This is far from original. It is a pathetic horror. It seemed obvious that they saved their entire budget for the ridiculous, over-the-top, ludicrous ending. If the whole film was like the ending then it would have been very good. The gore wasn't even that gross. There was no depth or atmosphere. A lacklustre effort. The overblown and fun ending barely improves a terrible attempt at a horror movie.

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.

I picked this up years ago due Kane being in it as the evil slasher and following WWE that's how I did know him and of course being filed under horror it was a must see for me but somehow it ended in my collection without watching it until today, yes, 9 years later. Why I didn't watch it was that it wasn't popular under the geeks but I must say that it is just a no-brainer with some nice effects here and there and a bit of CGI towards the end which worked out fine. What I didn't like was the acting and story throughout this flick. Why the killer became what he is is explained and that part was okay especially with the song and mother being introduced but the rest lacked suspense. Of course the youth being involved is a bit of the tough kind but somehow I didn't believed it. Another problem is the fact that there is a shower scene and I have said it before, if you are stripping for the camera then show it all in stead of covering behind towels. Face it, it's an 18+!!.Kane himself does what he does best, looking angry and throwing people through the air just like in WWE. It's the gore that upgrades this flick but I can understand that some buffs didn't liked it.Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2,5/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Firstly, I would like to mention that See No Evil is not an excellent horror film, but I will say it is not the worst of the bunch of horror films that have come out before and after it. In the year 2006, I believe it was a real step up for horror films and it was one of the best years for it as 2005 brought as CGI-ed uncreativity. The year 2006 however to me brang something more to the genre. Sure, we still had many films about cannibalism, torture, murder, blood, gore and disasters but I believe that it went back to brutal roots. And films like See No Evil, Slither, Black Sheep and the Hills Have Eyes remake were some of the films to do that. A year later, 2007 continued to strive in the same vain.Viewing See No Evil, I cannot thank it enough for actually getting me into the horror genre. I was never a major horror film fanatic until I watched See No Evil. Once I saw this film from 2006 (which I thought was an excellent year for horror films), I instantly engaged with the genre, now having watched many horror films, especially in the slasher category being Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th naming a few of the famous slashers.I do See No Evi is quite cliché' and at times re-cycles many of the same formulas we have seen in countless slasher films over the past decades. But overall, I find it to be creepy (don't read on if you don't like spoilers), parts including the girl getting a phone shoved down her throat or when Richie and Ty find a ruffled victim who they realize wasn't killed long ago. I thought even though this film was like those of Friday the 13th or Scream, I still thought there were elements of disturbance and creepiness.Being honest, I thought that the film was paced quite well. We have an introduction to a gruesome massacre and discovery, then we are introduced to the juvenile teens one by one, and then it sets in an isolated, abandoned hotel at night time, where a psychopathic recluse does away with all of them unexpectedly. Same formula of story but I found this film unique for many reasons.Warning, that I don't like WWE or many of their films. This, Walking Tall and The Condemned are the only exceptions. Stuff like the Marine was awful.Back to the review, I thought that Kane or Glen Jacobs did an excellent job at playing the killer, Jacob Goodnight. He really evoked some fear and aggression through his character. I believe he should be chosen to be in many more horror/slasher stalk horror films. He was pretty creepy in this, especially many of the close-up's or his perspective shots. The other actors were alright but Kane stole the show.I thought that setting the plot at a rundown hotel was an awesome idea, something different for once. The music was tense and many of the killers although maybe a bit silly, were pretty decent.Overall, See No Evil is no gold-winning Horror film, but there shouldn't be so much hate on it. It really isn't that bad. Many of the horror films from 2005 were awful. Accept for Feast, but many from that period were horrible. This film kicks ass and I do believe it doesn't intend or even try to cover new ground at all. It was only following the formula. Even Horror films these days have tried following the same ol' slasher formula. See No Evil was unique, and I'd like to see Kane in more horror films. 7 eyeballs out of 10
