Leofwine_draca I 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.
trashgang I 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
videorama-759-859391 A small minority of horror films have left me speechless. This is one of those. One word to describe it, is limited, and chiefly I'm talking about the low use of violence, like a car running low on fuel. When seeing the poster for this flick, our killer star, obviously involved in wrestling, I expected this film to much gorier. Surprisingly the film is made by a guy, who's made a lot of b sex pics, although responsible that well made porn docu, Fallen Angels. This film has a short sheeted feel. Suspense is low, as really waiting for something to happen, while the premise and back story is quite good. Starring a few ocker stars, including the sexy Rachel Taylor, in her earlier acting stage. She's part of a group of lock up juveniles who take an excursion to an abandoned hotel to clean it up, sort of like doing community service, where Taylor's rebellious character, who gives the film some sexy spark, has other things in mind. What's also been abandoned in this hotel is a caged bald headed psycho, nasty serial killer Jacob, who's thought to be dead, where one of the cops behind this case, will see to it, he succeeds this time. When the violence happens, it happens: be appreciative. The performances are good, especially from an older Tiffany Lamb (remember her) as the officer in charge of the girl juvies, while Vidler (of course, good) is in in charge of the juvie boys. Kane, whatever mainly has to grunt and yell, and KILL. The film, though not a bad one, just has a short sheeted feel about it. It could of been better, definitely much, where really we're left with is sadly a forgettable horror, (not as forgettable as it's lead) where it's a fifty fifty decision, if deciding to having a second viewing.
William A. White With any movie review must come disclaimers, no review is impartial. I'm a WWE fan and I enjoy 'naff' films, especially slashers.See No Evil is predictably unpredictable, at times. A gruesome murderer is introduced, a group of troubled youths enter an abandoned hotel... death is inevitable. The cast are okay, no stand out performances, some annoyance but generally very watchable. Good deaths and a few, "I didn't think they'd do that" moments alongside an attempt at a plot. 80 minutes is about right, Kane, limited in speech, is pretty believable and all in it was certainly worth a watch... Wait til the end of the initial credits for a simply bizarre scene.
