  • Kane made this movie what it was, much preferred the sequel to the first movie though. The setting and tone of the movie was cool as well.

  • See No Evil 2 is far from a perfect film or a classic, it is very cliche and the premise reminds me of Halloween 2 and Friday the 13th The Final Chapter. The directing though is somewhat tense, but you can tell the film is not too well constructed. The acting is very awful save for two characters who do decent jobs. The guy who played Seth did a competent job. Kane did a great job of being intimidating and displaying emotions, but his line delivery is so hammy and over the top. Kane is my favorite wrestler of all time, most notably his run in the 1990s as a enigmatic burnt man with a mask who didn't need to say one word. If WWE studios actually took their time making a Kane movie based off his 1997 self, it could be successful. Anyway, the kills are mostly just strangulations and quick stabs, nothing innovative here. The music is all over the place except for one part towards the end. Though, it does have its moments of legitimate tension and suspense to make this film worthwhile.

  • Katherine Isabelle provides some genuine laughs and the Soska Sisters dish out a few visually compelling shots, but ultimately I can't figure out why this sequel ever got made.

  • Not nearly as entertaining as the first movie, but the last half hour picks up the pace and earns some credit for some unexpected surprises. This one also has a few too many flashbacks to the first film, and I didn't like how vocal Jacob Goodnight becomes all of a sudden. He also keeps referring to his victims as sinners, but that doesn't come up once he's after the two leads who lead more moral, good lives than the early killed-off characters.

  • I was really excited for this film because of the potential I've seen in the Soska twins. They've earned a fan, and they continue to do so after this film. They took a very campy, poorly rated film, and they made it look especially good...but unfortunately, it's story and direction felt on repeat. If you're looking for great gory deaths, than you'll enjoy the film, but if you're looking for something to add to the original See No Evil, you might not. I feel like the relationship between the Soskas and Isabelle shows quite clearly in this film, because it looks they were having too much fun shooting it.

  • While this movie certainly won't win over any new fans to the horror genre, it's a slightly better than average slasher that's, honestly, considerably better than the original film. Honestly, while I don't remember much about See No Evil, I remember not liking it. But that film came out over 9 years ago, so I'd have to go back and revisit it to see if it improves upon second viewing, though I really doubt it. I think the film benefits from the Soska sisters directing the film. These women know their horror and they definitely bring a lot of life to what is a really tired and cliched genre. Though, the problem with the film is, that the Soskas are working with a script that wasn't written by them. While I'm sure they had some input into certain script modifications, I think the film would've been better if they had major creative involvement. The casting of Katharine Isabelle was clearly their move. And it pays off because Katharine is pretty great in this movie and is, easily, the most memorable character in the entire film. Again, it's not like the film re-invents the slasher wheel in any way, and it's actually fairly content at playing into those cliches, but it's a surprisingly better film that one would imagine. Glen Jacobs, as I mentioned in the review of the first film, does have a presence about him, since he is at, or near, 7-feet tall, so he plays the part really well, at least from a physical standpoint. He's, obviously, not a great actor since, I think, this would only be his second major role in a film. But he looks menacing and that's, really, what's most important in a film like this. I think this also benefits from a more dialed back approach, it's simply not just a slasher, but it does have moments where it builds tension and does it effectively at that. It's not great or anything, but at least it's something more than the usual stuff. The characters aren't great, they're fairly one-dimensional at that and, outside of Katharine Isabelle, no one really stands out. They do try to give the characters something more to do, but it doesn't really add that much. The acting is fine, nothing special and, as mentioned, the only really memorable performance ends up being Katharine Isabelle's. With that said, I still think this is better than most anyone would've ever expected it to be and a considerably better film than the first one, so I'd recommend if you have Amazon Prime Video, even if it's barely slightly above average.

  • This was an alright slasher. It felt very PG-13 though..Some of the scared were set up really well and others seemed way too predictable. Not to mention, there were way too many plot holes. Worth a watch on a dark, quiet night

  • A slightly weaker sequel, but I give points for immediate continuation and newer story. This franchise could easily turn into a really successful series if producers played it right, but they probably won't.
