DVD Reviews of See No Evil (Widescreen Edition)DVD Review: all that gore still doesn't make the movie great Summary: 2 StarsResponding 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.
DVD Review: Worth a rental, though horror fans make want a place for it on their shelves Summary: 3 StarsPretty 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.
DVD Review: See No Evil will scare you out of your mind! Summary: 5 StarsSee 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!
DVD Review: Kane goes Nuts! Summary: 4 StarsKane 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.
DVD Review: KANE MAKE NO SENSE! COMPLETE GARBAGE! Summary: 1 StarsOne of the stupidest horror films I have ever seen. The plot is so contrived and the setting so unbelievable that you can not even begin to care what happens in this ridiculous and far inferior retread of 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre'.
After a cop puts a bullet in a sicko's head, the maniac escapes only to show up 4 years later when the cop who shot him is in charge of a program for community service candidates who have to clean an old hotel so the homeless can live there(how nice). The only problem is it's infested with roaches, rats and god knows what else. This place would have to be completely fumigated before anyone would be allowed to even step in it! The goofballs sleep, bathe, eat and have sex in this disgusting place before .....Guess who comes a knockin' The Freakin' Maniac who was shot by the cop! DUH..DUH..DUH...DUH....DUUUHHH! You get the picture? For pure masochist only!
Description of See No Evil (Widescreen Edition)Seven feet tall. Four hundred pounds. A rusty steel plate screwed into his skull and razor-sharp fingernails that pluck out his victims' eyes. Reclusive psychopath Jacob Goodnight is holed up in the long-abandoned and rotting Blackwell Hotel alone with his nightmares until eight petty criminals show up for community service duty along with the cop who put a bullet in Jacob's head four years ago. When one of their own is kidnapped by the killer and her fate uncertain the remaining lawbreakers must fight this indestructible force of nature who has a violent score to settle.System Requirements:Run Time: 84 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?HORROR Rating:?R UPC:?031398201434 Manufacturer No:?20143 Produced by World Wrestling Entertainment mogul Vince McMahon, See No Evil a standard-issue death-fest designed for maximum gross-out appeal, and in that sense it delivers the goods with crushed heads, multiple eye-gougings, throat-rippings and other grisly fates that gore fans will want to discover for themselves. If your idea of a good time is watching a mangy dog urinate into the vacant eye socket of a corpse, this is just the movie for you! In an attempt to create a new horror icon like Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees, former porno director Gregory Dark and less-than-stellar screenwriter Dan Madigan have dreamed up a routine plot that's hardly original, but deviously addictive to anyone who digs this kind of stuff: Eight troubled and not-very-bright teens, fresh out of a detention center, are given a second chance when they're taken to the decrepit, filthy Blackwell Hotel and told to clean the place up so it can be turned into a homeless shelter. What they don't know is that the hotel hides a secret, axe-wielding resident named Jacob Goodnight (played by WWE superstar Glen "Kane" Jacobs) who's got a knack for plucking the eyeballs from his hapless and ill-fated victims. He's basically an evil kid in the hulking body of a wrestler (call it type-casting, if you will), and See No Evil is more sick than scary as Jacob does his handiwork, which includes the rather hilarious and grimly ironic dispatch of an animal rights activist, to name just one item in the movie's smorgasbord of splatter. At a brisk 85 minutes, the movie's over before you can work up any genuine terror. Still, a sequel seems likely (even if it's straight-to-video), and devoted horror fans will want to check it out.--Jeff Shannon
