An undertaker's birthday party is interrupted when Jacob Goodnight rises from the dead and proceeds to terrorize her and her friends. To be honest 'See No Evil' as bad as it might have been it still had some good and alright moments but 'See No Evil 2' is even more terrible than the first. I mean it has the typical in your face scares you know jump scares and things and one chick gets on top of Jacob who is basically dead and even kisses his lips and she starts having sex with her boyfriend next to a corpse. Damn whoever wrote the script was definitely high plus both the acting and the dialogue was abysmal. Go and watch some of those The Marine movies their way better than this. (0/10)

Granted, I sat down to watch "See No Evil 2" even after being less than impressed with the first movie. But I had the chance to watch the two movies back to back, so I did so.This sequel is even more pointless and ridiculous than the first movie. At least the first movie had something that resembled a storyline and a backstory, whereas "See No Evil 2" is essentially just a reanimated Jacob Goodnight slasher killing people at a morgue.It made no sense whatsoever that the Jacob Goodnight character came back to life after the severe injuries and trauma that he suffered at the end of the first movie. And as he did come back from that kind of physical punishment and trauma would make him undead, I guess. But it didn't feel that way in any sense.While we are on the Jacob Goodnight character, then it has to be pointed out that the killer is so horribly generic and mundane as he could possibly be, and he doesn't stand out in any noticeably way as a serial killer/slasher character. And how very convenient that there was a mask lying around at the morgue to mask his facial injuries, and even more so lucky that it was the same side of the face that the mask was made to cover up.Furthermore, it was just downright ridiculous that Jacob Goodnight remained alive and kicking after having had an entire canister of embalming fluids pumped into his system."See No Evil 2" did have some adequate and interesting enough kill scenes to it, but it was hardly enough to make up for all the other shortcomings that the movie had.The special effects, both CGI and practical were actually good enough and did serve the movie well enough.Now, it should be said that there actually some good actors and actresses on the cast list.I am sure that there is some sort of entertainment value for fans of the first movie. But for fans of the slasher genre, then "See No Evil 2" is sort of a cold fish to the face, offering nothing much of any worthwhile.

Working on the graveyard shift, workers at a birthday party at a local hospital morgue find the hulking body that was just delivered is a still-alive serial killer responsible for a recent killing spree and sets out to continue killing forcing them to stop the madman.This wasn't all that bad of a sequel and definitely had some solid moments at work. This one here is mostly enjoyable when it stays on the simple-minded track of being what a good slasher should be where this certainly gets some solid work in here. The first attack of his resurrection, where he approaches the humping couple off in the side-room by turning off the lights and then appearing behind them when they finally score a light-source on is a fine suspenseful sequence, as well as the multitude of stalking the party-goers inside the hallways of the hospital where he sets about getting some rather nicely-handled stalking scenes against them. From the rattled panic of trying to find one of the endless rooms to hide in or the absolutely amazing scene in the bathroom where he traps two in different segments and must try not to alert him to either presence yet still try to get out alive which is quite the fun and impressive sequence as well as the fun pitched battle at the end where he begins throwing them around the hospital and generating some solid action that makes fantastic use of his imposing size advantage within the cramped setting. There's some solid work here as well with the few small details in the kills where it showcases the aftermath of the different kills here which gives this one some rather nice kills and graphic moments coming across their mutilated remains. Though that does come off nicely, it also highlights the first of the film's flaws here in that really start with that one feature. Though we do get some really graphic kills here, most of them occur off-screen and only feature the group stumbling upon them later, rendering them to such throwaway status that there's barely anything that can be taken from them. They mostly just seem to gloss over them and simply cuts away before the big moment leaving only a few minor pieces of blood-splatter on-screen rather than getting to the actual shot here. As well, the fact that this becomes all the more apparent due to the film's surprisingly low body-count where it doesn't really have a ton of choices to begin with here so the timing of this one does feel a little off here throwing the deaths into small spurts and then not going through on it's best work at that point, which leaves the kills all around pretty unsatisfactory with a small cast getting bloody and brutal deaths for the most past off-screen. The last problem here is the ending, which scores nicely with the surprise death and the big finale brawl around the hospital resulting in an appropriate and grisly death, but the final shock moment blatantly ignores what happened moments before merely to get a cheap jump that won't work based on the actions that just occurred moments earlier. It's a lame and unsatisfactory ending that leaves this with a sour impression, but is otherwise still a fine enough slasher.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and mild sexual antics.

Even as the original See No Evil (2006) wasn't a big hit still there were rumours of making a second one. And must I say that this one was hyped all over the community. The reason for that was simple, the Soska sisters were directing it. After their hit American Mary (2012) they even brought back in Katharine Isabelle. Also called the next big thing I must say that I liked her in American Mary but here she did overacted a bit. Still, the cast was made of all famous thespians of the horror genre, Danielle Harris for example and Michale Eklund. So I thought that this one was going to deliver the stuff I was expecting from the Soska sisters and the thespians but I was left with a bitter feeling. Story is again a straight slasher but this time and by saying this many wont agree it's in fact Katherine Isabelle who tears down the level of this flick. Her overacting makes it sometimes a bit annoying and I was even glad when she finally got killed. Harris on the other hand is again great, she never let me down so far. If you haven't seen the original don't worry it's easy to pick up this one because there are a lot of flashbacks involved explaining what happened in part 1 and what happened to Jacob, the killer.The editing and the way it was shot is again sublime but it's the acting, sigh, by you know who this time that makes it a bit of a mediocre flick. But the way she's killed I did like. Worth picking up, yes for all the great names in it, but overall a mediocre slasher.Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5
