A mediocre mid-2000s slasher notable only for starring professional wrestler Kane as the almost-mute killer who, inspired by a crazy religious upbringing, begins killing off a bunch of interchangeable teen fodder at a disused hotel, "See No Evil" boasts some creative kill scenes but otherwise does little to distinguish itself from the many other generic slasher movies that populated the genre during the same era. Kane (aka Glenn Jacobs), makes for an imposing villain in the role of Jacob Goodnight, although he has little character to work with and doesn't exactly set the world alight when called upon to externalize his character's deep-seated traumas. The rest of the cast, meanwhile, have their hands tied playing characters with little soul or substance. I can't say I was a fan of the whole brown aesthetic the movie had going on either. For all its flaws, the movie is still watchable and has some fairly enjoyable gore effects too. But there's nothing special about it.
