See No Evil 2 Audience Reviews

ThiefHott Too much of everything
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
torstensonjohn The first film in 2006 from WWE studios was a disaster in the making. Truth be told WWE studios has NO successful films to prop up. They are generic, campy and always have a wrestler as a star. It did not work for Hulk Hogan, nor did it for Triple H. The Rock and John Cena may be the exceptions to this rule. Kane as the antagonist (Glenn Jacobs) is horrid at acting, but could be a triumph as a psychopath given proper direction. The premise takes place in a morgue where Jacob Goodnight is brought in on a slab and presumed dead. A mistake that is made about 11 minutes in you can see his chest moving as he lays dead on a table. The acting seems forced as they run from Jacob, editing throughout the morgue is jumpy. One caveat as Danielle Harris (who is becoming quickly noticed) is her scream queen self, feisty and hot. Not a huge fan of the character development as we barely get to understand or know a few. The soundtrack is dull as it lays for no thrills as the movie moves along. Really by the 1hr mark you feel so ripped off and bored with the pace you want to turn it off. I somberly gives this a 3/10
Argemaluco Wow... a second part which is better than the first one. Well, in fact, that's not such a big achievement when we consider the fact that See No Evil had been a tedious and predictable slasher film completely lacking of imagination, suspense and excitement. And, to be fair, See No Evil 2 isn't a very good film either, but I found it moderately entertaining. For better or for worse, See No Evil 2 follows the old slasher recipe to the letter, and it didn't bore me mainly thanks to the dynamic direction from Jen and Sylvia Soska (who had left me quite impressed with their previous film, the excellent American Mary) and the tricky casting of three "scream queens" whose mere presence elevates the "geek coefficient" of the film, generating some interest in who the "final girl" will be. Will it be Chelan Simmons, who plays the frivolous and seductive blonde? Or Katharine Isabelle as the morbid fan of violent murders? Or Danielle Harris as the focused and responsible medicine student? Mmh... it might not be that difficult to guess the conclusion. But, well... inside its rancid routine, See No Evil 2 finds some opportunities to laugh at the clichés of slasher cinema (at least I think it was intentional) while it displays some blood. In conclusion, See No Evil 2 is a mediocre but moderately entertaining horror film, and I can give a slight recommendation to it. However, it's definitely a step back for the Soska sisters after American Mary, sacrificing the sophisticated style they employed in that film for something much more generic and forgettable.
Nitzan Havoc Many theories and doctrines of discourse have been proposed in regards to "the 2nd film" in every duology, trilogy and anthology. Some say it ups the stakes and the raft, while others say its doomed to be a disaster, a falling from grace compared to the first successful film. Was 2006's See No Evil a success? I personally enjoyed it, as a fan of the classic Slashers. Whether or not the classic Slashers could have been deemed successful without being classic - is another debate.See No Evil 2, in my opinion, took all the good things in the first film and made them better, while simultaneously taking the bad things and making them worse. The killer is absolutely profound, and not since the legendary Jason Voorhees have I seen such an excellent use of size, sheer force and brutally undeniable screen presence. Glenn Jacobs, better known to most of us as Kane, doesn't even need to talk in order to be horrifically threatening. Talking actually damages his character, if you ask me, and I believe there was no need for his obviously forced lines in this films (after saying 3 words in the first film). The acting divides into the good, and the annoying. Main actress Danielle Harris and actor Kaj-Erik Eriksen play their awkward romantic interest just the way it has always been meant to be played, while performing their character's role just the right way. Chelan Simmons and Katharine Isabelle, on the other hand, are annoying to a fault. I realize they were supposed to be the stereotypical cowardly not-too-bright ex- teen bimbos, but damn, talk about overkill... Even without Jacobs' excellent character I would have rooted for the killer to finally rid me of their painfully annoying presence. If that was indeed their goal - well bravo.As for the bad things, as I've mentioned, this film capitalized on all that has always been bad about Slashers... Killer walks, victims run, killer always gets them... Killer happens to know exactly where victims are hiding... Killer is inhumanly strong and damage resistant, yet victims keep repeating the same mistakes in that regard over and over again... And my personal favourite made famous by aforementioned Friday the 13th - Killer can't die. Cut off his limbs, stick a metal hose in his eye, shoot him in the head - it only gets him angrier and deadlier. The only suspense in this film was maintained thanks to the innovative number of survivors in the first film, which serves to slightly confuse the audience in regards of expectations. Just slightly though.All in all, I'm not sure how ti judge this film. As an above average Slasher or a below average ordinary film? So I settled for the middle. If you liked the first film because of Kane - definitely watch this, you'll get your share of violent brutality. If you're looking for quality horror - sorry, wrong place.
acidburn-10 The first "See No Evil" came in 2006 and was a pure guilty pleasure; it was fun quite cool with some brilliant over the top kills. This comes 8 years later, which may seem pointless, and why after all this time, and plus given the first one wasn't all that successful and there was no open end and its sequel was going straight to DVD, so all signs were pointing to total disaster. But gladly that wasn't the case, as this was actually a very good effort and I totally loved the total change in tone, going for a darker and tense mood.The events take place just hours after the massacre at the hotel and Jacob's body is taken to the morgue, with just a few doctors and a few guests planning a surprise birthday party. But soon he awakens and hacks and slashes his way through the new fodder. Okay it may skimp on plot and not much in the way of character development, but that doesn't mean that this isn't a load of fun and well made. The sterile hospital setting was effective and well used, with the many corridors in which the remaining characters wonder through when being chased was like a creepy labyrinth, was just brilliant and highly entertaining and okay the kills aren't as creative as the first one, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the bloodshed and goes for a more basic stalk and slash sequences, but the throat slit scene was very nasty and dramatic, also towards the final climax, this movie takes a different and surprising turn that takes you totally off guard.Like I already said the characters in this aren't very developed, but that doesn't mean that they are in any way bad, there are some definite stand out turns, namely from the ever brilliant Danielle Harris whose just great in every horror movie she's done. In this she brings a likable and innocence presence to her character Amy. Then we have another gorgeous scream queen Katherine Isabelle who in this plays the token slutty character, but totally has more fun with it and hamming it up to total perfection, you can just tell she had a lot of fun with this. Kaj Erick Ericksen was another standout and gives a very decent turn as the boy next door type character who you want to succeed. Finally Glenn Jacobs (Kane) gives an imposing and menacing performance as Jacob Goodnight the killer which works well in this and any slasher movie.All in all "See No Evil 2" is a very good sequel that does lack the imagination of the first one, but the brilliant turns from Danielle Harris and Katherine Isabelle saves it and helps it rise above average. It's highly entertaining and well shot and a special nod to the Soska sisters who directed this and took it to a more creepy atmospheric direction.
