See No Evil (2006)

Rating: R
Country: US
Running Time: 85 minutes
Director: Gregory Dark
Starring: Kane, Christina Vidal, Michael J. Pagan, Samantha Noble, Steve Vidler, etc.
Let me get one thing straight: I like watching professional wrestling (Though most of it is fake and staged). But that didn't disintegrate any hate towards WWE's new film effort See No Evil, starring one of their biggest stars and brawlers: Glenn Jacobs (Kane). Too bad I despise his maneuvers, moves and most of all his finisher move: Chokeslam. Lucky me. Hehas been playing his corresponding tough, invincible tall man role ever since his lame attempt at a debut. I expected him to go on a talking rant for the entire duration of the time, but he only spoke a couple words at the end after a poorly done twist. Wouldn't be too hard to pull off an acting job with that kind of fluency and charisma (Which is 0). The rest of the amateur cast of deliquents were also equally as bad delivering all of their cardboard cut-out, roughly said lines with passionless energy. Plus, their vocabulary generally ranges to many curses and "What was that"
moments. It's embarassing and shameful even seeing them on-screen. I think the main reason people were puking and vomiting on the floor was because of aggressively incompetent and floundering filmmaking being shoved and crammed down their throat. The plotline is very predictable, cliche, unoriginal and maintains the "villian with superhuman strength" chunk of nonsense. He was also supposedly abused as a child as we're led to believe, reflecting off his madness and cruelty. It is only shown in flashy and chopped segments of his past. It annoys me that while in that time he was a normal human, he suddenly became a muscular monster of a person. The script is also improbable, contrived and unconvincing. Some of the situations aren't explained to there fullest, especially how our hero Michael survives Kane bloodthirsty rampage in the hotel. The only redeeming quality of this piece of malicious, ineffective, unproductive garbage is the introduction to the engrossing and enthralling new death mechanics. A woman is eaten by dogs, many men have their eyes gouged out unrelentlessly in huge groups and a young girl having a cell phone forced into her mouth. He also wields and carries with him a dangerous and lethal hook, setting up gruesome murders within the mess of the movie. See No Evil is overall, to describe in a simple sentence and statement: this is an example of Hollywood horror gone completely wrong. Terrible.
Pros: good deaths
Cons: Universally everything else, needs a lot more negative feedback like a 0% rotten on Rotten Tomatoes.
Recommended? Stuff like this should be left on the shelf all alone
3/10
