Brendan Writes: The film adaptation of Andy Weir’s modern day Robinson Crusoe “The Martian” is set to release this winter, and as someone who enjoyed the book but found certain elements a bit repetitive, I find myself thinking—for the first time in my life—that the movie is going to be better than the book. As a somewhat old-fashioned and dismissive literary snob when it comes to film adaptations of novels I enjoy, this is a new and exciting feeling; to be excited for a movie version of a book is something I’ve rarely been able to say before, even more so now after being brutally betrayed by the bloated, boring, and completely devoid-of-charm Hobbit films.
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.
