Sorry, this movie sucks
Sadly Over-hyped
Absolutely Fantastic
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
For a public building, those long, dimly lit corridors have shocking fire safety provision. Poor Kayla ran around sobbing for ages and I didn't see a single well-signposted Fire Exit. It's a lawsuit just waiting to happen. Being a lifelong wrestling fan, and clearly a good, loyal WWE consumer, I would have rushed out to see a wrestling star in a horror film... Sorry Vince, I've not seen The Marine either. (Although Triple H was ok in Blade or whatever)The opening credit sequence is actually pretty good - a ghastly array of tools, some medical, others less erm... less wholesome, many still dripping with blood. Intersperse this with shots of organs and other random pickled parts and it all goes along with the tense music to set a good tone. But I fear, is the only way down from this promising start?Now I like to think of myself as fairly open minded sexually. I've tried a fair few things that would make Daily Mail readers weep. But necrophilia is definitely, unequivocally a hard limit. I enjoyed the look on Tamara's face when, mid coitus, she notices that Jacob Goodnight isn't where he ought to be. Not so naughty now is it...?"Oh my god, are you kidding me?! you (had sex) in a morgue!!?" Outraged Amy "I thought he was dead!! - Tamara in response
Granted, I sat down to watch "See No Evil 2" even after being less than impressed with the first movie. But I had the chance to watch the two movies back to back, so I did so.This sequel is even more pointless and ridiculous than the first movie. At least the first movie had something that resembled a storyline and a backstory, whereas "See No Evil 2" is essentially just a reanimated Jacob Goodnight slasher killing people at a morgue.It made no sense whatsoever that the Jacob Goodnight character came back to life after the severe injuries and trauma that he suffered at the end of the first movie. And as he did come back from that kind of physical punishment and trauma would make him undead, I guess. But it didn't feel that way in any sense.While we are on the Jacob Goodnight character, then it has to be pointed out that the killer is so horribly generic and mundane as he could possibly be, and he doesn't stand out in any noticeably way as a serial killer/slasher character. And how very convenient that there was a mask lying around at the morgue to mask his facial injuries, and even more so lucky that it was the same side of the face that the mask was made to cover up.Furthermore, it was just downright ridiculous that Jacob Goodnight remained alive and kicking after having had an entire canister of embalming fluids pumped into his system."See No Evil 2" did have some adequate and interesting enough kill scenes to it, but it was hardly enough to make up for all the other shortcomings that the movie had.The special effects, both CGI and practical were actually good enough and did serve the movie well enough.Now, it should be said that there actually some good actors and actresses on the cast list.I am sure that there is some sort of entertainment value for fans of the first movie. But for fans of the slasher genre, then "See No Evil 2" is sort of a cold fish to the face, offering nothing much of any worthwhile.
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...
Just ignore the first one. This movie is just surprisingly good. Soska sisters kick ass. They were able to make a great sequel to not so great movie. I liked the music a lot and the characters were well-made and realistic adults not just dumb teenagers. The story is well written and not as predictable as you could imagine. When I saw the first I wished that they would never make a sequel but not anymore. We all know that Jacob Goodnight will never be as popular as Jason of Michael but in this movie Kane really nailed it. I hated the religious stuff in the first one and that's why I didn't think Jacob could be scary. And yet he was. The movie is scary and in a weird way beautiful. I have watched hundreds of horror movies but not a single one like this movie.
