San Francisco ChroniclePeter Hartlaub
If you like gore, this is the movie for you. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJ.R. Jones
The gilt-and-grime setting is eerily atmospheric, and screenwriter Dan Madigan has a nicely sick sense of humor. Read full review

VarietyJoe Leydon
Throats are ripped, heads are crushed and limbs are severed with brutal efficiency throughout See No Evil, but that's not nearly enough to dispel the sense of deja vu that pervades this generic slasher thriller. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyChuck Wilson
The killer in this nasty yet taut slice-and-dice 'em horror flick is a collector of eyeballs, which he removes from his screaming victims with an efficient single swooping motion of his talon-like index finger. If that image makes you grin not cringe, then this movie's for you. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
Generic teen dice-and-slice with interior design by way of ''Saw." The movie's tight and reasonably well shot, though, and there are flashes of nasty invention between the ritual guttings. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis
See No Evil devolves into an increasingly bloody and creative string of butcherings and impalings. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert Abele
A flavorless snack, time filler until "Saw III" and "Hostel 2" are served up. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
Hippolyte subsequently reinvented himself first as a director of baroque erotic thrillers and then as music-video maestro to pop tarts like Britney Spears, but stalk-and-slash horror -- for all its porn-movie rhythms -- appears to have defeated him. Read full review

Film ThreatFelix Vasques Jr.
A ridiculous messy Z grade film that should have been released straight to video. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
A punishingly awful slasher film with monosyllabic banter dreadful enough to make viewers yearn for the sophisticated repartee of earlier Dark efforts like "White Bunbusters." Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
Grim, bloody and relentless, without even a spark of fun or intelligence, Evil is barely good enough for late-night cable. Read full review

New York PostV.A. Musetto
It's hard to believe that the distributors of See No Evil were so afraid of what critics would say about their movie that they refused to provide advance screenings. The movie's target viewers aren't the type who read reviews, if they read at all. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
As the killer, who plucks out his victims' eyeballs, Kane, the seven-foot bald WWE wrestler who's like a modern Tor Johnson, is so inept he's more cuddly than terrifying. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
Unlike former porn auteur Gregory Dark's semenal 1985 cumshot opus "New Wave Hookers", this rote exercise in slasher-film tedium holds zero surprises and is about as arousing as Tracy Lords' singing career. Read full review
