To Insidious: Chapter 2’s credit, it completely ignores that lazily successful business model. Unlike most horror follow-ups, nearly everyone came back for the Insidious sequel. Director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell are back; stars Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne returned; even Lin Shaye’s ghost whisperer has been exhumed, and that’s impressive considering she died in the original’s closing minutes. Yet despite the same creative team as the first film, Insidious: Chapter 2 is boldly dissimilar to that flick in one too many ways: Namely quality.
Speak No Evil is a bone-chilling experience, one of the only films in recent memory that can make even the most ordinary poolside and family holiday moments feel ominous and haunting, you will not forget this one. It will stay with you way past watching the film. Speak No Evil is not for the faint of heart, especially if you have children, James McAvoy's performance is spectacular at making you feel uneasy and makes this a must-watch psychological thriller.
