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
The film's grungy setting promises more suspense and thrills than actually materialize on screen.
Assuming there are no other credit cookies, the final image in See No Evil is a dog urinating in an eye socket. There couldn't be a better way to describe the experience of watching this film.
Faithfully derivative of the low-grade, entertainingly bad slasher items of two decades ago.
...[a] generically drab and diluted horror flick. [Kane's] a hulking sadist with the stimulating moody disposition of a blunt meat hook.
At best, it's an example of what not to do with your low-budget slasher flick.
First-timer Dan Madigan's screenplay has the rhythms of a particularly simplistic video game ...
As misunderstood movie monsters go, Kane's Jacob can't even get in the ring with bedeviled Quasimodo of 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' or even Frankenstein's monster.
Save your money and just watch Smackdown instead--even it has got to be more entertaining than this swill.
Anyone who truly wants to See No Evil should simply avoid this movie altogether.
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.
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.
Sadly, Kane has all the cinematic presence of a shaved ape, and possesses acting skills that make Vin Diesel look like vintage 1974 Pacino.
