 Hell Night November 20, 2008
"See No Evil" is a great body-count slasher, starring wrestling champion Kane; he is Jacob Goodnight, a humongous serial killer who makes Jason Voorhees look like a ninety pound weakling. He is brutal and frightening as he slays his victims with hooks and chains, reminding me of Leatherface in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."
The setting is perfect. The abandoned Blackwell Hotel is a maze of rooms and corridors, secret passages, and two-way mirrors. An attractive group of young delinquents are bussed there to spend three days helping to clean it. Unfortunately, most of them don't survive the first night. Unknown to them, the upper floors are littered with the eyeless corpses of derelicts, victims of Goodnight. Trapped within the hotel, the delinquents are slaughtered like animals.
"See No Evil" reminded me much of "Hell Night," starring Linda Blair. A group of sorority and fraternity pledges are locked inside the gates of haunted Garth Manor. In the basement, one of the Garth family members still survives, a homicidal mongoloid.
This film has some tense chase scenes; graphic, shocking violence; and a great revelation ending. The acting and direction are superb. Jacob Goodnight should be allowed into the Hall of Infamous Serial Killers along with Jason Voorhees, Leather Face, and Michael Myers. In regards to serial killers, I like the strong, silent type.
Put "See No Evil" on your must see list of modern slasher flicks. After watching Jacob Goodnight in action, I doubt you'll be able to get a good night's sleep.
 all that gore still doesn't make the movie great September 11, 2008
Responding to a call, a cop investigate a house that turned out to be an earthly version of hell. Nearly killed, the cop puts a bullet into the monster of a serial killer. However, salvation comes with a price. The cop loses one of his hands.
4 years later, the cop is now a guard of a juvie detention center. 8 teens are taken to a condemned hotel. In exchange of a reduced sentence, the teens must clean up the hotel to have it presentable when it becomes a shelter.
Like the 10 little Indians, the teens start dying one by one. Killing them is Jacob Goodnight, the same killer that the cop thought he had killed 4 years earlier.
Overall, simple and predictable and spiced with gore. Regardless, it was ho-hum.
Worth a rental, though horror fans make want a place for it on their shelves September 8, 2008
Pretty much by-the-numbers slasher flick gets a few extra points for high production values and competent film making. A bunch of good looking teens, incarcerated for various offenses, get time shaved off their sentences by helping to clean up an old hotel so it could be turned into a homeless shelter. Before they know it, a big ol' creepy serial killer is stalking them one by one through the dark halls of the abandoned hotel. That's the movie.
I loved how, in the opening scenes, the kids are picked up from the prison to be transported to the hotel, and they're all wearing the hippest, most stylish casual wear possible, when in real life they'd be garbed in baggy prison-issue orange jump suits. But I won't quibble.
The movie doesn't shy away from gritty, gross murder effects, which may be a plus or a minus in your book (I don't need the graphic scenes, but I don't hold them against a movie that advertises itself as a slasher pic). And I thought the handful of flashback scenes showing how the killer got that way to be genuinely dark and scary, even demonstrating some artful subtlety. Anyway, if you're open to new entries in the genre that flourished in the wake of the "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" movies, this is a fairly painless hour and twenty-five minutes or so. Generous extra features round out the DVD.
 See No Evil will scare you out of your mind! June 11, 2008
See no evil is a fast pace horror film starring Kane a.k.a. Glenn Jacobs. The movie is quite grapic so anyone who is disturbed by blood should probably not watch this. I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of blood and gore and people who love to watch wrestling because you won't be dissapointed! 5 out of 5 stars!
Kane goes Nuts! May 31, 2008
Kane playes a religious nut keeped in isolation by his mother who teaches him a warped and extreme versionh of the christian faith. He lives his life gouging out the eyes of sinners until a cop puts abullet in his head but looses his hand in the process.
Years later the officer has recoverd and is working with the Dept. of Corrections. He has been tasked with keeping a group of hot-headed criminqal wanabes told to refurbish a old hotel for use by the homeless. Kane is living there and does not like visitors. He begins his trademark killings of brutal decapitation and the final eye removal. The officer and crew soon figure out whats going on and try to find a way out only to be locked in by the curator who just happens to be Kane's Mother! Kane uses this to trap and kill all but three of the felins who finally knock Kane out of a window and he lands on a window grate that pierces his heart and kills him. The End.
Now to may people this may not be a real eye grabber. Steriotype killings with a few touches and a very basic plot making for a short film. the gore is the high point of the films Horror factor as it has plenty of stabing, hacking and gouging to go around. Unlike all the other WWE Films this was intended to be a slasher and they did well enough. Not flashy but certainly doesnt suck.
