See No Evil 2...such an apt title because this film should be just that...not seen.
This film is truly awful in every sense of the word, from the story (and I use the term very loosely) right through to the directing. Even the usual slasher film clichés are used much more than normal. See No Evil was a below average but bearable & watchable slasher horror with some nice atmosphere. See No Evil 2, however, is a completely different story.
I described the first film as a "trip back to the good ol' fashioned no brainer slasher genre" and "a modern day Friday the 13th type of film". Well, this sequel is still along those lines, but throw some Wrong Turn 4, 5, & 6 into the mix too, because this film is not much better than any of those disasters.
What made the prequel better than this pile of trash was mainly the atmosphere and the imposing figure of Glenn Jacobs as Jacob Goodnight. His lines were kept to an absolute minimum the first time around which was the right thing because his sheer size & presence was enough. This time we see his acting ability when he is given lines, and let me tell you it's not good. All the good things I mentioned above go right out the window as soon as he starts his WWE acting & line delivery. And as for the face mask Goodnight wears (sometimes)? A definite no no in my opinion.
The rest of the cast isn't much better either, especially considering who some of them are.
The cinematography & direction is just as bad also, especially when you notice things like Goodnight's bad eye switching from his left one (the correct one) to his right (and no, it's not the mirror scene), so I guess bad editing & continuity can be added to the list too.
There is honestly nothing really going for this film at all and it comes as no surprise that this garbage was shot in only 15 days. I actually find it very amusing reading reviews that praise this film, but hey-ho...each to their own.
Don't say you weren't warned.
