See No Evil
2006 Directed by Gregory Dark
Synopsis
This summer. Evil gets raw.
A group of delinquents are sent to clean the Blackwell Hotel. Little do they know reclusive psychopath Jacob Goodnight (Jacobs) 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.

A group of young delinquents are sent to clean up a dilapidated hotel when they get more than they bargained for in the shape of muscle-bound killer with an eye fetish. Produced by WWE Studios and featuring one of their own lumbering wrestlers, Glenn Jacobs (more commonly known as Kane), See No Evil is an uninspired slasher film populated by cardboard cutout characters and a serious lack of decent kills.
The film utilises a stock grimy aesthetic that has been used by every half-arsed DTV horror film of the past ten years. I assume it is supposed to look dark and creepy but it mainly just looks cheap and lazy. Beyond the novelty of seeing a wrestler butcher a group…

“Look into their eyes, can't you see the sin?”
-Margaret (Cecily Polson)Once a good number of years ago a girl I knew told me one of her favourite horror movies was ‘See No Evil’. Now at that point in time I hadn’t heard of the 2006 horror film starring notorious WWF wrestler Glenn ‘Kane’ Jacobs, so I assumed that she was referring to the 1989 comedy film, See No Evil, Hear No Evil starring Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor; I thought it best not to flag up her error. Now though I see it was I that made the rather foolish mistake. In hindsight, all I can say is that she had horrible taste in horror movies (no offence…

Believe it or not, See No Evil gave me hope for WWE Studios. Not because it's any good, because it's not really, it has all the same problems all underwhelming modern Horror movies have, from the underwritten, unlikable characters to the trying-too-hard, everything-looks-a-bit-grimy artificial dirtiness that the Platinum Dunes remakes made popular. But it's not UNIQUELY awful, either. There are no moments of stunning badness that cause your jaw to hit the floor. There are even some GOOD points- some of the gore effects are quite good, there's one effective death scene involving a pack of dogs (that rather maturely leaves a lot to your imagination), and Glen "Kane" Jacobs is actually really good as the killer. In a better…

I see some bullshit film.
I also see two roaches fucking.
I wish I could unsee both.

Meh horror starring some tall bald bloke from WWE.
Got some pretty good gore moments, totally fails on character development. -
Ah, the perils of WWE films. Ever since The Rock thundered through the box office with his Mummy 2 spin off, The Scorpion King, Vince McMahon has been trying to replicate it's success by working to the theory that if WWE fans tune in to watch guys wrestle every week then they're just as likely to turn out to see the same guys in movies. It's taken a while but it seems like McMahon may finally be getting the message that this is definitely not the case but back in 2006, before WWE went fully PG, Vince poured his companies money into this second rate, slasher flick with Glen "Kane" Jacobs in the psycho role.

When WWE decided to start up its own movie division they decided to start off small and so what many other small movie studios do, go with a horror flick. In this case a slasher and what better person on their roster to be a evil slasher villain in movie than their own resident big red monster Kane.
Kane stars as Jacob Goodnight a slasher villain that WWE surely was hoping to catch on the same way that slasher villains like Jason and Michael Myers before him. He even has a great slasher name Jacob Goodnight? That is an awesome name for a slasher villain! Being a slasher villain though he needed a gimmick and what better then having Goodnight…

Not the worst film I have but its clearly not going to get a podium finish either.
It is unique ok in parts and doesnt conform to the usual slasher element of picking the victims of one by one until the victims only realise something is up when there are only 2 of them left.
Not only this but it is quite brutal in certain places and a word to the wise, dont watch if you have a problem with eyes.
I dod also have an issue with the bloke from the wrestling looking like he was about to crack one off.
Why is that whore still alive?

Forest explains why movies about Mexican wrestling, made by Americans with no budget, are a bad idea with Wrestlemania. Cory shares his surprise, as he reviews See No Evil, starring Kane from the WWE.
Also, this week we learn just how much of an awesome dancer Forest is and if you have friends help you move, you had better offer some goodies as a thank you.

It's See No Evil, not See No Stevil.

"So you are telling me it is a horror movie produced by WWE?
And it is starring WWE star Kane?
AND its original titled was Eye Scream Man?!
How can something so wonderful actually exist?"Needless to say, the first time I heard about this film's existence I was beyond thrilled.
Then I saw it....

Pretty crap, even with expectations in check for a low budget formulaic slasher. Looks and feels cheap, and Kane unfortunately brings absolutely no personality to his villain. Minor bonus points for mixing up the survivors a bit, but overall not worth the time.

Probably the most boring horror film in the last decade. The characters were boring and I really couldn't have cared less about most of them.
