Can we just talk about how Speak No Evil was one of the highest rated yet worst movies we've ever seen? (self.movies)

It's anger porn and bad decisions all the way through, just absolutely agonizing to watch. Who the fuck rated this positively? They even had the very much repeated "oh no almost got hit by a semi" trope. How many bad decisions can you make coupled with lack of self preservation for your own life and especially your child's? Fuck right off with this

It's just insane. Every single chance they have to escape they opt out. Even at the end, instead of telling your daughter to stand by where she can be seen and protected, you just say "fuck it go over there, we'll figure it out"

AND EVEN THEN, she's held hostage because let's face it, we're just a bad decision flow chart personified, and even though you just hit the most evil person you'll ever encounter with ketamine, you still don't have the balls to kill him.

The only thing that could have made this movie better was the whole family actually being hit by a semi during their escape so that way they can never make a decision again.

Another way to say that is, save us from your own writing.
