People probably expected too much from Lionsgate, WWE wrestler Kane and porn-director-gone-mainstream Gregory Dark's gorefest See No Evil. To be fair, when you are working with a script where the star of the film utters less lines than an waiter in a big budget Hollywood movie, and features film direction from a man whose last major contribution was an inane Britney Spears video or an adult film like "Between the Cheeks," it's really hard to set the bar very high. Kane's first major film outing is certainly better than the cavalcade of bad 80's films that starred Hulk Hogan and Dark's first film should be judged for what it is - a starting point. So with that in mind, let's delve into this film and figure out if it offers home viewers anything worth warranting a purchase.

See No Evil is your a-typical gory teen slasher film featuring all the stereotypical settings and themes you'd expect: Oversexed young adults? Check. Crazy religious zealot who likes to kill said youngsters? Check. A dark and dingy settings that is inexplicably inescapable? Check! See No Evil doesn't go out of its way to do anything new or interesting - it's every mid-budget horror flick you've ever seen, with the only difference being that its stars Kane, who regularly plays a a psychopath on Monday Night Raw's two-hour wrestling show on USA Network.

The story goes that a group of convicted youngsters have been assigned the task of cleaning up an old abandoned building in return for a lighter sentence. This building, complete with two-way mirrors, secret passages and an unseen killer lurking about somewhere, is a dark and gritty setting for these kids' final destination on this planet. As these kids enter the building and attempt to spruce it up a bit, they get a little wild and uninhibited, which sends Jacob Goodnight into 84 minute eye gouging frenzy – don't worry he'll use some other gruesome methods to off these kids just to mix things up a bit.. This is pretty much the heart of what the film is about - all of these protagonists file in and take their death without any real surprises, though the gore you'll see during the film is pretty impressive.

But we've seen this character far too many times and in far too many movies to really get an idea of what really makes him tick. And that's the real problem with this film. It's just another carbon copy story of a psycho religious fanatic that is serving up justice by killing people off and collecting their eyes for fun.

The film's dialogue doesn't help matters any either. This relatively obscure cast doesn't do a great job of delivering the lines in a way that are even compelling or worth paying attention to. But it's really hard to even fault them. The real blame falls on a pretty lousy script and a green director that knows more about money shots than decent film work.

So in the end you have a film that highlights a character we've seen played thousands of times and on a weekly basis for close to ten years on WWE's Monday Night RAW. Granted this is a grittier and more brutal depiction of Kane than we've ever seen, but it's not a great vehicle to kick his film career off with. Hopefully Kane will get a chance to show us that he has some talent in a future film project with a better director. As for Dark's film direction - not a great first effort, but it could have been a lot worse. Dark definitely oversexed many of the scenes in the film, but you can't expect too much from a first time director who has spent the better part of his career making skin flicks and music videos.

At the end of the day, See No Evil's only real audience are the WWE's hardcore fans who probably saw it in theaters twice and now want to bring it home on DVD. For those fans there are some interesting extras that they'll enjoy and the film is slightly more gory than it was in theaters due to it not carrying a rating. But for the rest of you out there, including fans of horror in general, See No Evil doesn't deliver anything new or original. If you haven't seen the film your best bet is to just give it a quick and dirty rental and move on to something else.
