See No Evil marks the first film from WWE films and the big screen debut of Glen Jacobs, better known to wrestling fans as Kane. Now, films which feature wrestler's tend to be really hit or miss. For every They Live there's a Suburban Commando waiting in the wings. Wrestler's aren't really known for their acting abilities, they're known for beating each other up. Thankfully, it seems that director Gregory Dark (yes, that Gregory Dark) and writer Dan Madigan realize this, as that's what Kane does here - he runs around and clobbers everyone.

The premise of the movie is simple - it begins when a cop named Williams (Steven Vidler) and his partner bust into a crime scene to find a bunch of corpses and a woman, still alive, with her eyes plucked out. A massive bald guy moves in and takes down the partner with an axe, chopping off Williams hand before taking a bullet to the head. Four years later, Williams is working in a prison for young men. He and a correction's officer from a prison for young women decide to grab four of their finest inmates and put them on a bus so that they can ship them down to the bad part of town and make them clean up a run down building that used to be the Blackwell Motel. It seems this place was made as sort of a vanity project for a rich weirdo who liked to watch, so there are hidey holes and secret passageways all over the place. At any rate, if these prisoners, none of whom dress in prison garb, spend the weekend cleaning the building for the kindly old lady from the historical society, they'll get a month taken off their sentences.

Soon enough, the prisoners are running around unsupervised and smoking weed and flirting with one another. Two of the guys find blueprints of the hotel and decide to try and find the safe that is rumored to have been there since a fire broke out decades ago. The problem is that it's supposedly up towards the top floors where they've been instructed not to go. They do it anyway, and soon learn the error of their ways. The massive bald guy who killed Williams' partner is still out there and he's using this run down old building as his new hunting grounds.

So essentially See No Evil is ninety-minutes of Kane running around killing off annoying twenty-somethings? Yeah, pretty much. There's a sub-plot here and a sub-plot there but the core of the story and what makes up the bulk of its running time is that Kane gets to kill people. Some of these kills are pretty creative - a girl is forced to eat her own cell phone for example - and many of them involve eye-plucking, which is always nice, but there's really not much more to the film than that. With that said, Kane is perfect for the part. He's big, he's scary, and he looks like someone who would make you eat your own cell phone or pluck out your eyes. He has almost no dialogue at all which means he spends most of his time looking big and scary but he does that well. Too bad the same can't be said for the rest of the cast members, none of whom are any better than mediocre.

The script for the film is definitely problematic. There are issues here, big issues. Why is there power to the top floors where no one has been for the last two decades? Why are none of the inmates wearing prison garb? Why would the corrections officers let the inmates run around completely unsupervised while sitting at the bar doing shots from a flash and alluding to a romantic subplot that never materializes? Logic is thrown out the window here, kids. Thankfully, Dark paces the film really well. Yes, it is a dumb movie, there's no doubt about that, but it movies really quickly and there are enough silly, gory set pieces here to ensure that even if the film is goofy, it's never dull. Plenty of fast editing, music video style cuts and film speed plays, and a stereotypically grim atmosphere devoid of almost all color don't do the movie any favors (we've seen enough of this already!) but if you're okay with watching a big scary guy run around and kill annoying people then See No Evil will fit the bill nicely.
