The English remake of 'Speak No Evil' offers stunning 1080p visuals and a crisp Dolby TrueHD 7.1 audio mix, but lacks depth; recommended with reservations.

Speak No Evil's Blu-ray showcases a stunning 1080p HD transfer with detailed visuals shot on Arri Alexa cameras, capturing rich color palettes that shift from vibrant Italian streets to earthy English farmlands. The 2.39:1 AVC HD encode maintains excellent skin tones, high detail levels, and immersive depth, despite slight brightness.

Audio: 88

Speak No Evil's Blu-ray release features a remarkably engaging Dolby TrueHD 7.1 audio track, enhancing its dialogue-heavy narrative. The mix excels in clarity and dynamic range, skillfully balancing vocals and atmospheric 80s tracks, providing depth to sound effects like gunshots. Despite no Dolby Atmos, the TrueHD offers an immersive experience.

Extra: 59

The Blu-ray extras for "Speak No Evil" offer insightful content, from the enticing exploration of characters in "Nuclear Families" to the psychological depth discussed in "A Horrifying Crescendo" and the eerie transformation of setting in "The Farmhouse of Horrors," with a dry yet informative commentary by director James Watkins.

Movie: 72

While 'Speak No Evil' on Blu-ray showcases strong acting performances and technical qualities, it ultimately falls short of its original, favoring a predictably lifeless climax over the Danish film's raw tension and horror, leaving critics divided on its effectiveness as a remake.
