Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Aubrey Hackett
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

This movie I do believe is a sad sequel. There are so many painfully obvious horror movie clichés, main example being the overly horny couple who decide to have sex in a morgue, that's right a bloody morgue. What kind of twisted individual is like " hey babe lets have a quickie right here next to this dead serial killer". And knowing that this is indeed a horror movie you automatically know what is going to happen next, and indeed what you expected does happen. The movie as a whole has many flaws but the one that I just cant accept is how in the movie during the opening thirty minutes Kane(Jacob Goodnight) has a bandage over his left eye where he was stabbed or is it pipped?, in the first movie. at exactly 31 minutes and 32 seconds into the movie he proceeds to remove the bandage from his RIGHT EYE, to reveal a gruesome wound. ANd then after this the bandage is back on his left eye. Well at least they tried. Oh and is Kane now like Jacob Vorhees or something? This guy survives a gunshot to the head, falls like 4 stories and gets piped such that there is now a giant hole in his head and he gets up like nothing has happened. TF man, TF...

I did see the original "See No Evil" movie several years ago, but between that time and now I completely forgot everything about it, including whether I liked it or not. However, I suspect it must have been pretty unmemorable if I couldn't remember any details about it - and "unmemorable" is the word that I think best sums up this sequel. I will admit that the movie is pretty well produced for what must have been a small budget. And in the last fifteen or so minutes, the movie pulls off a couple of twists (which I won't reveal) that I admit I wasn't expecting. However, apart from those twists that I just mentioned, the movie story, characters, and various plot turns are extremely familiar and predictable. That may not matter to some slasher fans who are simply looking for the prime staples this genre usually offers - sexual and gore elements. However, there's little sex (and just fleeting nudity), and the blood/gore level of the movie is just average and not really all that explicit. There's the (expected) promise of another sequel at the end of the movie, but I really think WWE Films and Lions Gate Films would best turn their energy towards making something else, preferably something more original than this.

Working on the graveyard shift, workers at a birthday party at a local hospital morgue find the hulking body that was just delivered is a still-alive serial killer responsible for a recent killing spree and sets out to continue killing forcing them to stop the madman.This wasn't all that bad of a sequel and definitely had some solid moments at work. This one here is mostly enjoyable when it stays on the simple-minded track of being what a good slasher should be where this certainly gets some solid work in here. The first attack of his resurrection, where he approaches the humping couple off in the side-room by turning off the lights and then appearing behind them when they finally score a light-source on is a fine suspenseful sequence, as well as the multitude of stalking the party-goers inside the hallways of the hospital where he sets about getting some rather nicely-handled stalking scenes against them. From the rattled panic of trying to find one of the endless rooms to hide in or the absolutely amazing scene in the bathroom where he traps two in different segments and must try not to alert him to either presence yet still try to get out alive which is quite the fun and impressive sequence as well as the fun pitched battle at the end where he begins throwing them around the hospital and generating some solid action that makes fantastic use of his imposing size advantage within the cramped setting. There's some solid work here as well with the few small details in the kills where it showcases the aftermath of the different kills here which gives this one some rather nice kills and graphic moments coming across their mutilated remains. Though that does come off nicely, it also highlights the first of the film's flaws here in that really start with that one feature. Though we do get some really graphic kills here, most of them occur off-screen and only feature the group stumbling upon them later, rendering them to such throwaway status that there's barely anything that can be taken from them. They mostly just seem to gloss over them and simply cuts away before the big moment leaving only a few minor pieces of blood-splatter on-screen rather than getting to the actual shot here. As well, the fact that this becomes all the more apparent due to the film's surprisingly low body-count where it doesn't really have a ton of choices to begin with here so the timing of this one does feel a little off here throwing the deaths into small spurts and then not going through on it's best work at that point, which leaves the kills all around pretty unsatisfactory with a small cast getting bloody and brutal deaths for the most past off-screen. The last problem here is the ending, which scores nicely with the surprise death and the big finale brawl around the hospital resulting in an appropriate and grisly death, but the final shock moment blatantly ignores what happened moments before merely to get a cheap jump that won't work based on the actions that just occurred moments earlier. It's a lame and unsatisfactory ending that leaves this with a sour impression, but is otherwise still a fine enough slasher.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and mild sexual antics.

Basically this is a boogeyman movie, as Kane is everywhere. He knows the place better than the workers. And he's at places that realistically he couldn't be before the victims.And yes, the characters are stupid. For instance, when they find out the 300lb+ killer is alive, not one of them pick up weapons to defend themselves. Wait, let me correct myself. The brother does pick up a weapon. With all of the big weapons to choose from he picks the smallest scalpel to defend himself. (Totally hilarious) Of course you know it won't work against Kane.Despite all the clichés and stupidity, I still enjoyed it. It lacks a signature kill, but I loved the soundtrack and it kept my interest. My biggest question was how did Seth stay alive till the end. He only carried a flashlight thru out the film, thinking it would keep him and his love (Daniele Harris who looks great) safe. You wanna predict how that worked out for them?
