There tends to be a sense of wariness around an American remake of an international film: a worry that the American version will squander the inherent qualities of the original; that the filmmakers and studio might take something singular and turn it into a bigger, shinier blockbuster.
Ironically, that is exactly the case with writer/director James Watkins’ Speak No Evil – a remake of a 2022 Danish horror film of the same name by Christian Tafdrup — and yet it works, thanks to a rock-solid, sickeningly horrifying premise.
