The scene where little Abel is humiliated by his father for his 'poor dance' is far beyond all the jump scares in all horror movies.
The horror, the sadness and the anger made me sick, for real.

31 Nights of Halloween Horror 2022: Day 1
Here we are, another year! I didn’t finish posting the ones last year even though I DID watch a movie every day last October, but this year I’ll definitely keep up with the posts lol. For the first day this October, my choice was Speak No Evil (2022)
I’m rating this 6/10. Good for a watch, creepy premise, good sad ending. All around decent movie.

watched speak no evil (2022) and was genuinely frustrated with the parents’ politeness and overall lack of self preservation/survival instincts. they had so many chances of escaping and so many red flags shoved in their faces. like, irl victim blaming is messed up no matter what, but this is a movie so I’m gonna say they were being so polite to the people who obviously didn’t deserve it and in the end their politeness literally got them killed. like… if finding their own young daughter in bed with a naked man (two naked adults? was the wife naked too?) wasn’t enough for them to call the cops and get tf out of there without turning back (I mean in their defense they kind of did, only that they returned because their daughter thought she lost her toy, so they were too polite to say no to their daughter in a situation where saying no was necessary, and then were too polite to leave again) then watching their own daughter literally get her tongue cut off should be enough for them to, I don’t know, at least try to fight? all the mom did was scream and thrash around and all the dad did was indulge in his own shocked state. and I mean those two people that were killing them didn’t have any weapon with them? (that scissors were so tiny it wouldn’t have been much of a problem if the parents actually fought) like… why would you strip when they told you to strip? BROS AT LEAST TRY TO FIGHT. THEY DIDN’T HAVE ANY REAL WEAPONS. you would’ve had a 50/50 chance of winning. and why would you get in that pit and let them stone you to death? I get that the film’s slogan was “staying polite in the face of unpleasantness”, which was also mentioned when the guy said they did this because the parents “let them” as a response to the dad’s question about why they were doing this - so the parents being overly polite was kind of the point? but it would have been such a good psychological horror movie, if the politeness of the parents weren’t SO frustrating to viewers.

«Pero hemos de admitir que el buen uso de la construcción de personajes evidencia las paradojas de la condición humana y las lesiones latentes del alma: esas heridas que nos dejan indefensos y al desnudo en la oscuridad».
Paulina Vázquez sobre ‘Speak no evil’, 2022. de Christian Tafdrup.
