See No Evil - mishmash review.

Nothing standout-ish plot wise. Reminded me a bit of SAW 2, the whole... gang of people trapped in a rundown house with traps and a grimm atmosphere. The direction was good; really nice shots. Gregory Dark CAN direct. The WWE tag probably killed the ratings for this film, because when I saw it the first thought in my mind was "Oh fuck.", and the budget-trailer (wtf at fullscreen only, even in theatres) only made things look equally bad. The movie isn't as terrible as these elements make it look. Kane isn't that great an actor, but he has a whole three sentances, and his appearence fills the part well enough for that to suffice. Would have been nice if the whole script was a bit tighter. Drawn more on the religious-side of things. The mother was a nutcase. Also noted that the killings happen quite fast and early - close together. I felt it hurt the pacing/excitement. Some are good. The final scenes are amazing, Jacub's fall. Nice chunk of the budget used there, a NICE chunk.
