Speak No Evil does an excellent job of building up tension and an increaseing sense of dread. The way the narrative slowly builds is very well done, but it doesn't really build to anything very interesting or deeply meaningful, instead opting for a 'twist' that isn't really a twist, and a third act that doesn't pay off the narrative in an interesting or shocking way.
The acting is very good, with the whole small cast really doing an excellent job. I get the feeling that rather than trying for universal appeal, it's a specific cultural comment I can't connect to.
I love a good dark ending, but this one just felt a bit boring and generic. Ultimately the film had great qualities, but didn't really stand out.
