See No Evil
Short description
A group of young offenders is sent to a dilapidated hotel as part of a community service program, supervised by a police officer. What they do not know is that the building is home to Jacob Goodnight, a reclusive and physically imposing psychopath. When one of the group is taken, the others realize they are being hunted and must work together to get out alive.
The film was directed by Gregory Dark, whose earlier features from the 1990s include Animal Instincts and its sequel, Secret Games and Undercover. It was written by Dan Madigan and produced by Jason Constantine, Joel Simon and Sharlotte Blake. Glenn Jacobs plays Jacob Goodnight, with Christina Vidal, Luke Pegler, Craig Horner, Rachael Taylor and Jason Chong among the cast.
Made for a budget of 8 million USD by Lionsgate and WWE Studios, the film was released in May 2006 and took about 19 million USD worldwide. Audience scores are modest: on IMDb it sits at 5.1/10 from roughly 31,000 votes, and on TMDB at 5.4/10 from about 723 votes. A critics' rating of 3.2/10 from 56 reviews is lower still, putting professional response below the audience averages.
What's left behind the scenes
- Initially, director Gregory Dark wanted the maniac to kiss the mother before killing her.
- The maniac's name—Jacob Goodnight—is never mentioned in the film. It was originally supposed to be said in a monologue by Stephen Vidler's character, but the scene turned out to be too long and was cut.
- The low, cloudy sky at the beginning of the film is a product of computer technology.
- The role of Jacob Goodnight was originally written for Glen Jacobs.
- Glen Jacobs – a wrestler, insurance broker, politician, and actor known as Kane – performed all the stunts himself.
- The film's slogan, "Evil becomes UNTAMED this summer," is a reference to the Raw brand, where Glenn Jacobs currently performs in WWE.
