Dumb-ish zombie movie, that does not capture ones imagination. Run for cover!

While the concept of demonic possessed children does have a certain sense of dread and horror about it, "Speak No Evil" didn't fully exploit the potential that it had at hand.

The story starts out a bit slow, but quickly picks up pace and gets into gear with lots of things happening. Although a lot is happening, it is not difficult to keep up with the story, because it is done chronologically and in a well-presented manner.

What didn't really work about the movie was that it came off as too shallow, as if the director didn't really delve into the many layers that were made available by the concept of the movie. And as such, the end result was a rather hollow experience at best.

The characters in the movie were fairly one-dimensional and never really got to portray any proper characteristics and that just made you didn't care about the protagonists or anyone else for that matter.

Acting-wise, then "Speak No Evil" was adequate, but the actors and actresses were fairly limited by the script and the direction. Again, the potential wasn't fully taken advantage of here either.

As for the ending. Well, let's just say that it was alright, although is very just oozing with a cliché ending for a horror movie. But the ending worked out well enough for what it was.

The best part of the movie had to be the children. I mean, demonic possessed children running rampart in a small town killing and maiming the inhabitants. And the eyes were actually one of the more interesting things about the entire movie. I liked the thing they had done with the children's eyes.

For a horror movie, then "Speak No Evil" was a fairly poor experience. It wasn't scary, nor was it particularly interesting or appealing.

I am rating the movie a mere 3 out of 10 stars.

I had to register just so that I could comment on this movie. It is utter trash and if I can help one soul, PLEASE do not watch this. Watching movies on Netflix, I usually do a search on IMDb first, and if the movie is at least 5.0/10, I will watch it. For some reason, I didn't search this movie in IMDb.com before watching. What a mistake. With a 3.7/10 rating at the time of this post, this was 1 hour of my life I'd like back.

Even though I posted that there aren't any spoilers, I think there is 1 spoiler...If you rented or started watching this on Netflix, that is a guaranteed evening spoiler.

No character development. No dialogue. No rational thinking by characters...nothing. But the actors/actresses did their best with what they had, and I'd have to give them a 5/10 for that. Everything else should be a zero, but the lowest I can rate is 1...unfortunately.

So I thought this was a different movie.. the 2014 new release. But it caught my attention because it was shot in Apache Junction where I live. I recognized Superstition Mountain immediately and at the end the Motel 6 off of the 60 by Waffle House. The name of this movie should have been Joey.. because that's about all I heard throughout the whole hour and a half. The lead actress was good, but her character was slow, clumsy and irritating. The characters thought processes were that of special ed students.. nothing was thought through, decisions took forever to make and when they were made, they were the wrong ones. Don't waste your money.

This movie was funny lots of possessions crazy kids.running around killing adults.as mom tries to save her daughter.was more a comedy than a horror movie but still not to bad.

The first minute of this movie is promising it. It has the only moments of horror and suspense you find in this entire movie. If you turned it off from there you'd walk away with a better experience.

The characters in this movie are all EXTREMELY annoying. However acting from the kids is by far the greatest horror of this film. Their insentient never-ending screaming is obnoxious and rude to the viewers. Do we really need 10 straight minutes of kids yelling and screaming in unison?? The special effects consists of motor oil dripping from the kids mouths when they aren't screaming. The other scenes ramble on pointlessly. After a while fast forwarding becomes essential. Don't waste your time.

Totally not what I thought, quality-wise anyway.

I'm trying to review this in a way that won't bias you going in. So don't start with high expectations and it will work out as a better experience.

It's runtime is a bit over an hour, but that's not at all what it feels like.

For a $150,000 budget, I expected a lot less. Maybe the director/writer didn't take any immediate pay. Either way, 8/10 for this product on that budget.

Roze maybe could have used some help with the writing, but it isn't bad, I've seen far worse from plenty of big budget movies.

As far as direction goes, put Christopher Nolan on video instruction manuals and sub in Roze FTW. After watching, imagine what this guy could do with 150 mil... (vid manuals are more than Nolan deserves). I'm going to watch his earlier works, even though according to reviews, it seems that the writing needed more work then too, maybe he got better lol.
