... View MoreI haven't seen a recent slasher film in a while, which is perhaps why I was in a lenient mood when I watched this movie. It's a by-the-numbers blood fest, more about killing off cast members via increasingly violent, grisly ways than anything else, and a combination of a Friday the 13th sequel with the kind of visceral nastiness found in a SAW film. It's also quite a lot of fun.Things get off to an arresting start as cops enter a run down house to discover a girl missing her eyes. One of the cops is speedily dispatched with an axe (a great shock scene) and the other loses his arm before taking down the killer. Things ease off a little as more predictable slasher plot elements emerge: we're introduced to a cast of delinquent teenagers who arrive at a burnt-out hotel with a couple of token adults to clean it up. However, there's not much cleaning going on, as the killer soon shows up again and begins offing the teens in gruesome ways.There's quite a lot to like about this flick for horror fans. It's short and well paced, and porn director Gregory Dark handles the proceedings in a much better way than you'd imagine. Much of the paraphernalia – girls in cages, torture, killing etc. – is familiar from modern day horror, but the special effects are very good and very grisly and hard to watch in places. There's a lot of action, and the chases between the killer and the victims are all very well handled and reasonably exciting.The acting is nothing to write home about, but that's par for the course. I did like Steven Vidler's character. Kane isn't required to act much, but he's a bloody big guy and the sheer size of him alone is enough to give nightmares. There are some inventive moments, like the death-by-mobile-phone scene, or the unpleasant 'dog food' sequence which has some kind of perverse logic to it. There are also one or two decent twists and a fine ending for the villain. Not a lot else to say about this one, other than that it does what it says on the tin.
... View MoreI picked this up years ago due Kane being in it as the evil slasher and following WWE that's how I did know him and of course being filed under horror it was a must see for me but somehow it ended in my collection without watching it until today, yes, 9 years later. Why I didn't watch it was that it wasn't popular under the geeks but I must say that it is just a no-brainer with some nice effects here and there and a bit of CGI towards the end which worked out fine. What I didn't like was the acting and story throughout this flick. Why the killer became what he is is explained and that part was okay especially with the song and mother being introduced but the rest lacked suspense. Of course the youth being involved is a bit of the tough kind but somehow I didn't believed it. Another problem is the fact that there is a shower scene and I have said it before, if you are stripping for the camera then show it all in stead of covering behind towels. Face it, it's an 18+!!.Kane himself does what he does best, looking angry and throwing people through the air just like in WWE. It's the gore that upgrades this flick but I can understand that some buffs didn't liked it.Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2,5/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
... View MoreIt's not the worst movie known to man, neither is it an award winning horror film; it's average.SCARE: well to be honest it's more of a gory slasher film rather than a horror flick ACTORS: looking at Glen Jacob's "Kane" character in the WWE I'd pretty much say he was good for the role, and probably did the best job here, the other teens are more or less averageStory: The story is average, it's not out of this world like Pulp Fiction or Goodfellas, but it's solid.So overall, as said before, it's and average film with average cast and a solid plot. the reason I have given it 9 out of 10 is because, while I don't think it should be a 8 on IMDb, I do think it's worthy of around a 6, so i wanted to boost up the average rating.Overall: 6/10
... View MoreOther than being a devout Horror fan, I used to be a devout WWF/WWE fan for years, and Kane (Glen Jacobs) was my favorite wrestler of his time. So I might be lacking in objectivity slightly, to say the least, but I REALLY enjoyed See No Evil.This film is a Slasher just like any other, following all the basic guidelines, yet bending some of the rules. The characters, the location and the story are all resembling other slashers - yet slightly different, in my opinion upgraded. The roles of the characters and relationships between them might be cliché, but they're uncommon. Same goes for the location, the turning of events and even the ending. It seems rather obvious to me that that the creators of this film had us slashers fans in mind when they made it - they knew what we'd be looking for, and they made sure to give it to us, but to make it different in a noticeable way than what we're used to.And of course, the Superstar of the film - Kane. Kane brought everything he uses in the ring to this film. His intimidating undeniable presence, his vicious looks and expressions, his "evil aura" and his immense strength. Seriously, it was awesome seeing him lifting/throwing a person in the air and knowing that this had been no stunt, but Kane was actually that strong (in a certain scene he lifts a king-sized bed like it was a garbage can lid). While the film could have been better, of course, as most slashers could have since the classics, I think it has really uncovered Kane's acting potential. He could be absolutely perfect for these types of films, and I'd really love to see him doing more than Choke-Slamming opponents on WWE. Not since Friday the 13th have we been presented with such a big, strong, damage resisting beast.All in all? This film is definitely worth watching, even if only to witness one of the most bad-ass slasher-antagonist I've ever seen.
