Speak No Evil (2024)

I had my doubts about this remake, but James McAvoy’s maniacally crisp villain keeps the viewer uncomfortably hooked. This version is quite different than the absolute passively dangerous 2022 version, but again, it is James McAvoy’s complete mastery of his character that makes it work. Both versions are good, and deserve appreciation. The 2022 version, however, had an outstanding cast all around that conveyed discomfort, terror and helplessness that this version lacks. This version is James’ credit. He kept it entertainingly lascivious and psychotic.
