See No Evil 2

See No Evil 2 is a horror movie released in 2014, directed by the Soska Sisters, and stars Glenn Jacobs (popularly known as Kane), Danielle Harris, and Katharine Isabelle. It is the sequel to the 2006 movie See No Evil, which Jacobs also starred in. The movie is set in a morgue and follows a group of medical students who get stalked by a psychopathic killer.

The movie begins with Amy (Danielle Harris), a medical examiner, and her friend, Seth (Kaj-Erik Eriksen), starting their shift at the morgue. Amy's brother, Will (Greyston Holt), and his colleagues, Tamara (Katharine Isabelle), Carter (Lee Majdoub), and Kayla (Chelan Simmons), surprise her with a birthday cake. However, their celebrations are cut short when a group of people bring in the body of serial killer Jacob Goodnight, who was presumed dead after being killed in the first movie.

Despite being dead, Jacob's body is brought to the morgue for examination. Amy is initially hesitant to perform the autopsy on him, as she is traumatized by the events of the previous movie. However, her colleagues convince her to go ahead with it. As they begin their work, they soon discover that Jacob is not dead, and he wakes up with a thirst for revenge.

As the night progresses, Jacob starts hunting down each of the medical students. The group is forced to fight for their lives, using whatever tools they can find in the morgue to defend themselves. Meanwhile, Amy tries to find a way out and get help. As the body count rises, the group realizes that the only way to survive is to work together and stop Jacob once and for all.

The movie maintains an intense and suspenseful atmosphere that is typical of horror films. Despite the setting being limited to the morgue, the filmmakers effectively use the claustrophobic environment to their advantage. The scenes are well-shot, and the kills are graphic and gory, which is sure to satisfy gore enthusiasts. However, the movie also delivers a few unexpected moments that are sure to catch the viewer off-guard.

The cast also delivers solid performances. Kane, who plays Jacob, is a menacing presence on-screen, and he manages to strike fear in the viewer. Danielle Harris's performance as Amy is also noteworthy. She portrays a character who is both vulnerable and strong, and the audience can empathize with her plight.

One of the strengths of the movie is its characters, who are not mere stereotypes or archetypes. Each of them, especially the medical students, have their own unique characteristics and motivations. The movie takes its time to establish them before delving into the horror elements, which adds weight to the proceedings.

On the downside, the movie is not without its flaws. The pacing can be slow at times, and some scenes feel repetitive. The characters make the standard horror movie mistake of splitting up when they should stick together. The ending is also a bit predictable, and some viewers may find it unsatisfying.

In conclusion, See No Evil 2 is a solid horror movie that delivers on its promises of thrills and chills. While it may not be a groundbreaking movie, it is an effective sequel that expands on the world of the original. It features strong performances, well-executed scares, and interesting characters. Fans of the genre will find plenty to enjoy, and newcomers will find it to be a worthy introduction to horror movies.
