CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

adonis98-743-186503 A group of delinquents are sent to clean the Blackwell Hotel. Little do they know reclusive psychopath Jacob Goodnight has holed away in the rotting hotel. When one of the teens is captured, those who remain - a group that includes the cop who put a bullet in Goodnight's head four years ago - band together to survive against the brutal killer. When See No Evil first premiere it was on 2006 when WWE was at it's top forms and back then i freaking loved it but after i gave it a 2nd look it was pretty bad by the numbers horror film with really bland acting from the entire cast and not that scary of a movie in general and nothing that you haven't seen before in general. (4/10)

npfares I must say that "See No Evil" is actually a great horror movie. As an independent horror movie I think that WWE did the Horror genre right. They made a movie true to the Horror genre as well as a movie that doesn't patronize it's fan base. Glenn Jacobs, or as WWE Fans will know him as "Kane", did an excellent job as the bad guy Jacob Goodnight. His upbringing is true to an insane person who is understandable. The 'victims' of the movie did a good job in the sense of horror movie acting, nothing special but was believable enough that the audience can accept them as real characters. Even if you are even a minor horror fan, ie Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, and other popular horror movie series, you will like this movie. I definitely suggest watching this film because it is entertaining and true to the horror genre at the same time. It is a great horror film that will be a part of the horror genre for a long time to come.

Woodyanders Eight petty criminals are assigned to do community service by cleaning up a filthy and dilapidated abandoned hotel. Unfortunately, said hotel proves to be the stalking grounds of vicious reclusive psychopath Jacob Goodnight (enormous professional wrestler Kane).Okay, the premise alone is pretty damn silly and preposterous, what with a small handful of folks selected to clean up in a mere three days (!) a massive dingy hotel with multiple floors which somehow still has electricity and running water despite having been ravaged in the past by a fire. Then there's the way director Gregory Dark, a fellow whose previous credits include hardcore porn, 90's soft-core erotic thrillers, and music videos for people like Britney Spears, Vitamin C, and Mandy Moore, goes gloriously whole hog on the flashy pyrotechnics replete with rapid-fire editing, shadowy lighting, black and white freeze frames complete with text explaining the specific offenses of each criminal, sepia-tinged flashbacks, and hyperactive camera-work. Dan Madigan's leave-no-cliché unturned script likewise hits the hilariously cornball spot with jaw-dropping bluntness: Jacob naturally turns out to be the dangerously toxic product of childhood abuse and a strict religious upbringing while the obnoxious victims clearly mark themselves for doom by smoking weed and making out.The acceptable acting by the competent cast holds the picture together: Rachael Taylor as snooty rich bitch Zoe, Christina Vidal as the sassy Christine, Michael J. Pagan as the smooth Tye, Luke Pegler as swaggering thug Michael, Samantha Noble as the hapless Kira, Craig Horner as the nerdy Craig, Penny McNamee as sensitive vegan Melissa, and Steve Vidler as rugged ex-cop Williams. With his bald head, evil leer, and hulking physique, Kane makes for a genuinely fearsome and intimidating horror fiend. The moments of gory and sadistic brutality pack a savage punch, with plenty of ugly eyeball violence and a memorably nasty cellphone-shoved-down-the-throat gag. Ben Nott's grayish cinematography provides an appropriately gloomy'n'grungy look. Fun slasher schlock.

bowmanblue I'm actually writing this review after my second viewing of 'See No Evil.' The reason being is because I like slasher films and I rented this again because I'd forgotten I'd seen it! That kind of gives you a clue as to the impact the film originally had on me.It's about a bus-load of unusually-attractive young convicts (all girls look like models and all lads are rugged and good-looking) who are allowed out of the youth detention centre for a weekend in order to help clean an abandoned hotel. Naturally, this location just happens to be inhabited by a complete nutter who likes to pluck youngsters' eyes out and keep them in jars (guess it beats stamp collecting?).With modern slasher films, it seems that most try to go either one of two ways: they either play it straight and everything's really dark and serious. Or they go for the over-the-top effect and it's a bit tongue in cheek with blatantly-stupid gore etc. See No Evil goes for the former. It's all dark and gloomy. And, to be fair, the atmosphere is good. It's all very dark and claustrophobic and the sets are nicely foreboding.However, the gore itself is nothing special. There's little more to mention than in your average (original) Friday 13th film.The youngsters who run about the place screaming and generally dying are functional. They do their job well. The adults in the group are pretty much redundant and you'll probably see the twist coming a mile off.But, if you're into slasher films, this one is definitely not down there with the worst of them, but, like I said, I watched it once, forgot I had done and then accidentally watched it again. Not that I regret it, it's just the sort of film that will get lost among the many slasher films any fan of the genre has seen.Special mention to 'Kane' who plays the killer well.
