See No Evil 2006 Film Review

 



Wrestling and horror are in theory two worlds that should go together perfectly and yet neither has taken advantage of the the others existence at least not all of the time. Well there was a time when the worlds most famous wrestling company dared to produce a horror film and it's that very horror film that i'm about to take a look at today and so then join me as I review the film that proved that horror an wrestling goes together really perfectly with the film in question being called simply just "See No Evil" enjoy.

The plot of this film when a group of teenage delinquents are forced to do some community service at broken down hotel they discover that the hotel also has a serial killer and the group have to fight for their very lives. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films plot giving us exactly what we'd expect from the plot of a slasher but that's also the problem as it gives us nothing new from we'd expect from the plot of a slasher film either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this film is wrestling legend and politician Glenn Jacobs as Jacob Goodnight , Christina Vidal as Christine Zarate and Samantha Noble as Kira Vanning. Also starring in this film is Luke Pegler as Michael Montross , Michael J. Pagan as Tyson Simms , Rachael Taylor as Zoe Warner , Penny McNamee as Melissa Beudroux , Craig Horner as Richie Bernson , Mikhael Wilder as Russell Wolf , Steven Vidler as Officer Frank Williams , Cecily Polson as Margaret Gayne and Tiffany Lamb as Hannah Anders.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this films cast members doing their best to make this films script doing their absolutely best to make this films script however the script give this films cast nothing to work with interms of what their characters personalities actually are.



This films does have a rather unique setting that being a hotel which is a setting that I don't think has been seen in alot of other horror films. This is a setting that is a really cool setting just due to the fact that the  killer could quite literally appear from anywhere and that is something that really does make the film alot more scarier and it's a wonder that more horror films especially slasher horror films don' have a hotel setting since there is quite alot that you could do with that setting all of which would make for a really goo movie. 


I'm not making this up when I say that all of this films main characters including all of the ones that we are meant to like are just really unlikable. I get it that might be the point since all of them are basically prisoners but you still have to have characters that your audience actually likes even more so in a horror film since it will make it all the more impact full when they do infact die in this film and all this film did was make me root for the killer and not for the characters that your actually meant to rooting for because that's just how unlikable this films characters actually are.

To make matters even worse is the fact that this film does a switch on who the main hero is by killing of the slightly likable police officer character and replacing him with a bunch of characters that you really don't like. This kind of plot twist only work if the person that your replacing our main character with is actually likable and that just simply isn't the case with this film and as such the plot twist just doesn't work out as well as it could have done because of the fact that the filmmakers chose to make none of it's characters actually likable.


The idea of casting Kane as this films main villain is a genuinely good idea since Glenn Jacobs himself is huge tower of a man. Heck even without any makeup he is a pretty scary looking person and so casting him as this films villain does make sense what doesn't make sense is making this character seem alot more likable then the characters that your actually meant to like since your not meant to like the villain and so making this character who is evil beyond all believe just doesn't work and it's something that doesn't make alot of sense at all.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty three minuets and fifty nine seconds. Which is the bog standard running time for a low budget schlocky slasher horror film like this one to have and to this films credit it really does have the perfect amount of story to cover that amount of running time however I can't help but wonder if this film did have a much longer running time would all of the characters which are very thinly drawn out become alot more fleshed out or if they would remain just as thinly drawn out as they are in the finished cut of this film but again to this films credit when the kills start coming they come at you thick and fast and that really does help with this films pacing.


So now then since this is a slasher that means that I do have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films kills being the most entertaining part of the film since you can quite clearly tell that's where the filmmakers out alot of their effort in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this is just an OK film that WWE Films produced and even tho it was quite clearly made to promote Kane and nothing else this film is a very entertaining film to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because of the fact Google Images actually has alot of images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always freaking do with our one and true freaking goddess Elvira wishing us all some very freaking unpleasant dreams indeed.

There are alot of horror films that sadly don't get alot of attention from either the mainstream audience or die hard horror fans alike....
