Seven feet tall. Four hundred pounds. A rusty steel plate screwed into his skull and razor-sharp fingernails that pluck out his victims' eyes.

San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
If you like gore, this is the movie for you.

50
Chicago Reader
J.R. Jones
The gilt-and-grime setting is eerily atmospheric, and screenwriter Dan Madigan has a nicely sick sense of humor.

40
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.

40
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.

38
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.

30
The New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
See No Evil devolves into an increasingly bloody and creative string of butcherings and impalings.

30
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
A flavorless snack, time filler until "Saw III" and "Hostel 2" are served up.

25
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.

20
Film Threat
Felix Vasques Jr.
A ridiculous messy Z grade film that should have been released straight to video.

16
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."

12
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.

0
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.

0
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.

0
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.
