Story: A group of friends pays a late-night visit to the city morgue to surprise Amy (Harris) on her birthday. But the surprise is on them when the one-eyed corpse of brutal psychopath Jacob Goodnight (Jacobs) unexpectedly rises from a cold sub-basement slab. Their wild party quickly turns into a terrifying slay-fest as the sadistic mass-murderer resumes his savage rampage complete with hooks, surgical knives and power saws.

Likes : See No Evil 2 is a slasher film directed by the Soska sisters, written by Nathan Brookes and Bobby Lee Darby, produced by Michael Luisi, and stars professional wrestler Kane. It is the sequel to the 2006 See No Evil. Unlike the original, which had a theatrical release, this film was released in 2014 direct to DVD and Blu-ray.
The story follow from the first film set in the black well hotel as the group of teenage sent to clean the hotel came face to face with a brutal psychopath Jacob Goodnight played by kane (WWF). Only this time a group of morgue workers & a group of friend come face to face with Jacob once again in a morgue hospital, it become a brutal cat & mouse game for survive against a man hell bent on destroying every sin & going on a blood psychopath of slaughter.
This film dose have it moment where tension is high, like this first film, but very rarely dose a Sequel succeed its original film, sadly this is why two director don't work on making a film, because this film is so flawed its a disappointment that a film like this had some much potential of going in the right direction to the first film, but went an over way, this sadly is why this film when straight to dvd & Blu-ray.It dosent have it good moments but the film as a whole was OK in acting but fails in others.
It seem every time i see Katharine Isabelle who plays Tamara in this film she always see to get the stereo type role all the time of a complete slut that just has sex all the time or some town like some town bike which i think its about time someone gave her a better role in a film to see if she can do a normal role.
 I will say Kane dose have the look for horror film's, im not sure why no one has casted him in more horror role, like the first film he was brilliant he has the right build & look that menacing, i do feel he should be cast as Jason voorhees in a Friday the 13Th film.
The first film was brilliant done but this one seriously is a failure & dosent come close to how the first film was & looked.
 

Dislikes : The fact this film failed is the fact it was nothing like the first film in concept this is why you could see this was a straight to dvd, it just feel like they tried to rehash or copy concepts from Halloween / Jason voorhees's movie's in a hospital it just come off really bad.
 There is hardly any atmosphere like the first film in not knowing where he is or having those moments he could be around the next corner, because he appears in almost every scene.
There should of been more people in this film because it felt over way to fast which leave alot of open opportunity that this film could of been so much better in having, it might of had a cinema release instead of a dvd release. Very disappointing sequel that could have been like the first film in my opinion which is a ashame as it started off with a good start.

Overall : Great acting let down by Screen story writing, has a few moment but not a enough to be a great horror.

Rating: 3.2 out of 5 for entertainment / 4.1 out of 10 for story / concept
