See No Evil 2

Plot synopsis:
Amy (Danielle Harris) prepares to leave her job at the city morgue while Seth (Kaj-Erik Eriksen) and their boss Holden (Michael Eklund) work the graveyard shift. As Amy is leaving to meet friends at a bar for her birthday, Holden receives news that a number of bodies are being delivered, the victims of a mass murder committed by Jacob Goodnight (Kane) at the Blackwell Hotel. Amy decides to cancel her plans and help her colleagues with the deliveries. Amy and Seth process the corpses, including that of Goodnight. As Amy leaves Seth to finish the work, she is surprised to find Holden has allowed her friends Tamara (Katharine Isabelle), Kayla (Chelan Simmons), Carter (Lee Majdoub) and her brother Will (Greyston Holt) to throw a birthday party in the morgue. During the party, Will warns Seth to stay away from Amy, believing she deserves better than him, causing Seth to leave the party and return to work. Will tells Amy of his disapproval of her dropping out of Med School to work in the morgue, angering Amy, who also leaves the party.
Tamara, who is fascinated by death and serial killers, leaves the party with Carter to go look at Jacob's body. The experience of being in a room with the body of a real murderer arouses her and she and Carter begin to have sex. Jacob suddenly awakens, and kills Carter while Tamara escapes. Jacob searches the room, outfitting himself with a burn victim mask and several surgical tools before cutting the building's electricity.
Hearing Tamara's screams, the rest of the partygoers attempt to find her; Holden, away from the rest, is captured and mortally wounded by Jacob.
Amy, Will, Kayla and Tamara acknowledge their predicament and attempt to reach the upper levels of the hospital, only to find Jacob blocking their way at every turn. Seth arrives with the keys to open a locked emergency stairwell, but Jacob is behind him and attacks them, causing the group to split up. Kayla seeks refuge in a bathroom, where Jacob strangles her. When Kayla mutters "Thank God!" at Jacob's hesitation, he relives old memories, remembering the abuse he suffered at the hands of his religious mother. As Kayla dies from her injuries anyway, Jacob asks her, "Why would God help you?" before setting off in search of the remaining members of the group.
Jacob kills Tamara and captures Will, using him as bait to lure Seth and Amy into a trap, where he proceeds to execute her brother. In the resultant confrontation, Seth is wounded by an electric knife; Amy takes him into a room to cauterize the wound, where she reveals that she dropped out of medical school after realizing the inevitability of death. Noticing that one of the windows leads to ground level, Amy kisses Seth for the first time then squeezes out to get help. Finding Jacob in the parking lot, however, she retreats back inside. Afterwards, Jacob stabs her to death as she attempts to unlock a side exit door. After fighting Jacob, Seth impales him with the nozzle from a piece of embalming equipment and pumps his body full of embalming chemicals, seemingly killing him.
Seth escapes the morgue through a broken window and drives away in his car. As he stops to open the gated entrance, he realizes that not only is Jacob still alive but also that he was in the car with him. Jacob attacks Seth from behind, and gouges out his eyes, killing him.
The final shots of the film show each dead member of the cast before a final closeup shot of Jacob's face as he says, "I see it now."

Review:
See No Evil 2 is such a typically mediocre horror film where victims get killed off one by one with not much of a surprise and coming from such potentially imaginative director (seeing from their previous works in American Mary and T segment from ABCs Of Death 2), it's quite a huge disappointment here.
When news arrives that the corpse of killer Jacob Goodnight (Glenn "Kane" Jacobs) is about to arrive, Amy cancels her birthday plans to help her co-workers Seth (Kaj-Erik Eriksen) and Holden (Michael Eklund) with the body.
It's not too long before Jacob Goodnight rises from his slab and is out to crash the party and the group must find a way out of the enclosed morgue to survive.While I was a fan of the original film, I didn't find it anything great, but still fairly fun.
What also scores the film points is the shock factor for a certain moment that occurs towards the end of the movie.Overall, See No Evil 2 isn't a perfect slasher film, but it is a fun sequel that features a nice cast with likable enough characters, and a decent body count.
Better then the First One. OK I liked the first movie for what it was but it wasn't something that I'd watch very often.This sequel though I enjoyed quite a bit more then the first one and in the few days that I've had it,I've already watched it almost as many times as I've watched the original movie.I loved seeing Danielle Harris and Katherine Isabelle in the movie being a fan of both of them.I thought Glen "Kane" Jacobs did a very good job as Jacob Goodnight and I found him more menacing in this movie and thought some of the kills in this movie were pretty cool.I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Soska Sisters will return with a 3rd installment.If they do,I'll be watching..
But it exists and I was actually psyched to see it, considering American Mary was interesting and unusual enough to be memorable, I actually kind of liked the first movie, and this one stars two of the great Scream Queens of our time, Danielle Harris (Halloween franchise, Hatchet franchise) and Katharine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps franchise, Freddy vs.
It occurs the night after the original movie's massacre as a pretty, young morgue attendant (Danielle Harris) is forced to work through her birthday to clean up all the bodies fanatically religious serial killer Jacob Goodnight (Kane) left in his wake before apparently being killed himself.
And when her friends decide to bring the party her to her, sneaking into the morgue after hours, one party goer (Katharine Isabelle), a drunken slut with a death fetish, sneaks off to check out Jacob's body.Unfortunately, Jacob is apparently just as hard to kill as Jason Voorhees and equally good at playing possum.
It's difficult predicting who will die and when, but that hardly matters because none of the characters are remotely interesting.See No Evil 2 is so bad it not only kills the hopes for a See No Evil franchise but also seriously hurts anyone's hope that the Soska Twins will be horror's next big thing.
Instead, her friends bring the party to Amy and her co-workers.Long story short, alcohol is consumed, sex is had and Goodnight returns from the dead to wreak havoc on the hapless morgue workers and the party people.The real strong point is the direction by Jen and Sylvia Soska.
Their first film, Dead Hooker in a Trunk, had flashes of genius and the body horror film American Mary was one of the most original and important movies to hit the horror genre for a good 10 years.Although the script was written by Nathan Brookes and Bobby Lee Darby and the only real weak point, it was the Soska's vision that brought to life the entire film.
The film provides a lot of fun, some cool kill scenes and solid SFX with only a touch of CGI which makes this a great addition to the slasher sub-genre and a sequel that outweighs it's predecessor in every way.To read my full review, head over to my blog - Maven's Movie Vault of Horror..
The movie was written by first time film writers Nathan Brookes and Bobby Lee Darby and directed by the Soska sisters (twin sister film writers, producers, directors and actors that specialize in twisted slasher flicks).
Anyways, Jacob Goodnight (WWE's Kane),comes back to life to kill incredibly dumb teenagers in a morgue, while contending with flashbacks to his overbearing religious nut of a mom The film's haphazard, illogical and doesn't have a scary bone in it's body.
While the storyline is not original the obvious heart and talent behind the movie doesn't allow that to get in the way, boasting likable characters you find yourself rooting for.This film is a breath of fresh air in the horror genre and yet another success from the Twisted Twins who are definitely filmmakers to keep your eye on.
The film did middling numbers at the box office and I assumed that was the last I was ever going to see of Kane's character Jacob Goodnight.On the contrary, in fact, as See No Evil 2 now exists, serving as a trashy and redundant follow-up to an already-trashy and barely tolerable horror film.
Those who condemn the original Saw film for its graphic depictions of torture and mutilation often never acknowledge the film's twisty storytelling ability or use of audience-deception in order to provide an outcome, but See No Evil almost felt like Saw without the artistry to it, as if it had all been robbed in order for cheap shock value.This sequel concerns a trio of employees working the graveyard shift at a morgue, Amy (Danielle Harris), Seth (Kaj-Erik Eriksen), and their handicapped boss Holden (Michael Eklund).
We watch an endless array of vicious brutality captured in the dingy, lowlit halls of the morgue that makes an already indistinguishable slasher in story and approach further indistinguishable with its poor visual scheme.One of the worst things that can happen to a horror film, worse than predictability, monotony, jump scares, an incoherent storyline, or poor acting, is when the visual scheme becomes too dark and indecipherable.
Even Jacob Goodnight has desperately little personality, as we see his neglectful and abusive childhood through disjointed flashbacks, which feel like nothing but narrative reiterations in case we forgot the original See No Evil (which, in that regard, the more I think about it, the more that inclusion seems like a good choice).Nonetheless, after an opening that admirably relies on slowburn techniques, allowing the characters to converse casually before things take a lethal turn, See No Evil 2 becomes derivative and repetitive, and merits a watch only if you haven't properly got into the season through decorating or watching better horror films.Starring: Glenn "Kane" Jacobs, Danielle Harris, Katharine Isabelle, Chelan Simmons, Kaj-Erik Erikson, and Greyston Holt.
The first was an okay film (which I enjoy) as rated by critics, it gave what could be a new iconic horror movie villain in Jacob Goodnight.
But, with bodies from the massacre heading in, Amy decides to stay and help her co-worker Seth (Kaj-Erik Eriksen) with the added workload and thus her friends, including vixen with a morbid side, Tamara (Katharine Isabelle) decide to surprise her at the morgue with an impromptu birthday party.
The film also deviated at times from the slasher formula and that added some freshness to it and the Soskas, as with American Mary, give us some disturbingly gruesome moments but, without going overboard or being gross for gross sake like SNE #1.
And how very convenient that there was a mask lying around at the morgue to mask his facial injuries, and even more so lucky that it was the same side of the face that the mask was made to cover up.Furthermore, it was just downright ridiculous that Jacob Goodnight remained alive and kicking after having had an entire canister of embalming fluids pumped into his system."See No Evil 2" did have some adequate and interesting enough kill scenes to it, but it was hardly enough to make up for all the other shortcomings that the movie had.The special effects, both CGI and practical were actually good enough and did serve the movie well enough.Now, it should be said that there actually some good actors and actresses on the cast list.I am sure that there is some sort of entertainment value for fans of the first movie.
Working on the graveyard shift, workers at a birthday party at a local hospital morgue find the hulking body that was just delivered is a still-alive serial killer responsible for a recent killing spree and sets out to continue killing forcing them to stop the madman.This wasn't all that bad of a sequel and definitely had some solid moments at work.
As well, the fact that this becomes all the more apparent due to the film's surprisingly low body-count where it doesn't really have a ton of choices to begin with here so the timing of this one does feel a little off here throwing the deaths into small spurts and then not going through on it's best work at that point, which leaves the kills all around pretty unsatisfactory with a small cast getting bloody and brutal deaths for the most past off-screen.
The main change from the first film to this second film (or second half as you can also choose to think of it) is the introduction of Jen and Sylvia Soska into the directing chairs for this installment.Fresh from films such as The ABCs of Death 2 (where they directed the 'T for Torture Porn' segment) and the wonderful body modification film American Mary, The Soska twins have most definitely put their stamp on See No Evil 2 whilst still managing to avoid making any major changes to the look and feel of this world of Jacob Goodnight.But they have brought their own immensely talented filmmaking skills and touches to this world and given the film a beautiful look.The film screams 'Soska', with its cinematography, with its body horror elements and with the unnerving tension in many scenes that in other directors hands, could and would come off as cheesy.
The Soska twins know that this sort of build up is vital for a good horror film as it helps with tension and suspense, it gets the audience aware of and familiar with the surroundings the action will take place in, it makes sure the audience is rooting for the characters to survive, it allows us to feel their panic when being chased and, especially in the case of See No Evil 2, your investment in these characters really pays off in a few twists and turns the film takes later.
The plot, much like the first film, suffers a little bit from you, the audience, thinking 'why aren't they just running out of the front of the building again?' I mean Jacob Goodnight is one, slow walking, undead, Godzilla like person in an enormous hospital, surely getting to the front door wouldn't be too much of a challenge.
The rest of the main cast, Danielle Harris, Kaj-Erik Eriksen, Michael Eklund and Katharine Isabelle are very strong in their roles, which is, of course to be expected and they help to make the film fun, frightening, and even, occasionally, moving to watch.
See No Evil 2 (2014) *** (out of 4) Surprisenly good sequel to the 2008 film has a group of friend's celebrating a birthday when one of them (Danielle Harris) can't leave work.
What they don't realize is that the dead body of Jacob Goodnight (Kane) has come back to life and he's seeking more victims.SEE NO EVIL was a decent, run-of-the-mill slasher film that was pretty much entertaining due to its incredibly graphic and over-the-top gore/murders.
I really can't think of too many horror films where the characters are doing smart things because if they were the movies would be over fairly quickly with them all getting away and surviving.
For better or for worse, See No Evil 2 follows the old slasher recipe to the letter, and it didn't bore me mainly thanks to the dynamic direction from Jen and Sylvia Soska (who had left me quite impressed with their previous film, the excellent American Mary) and the tricky casting of three "scream queens" whose mere presence elevates the "geek coefficient" of the film, generating some interest in who the "final girl" will be.
As with Halloween II, See No Evil 2 takes place immediately after the events of the first film, with psycho Jacob Goodnight (Glenn Jacobs) being carted to the local morgue, where pathologists Amy (Danielle Harris) and Seth (Kaj-Erik Eriksen) are pulling the night shift.
However, as with Halloween's killer Michael Myers, Goodnight proves to be far from dead, rising from the slab to hack and slash his way through the group of friends who have gathered for Amy's surprise birthday party.Sibling directors Jen and Sylvia Soska have carved a name for themselves in the world of horror through determination, hard work, a bold approach, and a genuine love for the genre.
Watching See No Evil 2, this does appear to be the case, the film definitely lacking the twisted edge of American Mary, but to their credit, the girls still manage to deliver a slick, well-paced movie that proves reasonably entertaining despite the relatively reserved approach (there's sparing splatter and no nudity, despite a more than qualified buxom blonde being amongst the victims) and the derivative nature of the script.Of course, it definitely works to the sisters' advantage that they have American Mary star Katherine Isabelle along for the ride as serial killer obsessed sexpot Tamara, the actress revelling in her her kinky character, providing the film with its most deviant scene (her molestation of the 'dead' serial killer), the sexiest moment (a tempting glimpse of derrière as she straddles Goodnight), and the goriest (she goes out in style with a juicy throat slashing).
A few moments stand out purely out of shock value and absurdity alone, but the rest of hide-and-seek or running in random hallways doesn't provide enough entertainment for the seemingly long duration of the movie.Following the alleged demise of Jacob Goodnight (Kane/Glenn Jacobs), his body is transferred to a local morgue.
A definite no no in my opinion.The rest of the cast isn't much better either, especially considering who some of them are.The cinematography & direction is just as bad also, especially when you notice things like Goodnight's bad eye switching from his left one (the correct one) to his right (and no, it's not the mirror scene), so I guess bad editing & continuity can be added to the list too.There is honestly nothing really going for this film at all and it comes as no surprise that this garbage was shot in only 15 days.
i liked the first part better of see no evil released in 2006 i saw that years back and its quite one of the best film ever made that started Wrestling Legend Kane aka Glenn Jacobs my favorite wrestler of all time.this is a sequel to it Kane returns as Jacob Goodnight he died in the first part but somehow returns to life and starts doing what he does best killing people.main problem with this film is it is set inside a morgue now why didn't these guys disposed the body plus it would be a better intro if he came from outside and these people were trapped inside he is slow here gives them a chance to escape but don't worry they all die in the end with a twist.the movie is filmed in red totally the use of red lights is overdone camera work is terrible hardly any focus on actors and action scenes talking about action it is mess yes the blood was nice but the kills are not impressive at all this sequel was not needed at all it is basically the same thing we all have seen before many times.talk about the performances Kane is as usual doing his WWE style acting the rest cast members are nice but one lady steals the show her name is Katherine Isabelle she is so hilarious here & damn lucky to kiss Kane but gets killed soon in a very limited screen time Katherine gives her best here specially in the scene when she is explaining to her friends how Jacobo goodnight is alive & attacking everyone the whole sequence looks so funny loud & over the top but she nailed the role perfectly without ruining the serious tone & atmosphere.Overall See No Evil 2014 is a wasted effort if you are a fan of Kane or Katherine Isabelle then this is the film for you worth checking out my rating is 4/10..
Like Jason, he comes back to life, wears a mask, is huge and kills kids who are sinners.The setting is the city morgue as Seth (Kaj-Erik Eriksen) and Amy (Danielle Harris) work the graveyard shift on her birthday.
The violence good enough to please even the most jaded horror movie fan and I'm not going to give you a spoiler but just when you think this film is getting cliché' there is a twist that I didn't see coming and if you do then you're doing better than I am..
Finally Glenn Jacobs (Kane) gives an imposing and menacing performance as Jacob Goodnight the killer which works well in this and any slasher movie.All in all "See No Evil 2" is a very good sequel that does lack the imagination of the first one, but the brilliant turns from Danielle Harris and Katherine Isabelle saves it and helps it rise above average.
(8/10)Danielle Harris: Amy birthday girl who chooses to help on at work with all the dead bodies arriving, when he friends throw her a party she is having a good time but when Mr Goodnight makes a surprise appearance she has to run for her life.
