See No Evil (2006)

- written September 2008

Summary: While investigating a call in an abandoned house, Officer Frank Williams and a rookie find a woman brutally blinded and soon they are attacked by a huge killer with an ax; the rookie is killed and Frank shots the criminal in the head. Four years later, Frank is working as a guard in the County Detention Center. He goes with some juvenile delinquents to the Blackwell Hotel, an abandoned with the purpose of cleaning the location, preparing it to work as a shelter for homeless. In return, the criminals will have their sentences reduced. Once they get started they realize they have disturbed the serial killer’s home!           Overall: It’s the typical slasher film with, in many way, nothing original to it. However what sets this movie apart from being just another DTV film is the bad guy. Played by a WWE wrestler, Kane excels at his job. He’s physically just the man to play the role and he’s awesome in it. I’m sure it’s a good thing that he didn’t have too many speaking parts because it makes his character even creepier. Not sure I buy into how he survived gunshots and all the other abuse but i can move past that to enjoy the scariness of him roaming those halls!           Comparison: Friday the 13th Meets Carrie
