Reviews Counted:56

Fresh:5

Rotten:51

Average Rating:2.6/10

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

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for strong gruesome violence and gore throughout, language, sexual content and some drug use

Runtime: 1 hr 40 mins

Genre: Horror/Suspense

Theatrical Release:May 19, 2006 Wide

Box Office: $15,019,200

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]

With its run-down, abandoned setting, which is lousy with roaches, rats and flies, it's just dark, dirty and gross.

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

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

There's a glaring lack of plot, characterization, plausible dialogue and decent acting.

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

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.

The fact that See No Evil's serial stalker is only slightly more horrifying than, say, Sloth from The Goonies is not exactly a good thing.

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

Anyone who truly wants to See No Evil should simply avoid this movie altogether.

Faithfully derivative of the low-grade, entertainingly bad slasher items of two decades ago.

At best, it's an example of what not to do with your low-budget slasher flick.

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

It isn't the least bit scary -- a considerable liability for a horror film -- but it's watchable in its own rancid, special little way.

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