See No Evil - 1 star

“See No Evil” is another bad slasher flick where everything is predictable and there is no real suspense. The movie stars wrestler Glenn Jacobs, who is better known as ‘Kane’. It feels very similar to a lot of other movies including the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Psycho” movies.

A group of prisoners are given an opportunity to wipe a month off their sentences by helping to repair Blackwell Hotel. The place is crawling with cockroaches but little do the group know that the place also has a lot of secret corridors where a serial killer (Glenn Jacobs) is lurking. One by one, they are being picked off by the mad man.

The killer is not remotely memorable. He has the build of Jason Voorhees and the behaviour of Leatherface with nothing really distinctive about him. He kills people with hooks and axes and he also likes to gouge out his victims’ eyes and keep them. In one scene, he kills somebody by ramming a mobile phone down their throat (that’s pretty funny). The young prisoners are of course not interesting and they are just there to be violently murdered. The hotel itself has more personality than any of the characters in the movie.

This movie was apparently funded by the WWE and I can safely say that they wasted their money. “See No Evil” is the type of film that will appeal to those that enjoy purely violent movies. There’s nothing of interest on display as we have seen it all before in other films. There is just no real fun to be had with this type of movie. The slasher genre just seems to blend into one big gory mess. Can anybody make any real distinction between this any of the other slasher movies from around the same time?
