was overplayed. While there weren’t surprises, the acting was outstanding and tension kept me engaged. It’s definitely worth a watch!
Yeah there were definitely moments in the 3rd act where I was like “oh come on, you dumb fucks.” Lol
I havent bothered with split. But james McAvoy is a really good actorand codys a trust worthy source. Ill give this a watch
Can’t believe this is the same woman who plays ‘Grace Harper’ in Terminator :dark fate ..
i personally appreciated the original much more. i like a movie that sticks in my mind and makes me think. doesn't mean it's for everyone that's for sure. i knew from the first trailer America was going to water it down so i'm not surprised.
Usually I agree but the original infuriated me and not in a thought-provoking way. So while I acknowledge the difference in impact between the two films, I MUCH prefer the enjoyment factor of this one.
Yeah foreign horror films are known for pushing boundaries, showing violence, shocking, disturbing, and bleak depressing endings. I assumed they'd have to do the third act differently in the remake. You can appreciate the experience of both films for different reasons. I think original had cultural messaging of how political correctedness, people pleasing, ignoring instincts, and being overly polite.
@@CodyLeachYTthis one infuriated me more! 🤣
@@CodyLeachYTI agree. That ending pissed me off so much. It wasn't even a message on politeness it was just plain stupidity. And what a horrid outcome. Left me angry and felt like it wasted my time. This movie sounds way more up my alley!!
@@CodyLeachYT The original wasn't supposed to be "enjoyable": it was supposed to be disturbing and it was. The remake was supposed to be "enjoyable" but it was just a hollow, generic horror film.
Watched it last night,loved it.
James mcavoy is a great actor.
Watched the original today.
A hell of a lot more depressing.
Glad I watched the newer version first.
I can totally relate feeling stuck with people that feel toxic. I now get the heck out of there asap❤🎉❤🎉
Never knew that about trailers, learn something new every day. I told myself I'm not watching the trailer for Terrifier 3. I saw the teaser when he's dressed as Santa and that's all I'm watching
Legit want to watch this ever since hearing it differs from the original lmao.
I'd just bought myself a ticket for this and The Killer's Game Monday, since some movies after working the weekend be a sweet way to relax.
Plus, I normally sleep through Mondays because I hate Mondays.
Fortunately, with being out to relax between them, Monday will certainly be... killer. 😏
It looked like it had way more going on in the trailers honestly, I'm excited!
It’s quite good
I never saw the original but considering you liked this movie is enough to bring my interest to this movie cause I expected this movie to fail especially bc of the constant L’s Blumhouse has been getting this year. Wha I noticed so far with the reactions to this movie for the original critics liked the movie but audiences didn’t but for the remake it looks like both critics & audiences enjoy the movie.
Trust me you would love the original
I haven’t seen or heard Anything on it so I wanted your take on it before I decided to watch it. Now I really wanna see the original though
Never seen the original but loved this movie. James McAvoy was perfect for this part, such an amazing actor and a fellow Scot. He should have won an oscar for Filth.
Just watched the movie!! SO GOOD! You’re so right James Mcavoy was beyond charming!! ❤
Lol the dad (2024) was incredibly goofy tho, I was crying laughing at his decisions! 😂
I am actually pretty excited for this after the positive reception I'll probably watch it next week
I have seen the original but the way you described the film and its meaning actually reminded me of a very weird experience I had on vacation a couple years ago. Long story short we were in a 3rd world country doing a small group tour and the tour stopped taking us to the pre designated locations. There were many excuses for this but it got weirder and weirder. My husband and I were immediately suspicious but no one else on the tour was. Those people were all solo travelers and we were shocked they were so naive to not be bothered by being driven into the middle of nowhere at night in a dangerous country. We eventually demanded the guide let us out of the car. I feel like the other tourists were tricked because the guide seemed to be nice and friendly and positive. It might have ended fine but we weren't about to find out the opposite direction
I was just thinking I wonder if this happens more than we'd like to think because people are more at risk being easily trusting in foreign countries with their defenses down while on vacation. It'd be easier to take ppl and make them go missing in a foreign country. That's insane to stay with strangers you just met on vacation like in the original.
Just saw the movie I personally enjoyed it !! Really enjoyed his role very different I feel like !! James mcavoy is very talented and great as an actor I kinda feel like he’s an underrated actor and under appreciated!! 8/10 for me 🙌🏽🔥!! Btw I like your terminator shirt !!
I just saw this. It was AMAZING!!!! I never saw the original but this one I can't say enough good about. James Macavoy ran away with ever scene he was in. This man can give you the creeps with just a look. Mackenzie Davis was great too. I'll be honest, I just didn't care at all for the husband. He was the week link in the cast.
Just seen it about 20 minutes ago. I haven’t seen the original but I really enjoyed this and would also recommend. Great movie 💯
Split, thank you. Yeah, I know I've heard the name, he looked familiar, but without Googling, didn't know from where. But let's see here. We had See No Evil with Kane several years ago, we have Speak No Evil here, just missing Hear No Evil and then it's Monkey Time. 😉😂🤣 But this does sound like one of the better Blumhouse movies, so maybe I'll see it. We shall see. Right now I'm stuck at home with no way of going anywhere, so yeah, would have to wait and see. But enjoyed your video. Thank you, Cody.
James MacAvoy is Scottish and Mackenzie Davis is Canadian. Neither are "American actors". Aisling Franciosi is Irish as well. The film was shot in Croatia and England.
I don’t remember where I said that but I just misspoke. Sometimes you have those brain short circuits while talking a lot.
I kinda wish they had just let James be Scottish, I think someone going psycho in a Scottish accent would be more intimidating 😂 and I say this as a Scottish person. I love the soundtrack in this movie, I really enjoyed the movie as a whole definitely going to rewatch it
I knew James McAvoy would be fantastic, but I’m more excited after this review.
I might check this one out tonight. Seen the original and .... if you know you know, right? But I'm glad to hear this ain't that.
I definitely enjoyed this ending better. They actually fought back.
By having the people survive the film defeats the entire theme of the movie. That's why the line "you let us" is so powerful. This movie is to horror what ketchup is to hot sauce
Agreed
100%. I don’t WANT those things to happen obviously but them surviving made the whole thing feel kinda pointless. Just another mainstream American horror movie…
I dunno, cause based on what I hear, the "You let us" line would've left with me saying outloud "NO SHIT!"
I believe the term is "Too bleak, don't care"
Dumb ass take.
No way its better. They kind of missed the point, the original movie is dark satire about bout political correctness that is extreme in EU. So make it short - they rather get killed than daring to say no.
This guy also said abuse or violence towards children is a big no no for him on film, so it makes sense why he would like the American one more. They're the same film besides one having a less dark ending
The reason people liked the original is because it was a message.
The remake destroyed it at the end.
The end of the movie could of been a die hard movie or some thing stupid
I just watched the original Danish that third act threw me through a loop. I didn’t see that ending coming at any point of the film. Next week I’m seeing the blumhouse version next week.
Hi Cody, I'm so Glad you reviewed the New Speak No Evil, & I've seen other good & 1 spoiler review of it, so I really want to see it, as I know I also will like it Better than the bleak, upsetting 2022 film. RE the Orig. movie, I feel much like you did, as tho it was very well done & acted, the Danish/Good husband was So passive it was Maddening, & most of the movie was so Disturbing, I found it entertaining but didn't "enjoy" it, & I was truly Upset by its last 20 mins & tragic, sad ending.😥 The only movie I've seen in a Theater in last few yrs was Barbie w/a good friend, but she doesn't like Horror, so I may have to force myself to go see the new Speak No Evil alone.🤞
Great Review Cody and good comparison. I haven't seen the original but I did look it up and I was still happy with the film because it was written and Directed by James Watkins who directed films like my little eye which is sort of like a exploitation Big Brother style horror film and he did the Daniel Radcliffe starring woman in black film and a little British horror film called Eden Lake All of these films have one thing in common which is that they have very upsetting and very screwed up endings and I suppose after thinking about it for a long time he probably just thought I don't want to make another film with a depressing ending, but nevertheless I felt like with his previous work, the ending to this version still had some teeth. If you're not sold on the approach to the way this film was handled, go to see the film for James M'acovys performance, lets just say I was getting some Eden Lake levels of discomfort watching some of the scenes in this film. I also like the fact when I was watching it there wasn't as much music in this version as their would be in a standard Blumhouse production, it probably felt more timeless then most of the films they have done recently.
If you want to see more films like this film but without the cleaned-up ending check out some of the other films from this director he's someone who deserves to keep making movies for how uncompromising he can be
I liked The original better. Original had better Pacing, structure, development of the characters. In the original they took their time with explaining plotpoints, but without losing the entire pacing. For mainstream moviegoers This ending might have been thrilling, but to me it was a little generic. Nothing that i haven’t seen before. McAvoy great as a psycho, that is no surprise cause we have seen that already in Split and Glass.
That’s fair
The remake's ending sparked mixed reactions, as it was a complete contrast to the original film's ending. The original film's director and writer, Christian Tafdrup, criticized the change, claiming that "I don’t know what it is about Americans, but they are brought up for a heroic tale, where the good must win over the bad, and this version of the film cultivates that.".....Enough said.
