See No Evil 2

This is not gonna win any awards, but it is a decent film to throw on if you have nothing better to do.

A sequel to See No evil, picks up the same night after the first one ends, a young mortician (harris) is working a night shift on her birthday when her friends (Simmons, Isabelle, Holt & Madjoub) surprise her to celebrate her birthday.

What begins as a friendly little mixer for Amy's coworkers (Erickson, Ecklund) and her friends, turns into them attempting to escape for their lives when Jacob Goodnight (Kane) rises from the dead and begins to blandly murder the unlucky few who he has since trapped in the overwhelmingly large 10 story morgue, after they placed all their phones in a locked vault.

Split up and fighting for their lives they are all killed off in a very beige manner before the film comes to its eye popping conclusion.

The film is hit or miss for sure, and many times it's a miss. The music is dreadful, with the exception of a chase scene which pretty much involves the entirety of the cast, the only real moment of tension.

The gore is barely there, save for 2 kills, and the eye gouging good time from the first film doesn't happen until the films last 20 seconds.

Isabelle is the best character, once the killing begins, before that she is absolutely dreadful in her role. But she becomes a Mia Goth "I'm a Starrrrr."

The film is fun, albeit forgettable.

This reminds me that you can have one of the best horror casts out there and still fumble the ball.

On rewatch it wasn't as disappointing, but don't expect a 3rd one, the quality diminished dramatically between 1&2.

Danielle, Chelan and Isabelle deserve another go around though, one where they can be utilized properly!

See No Evil 2 (2014) is currently available on Tubi and picks up where the first film left off in the Mortuary where the bodies from the first film are being brought by the authorities. Unfortunately, the killer may not be as dead as he appears and he's pissed about what happened to his mom and he's ready to take it out on anyone he comes across.

This movie is codirected and co-written by Jen & Sylvia Soska (American Mary) and stars Glenn Jacobs (MacGruber), Danielle Harris (Urban Legend), Katharine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps), Chelan Simmons (Tucker and Dale vs Evil), Kaj-Erik Eriksen (The Commish) and Greyston Holt (House of Chains).

It stinks they couldn't do more with a character that had so much potential. The main character is a cross of Michael Myers and Norman Bates. His makeup and missing eye scene were great. The blood splatter and setting were also solid. Unfortunately the kill scenes themselves were mediocre and even the well setup throat slash is a let down. With a little better writing and execution, this could have been a gem. Unfortunately, this doesn't live up to its potential. I would score this a 4/10 and recommend seeing it once.

The movie is boring. There is tension in the entire film, but this is more of a sci-fi genre than horror. I was disappointed by the first part of the film in 2006, but after all these years I thought that we are waiting for something better. I was wrong.Throughout the film the main character succeeds in something that is impossible to time. The whole time he seemed to read the thoughts of others, because he knows exactly which doors should be closed, in which the room to wait. Better knowledge of the entire building and all the rooms in it than the workers who work there. I am disappointed.If you want to see the horrible details I assume that you will be satisfied, but it is all that is interesting in this movie.

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

After the first movie came out in 2006, I took a liking to it. It was a great source of mindless violence to get lost in for 2 hours or so, which is OK, sometimes you feel like watching something mindless. Thus, I was expecting great things from this movie, or at the very least, of it to live up to it's predecessor.

However, this movie flat out disappoints in every way possible.

The predictability is crushing, the facepalm moments are plenty, and I found myself shaking my head for the majority of the movie. It is the typical 'killer knows where everybody is, all the time- and manages to beat everybody to every destination- meanwhile the characters make stupid and convenient decisions for him" scenario.

But wasn't it the same for the first movie in 06? Yes, and no. This one is orders of magnitude worse.

This movie was on my top "to watch" list, and I am sad that it did not do better than anticipated, and by the looks of the other reviews, and the rating, it didn't live up to anybody else's expectations.
