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

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]

Reviews for 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.
... the extreme levels of gratuitous gore also make the picture ... difficult to recommend.
... the appropriately named Mr. Dark has no use for actors as anything other than body-bag fillers.
Outside the wrestling hook, See No Evil is a boilerplate bloodfeast featuring the usual mix of stylish camerawork and screaming sound cues.
The madman is played by the single-name professional wrestler Kane, who has all the acting skills of a fire hydrant. But why waste good acting on a contrived, unimaginative story?
Grim, bloody and relentless, without even a spark of fun or intelligence, Evil is barely good enough for late-night cable.
It might be hard to imagine a career move that is a step down from directing porn videos, yet Gregory Dark has accomplished just that with his feature-film debut, See No Evil.
With its run-down, abandoned setting, which is lousy with roaches, rats and flies, it's just dark, dirty and gross.
