Consensus: See No Evil is packed with cliches from countless other teen slasher films, making for a predictable, scare-free waste of time.

Former porn director Gregory Dark's contemporary B-movie gorefest has all the necessary trappings to leave genre fans satisfied, and others slightly nauseous. The scene is set when a group of juvenile delinquents arrive at a roach-infested ruin of a hotel, where they have agreed to work in exchange for lighter sentences. They are led by a cop who lost his hand four years ago in a struggle with a brutal serial killer whom he killed with a bullet to the head--or so he thought. Now, the very same hulking monster, played by WWE wrestler Kane, haunts the halls of the dilapidated hotel, and with no further adieu begins picking off the teenagers one by one. He metes out his own brand of justice: having been taught as a child by his punishingly Christian mother that the eyes--the windows to the soul--must be cleaned to please God, he gouges out the eyes of each of his victims. The camera does not shy away from this or any other terifically squirm-inducing action, while the hyperkinetic editing maintains a head-spinning pace. The characters remain one-dimensional and stereotypical, true to teen slasher tradition, but there are enough twists and gleeful scares to make it well worth the while. [More]

O roteiro não traz uma única idéia original, sendo previsível do início ao fim (com exceção, talvez no que diz respeito ao destino de alguns personagens). Ainda assim, o filme funciona graças à direção firme do ex-realizador pornô (!) Gregory Dark.

It’s unoriginal with no rhyme or reason, and never takes advantage of its golden opportunity to provide us with an entertaining story.

If it carries the faint odour of freshly carved teenage flesh, plus a soupcan of plucked eyeball, then you’ve sniffed out See No Evil.

This rote exercise in slasher-film tedium holds zero surprises.

A predictably gruesome compendium of splatter-movie clichés, See No Evil is a reprehensible exercise in lowest-common-denominator filmmaking that disgusts and bores in equal measure.

Devoid of suspense. I was bored.

You would think that a pornography director would be a decent fit for a slasher movie...Yet Gregory Dark seems unable to make the transition.

It's deliberate exploitation, but not clever enough to be much fun.

Feels like an eternity, making one wish the killer would hurry up so that the end credits can roll and we could all be done with this bloody mess.

Although much blood is spilled and splattered, precious little suspense is generated during See No Evil.

If there were an award for mangiest set decoration, See No Evil -- a routine slasher film set in a condemned hotel -- might cop it.

The gilt-and-grime setting is eerily atmospheric, and screenwriter Dan Madigan has a nicely sick sense of humor.

See No Evil is proficient junk, which makes it something of an improvement over recent horrors like An American Haunting.
