Summary
RATING: R for strong gruesome violence and gore throughout, language, sexual content and some drug use
Starring Glen Jacobs (aka Kane), Christina Vidal, Michael J. Pagan, Tiffany Lamb, Samantha Noble, Matthew Okine, Cecily Polson, and Zoe Ventura
Seven feet tall. Four hundred pounds. A rusty steel plate screwed into his skull and razor-sharp fingernails that pluck out his victims' eyes. Reclusive psychopath Jacob Goodnight (Kane) is holed up in the long-abandoned and rotting Blackwell Hotel, alone with his nightmares until eight petty criminals show up for community service along with the cop who put a bullet in Jacob's head four years ago.

San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub
If you like gore, this is the movie for you.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader J.R. Jones
The gilt-and-grime setting is eerily atmospheric, and screenwriter Dan Madigan has a nicely sick sense of humor.
Read Full Review >Variety Joe Leydon
Throats are ripped, heads are crushed and limbs are severed with brutal efficiency throughout See No Evil, but that's not nearly enough to dispel the sense of deja vu that pervades this generic slasher thriller.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Chuck Wilson
The killer in this nasty yet taut slice-and-dice 'em horror flick is a collector of eyeballs, which he removes from his screaming victims with an efficient single swooping motion of his talon-like index finger. If that image makes you grin not cringe, then this movie's for you.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Ty Burr
Generic teen dice-and-slice with interior design by way of ''Saw." The movie's tight and reasonably well shot, though, and there are flashes of nasty invention between the ritual guttings.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis
See No Evil devolves into an increasingly bloody and creative string of butcherings and impalings.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Robert Abele
A flavorless snack, time filler until "Saw III" and "Hostel 2" are served up.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Hippolyte subsequently reinvented himself first as a director of baroque erotic thrillers and then as music-video maestro to pop tarts like Britney Spears, but stalk-and-slash horror -- for all its porn-movie rhythms -- appears to have defeated him.
Read Full Review >Film Threat Felix Vasques Jr.
A ridiculous messy Z grade film that should have been released straight to video.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
A punishingly awful slasher film with monosyllabic banter dreadful enough to make viewers yearn for the sophisticated repartee of earlier Dark efforts like "White Bunbusters."
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Grim, bloody and relentless, without even a spark of fun or intelligence, Evil is barely good enough for late-night cable.
Read Full Review >New York Post V.A. Musetto
It's hard to believe that the distributors of See No Evil were so afraid of what critics would say about their movie that they refused to provide advance screenings. The movie's target viewers aren't the type who read reviews, if they read at all.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
As the killer, who plucks out his victims' eyeballs, Kane, the seven-foot bald WWE wrestler who's like a modern Tor Johnson, is so inept he's more cuddly than terrifying.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov
Unlike former porn auteur Gregory Dark's semenal 1985 cumshot opus "New Wave Hookers", this rote exercise in slasher-film tedium holds zero surprises and is about as arousing as Tracy Lords' singing career.

Erratic Communist gave it a4:
An extremely typical slasher movie, with neither originality or consistent plot. Still, it gets pretty atmospheric sometimes, so I wouldn't call it a complete failure.
Gwendolyn B. gave it a10:
The movie is simply horrific. [***SPOILER***] I was too scared to watch him just take their eyes out and put them in a jar. All of the actors and actresses did a wonderful job in this horror.
Michael L. gave it a2:
This movie was absolutely dreadful. It had it all: a mind-numbing plot, amateur actors/actresses, and over-the-top gore. This movie was definitely made for WWE fans...need I say more?
Cara R. gave it a10:
I love gorry movies and horror flicks, this is definetly my fave.
Kyle gave it a0:
The movie was point less. It was poorly made and it looked like they rushed to get it finished. They could have taken more time and made it a lot better and they needed a better plot line.
poppa duke gave it a0:
This movie was just like any other horror film where they're trapped in a locked house. It was too predictable and a basic boring plot. Very cheap actors also.
Anderson C. gave it a0:
100% pure bloody gore and nothing more than that...except maybe language, sexual content and drug use...this trashy film is no more than a test for the MPAA. it is nonsence, and it is stupid and very disturbing.
