See No Evil 2 : stop lying about it being better than the first

stop lying about it being better than the first

you "soska" fans don't have to lie to get views, people are going to watch this movie regardless for two reasons, 1.if they saw the first one, 2."slashers" are far and few between these days.

what makes it funny is that you groupies are praising how nicely shot the film is, lol! stop it.

you all are acting like the first one was poor production when it was anything but. both films are shot nicely.

you see the first one is almost legend, the success of this movie could have solidified jacob goodnight in a top list of slashers but to be honest this movie would barely make an honorable mention.

this movie is a two time watcher at best, where as the first one will stand the test of time

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

I thought this one was terrible but I still liked it better than the first: I absolutely hated that one. Seriously, people are complaining about the dumb things that happen in this film, but what about all the idiocy in the first one about downloading a treasure map off the net or that the whole thing is somehow some sort of plot by Jacob's mom to draw that cop to Jacob's lair, or the whole nonsense of the fact that the teens are supposed to be doing repair/cleaning work on this derelict hotel that is literally crumbling away and looks like it should have been condemned years ago, or those maggots living in Jacob's brain. I'd say both films are about evenly bad in terms of script.

The characters were pretty badly drawn and stupid in this one, but in the first one they were absolutely hateful people who were even more stupid. At least in this one the Soskas manage to gain some audience sympathy for Danielle Harris and Kaj-Erik Eriksen's characters.

Acting: generally poor throughout both installments, Kane is pretty bad - his size is imposing but he constantly wears a facial expression that makes him look like a perturbed baby. I do have to give the first film points for keeping him mostly silent. In this one they actually try to have him do some acting and dialogue, and it's almost like a joke he's so bad with his muttering about whores or something. Again the actors who played the teens in the first one were awful, most of the performances in this one are just phoned in (I don't rate Danielle Harris at all) but Katharine Isabelle should get some props for hamming it up and thus being responsible for the only performance that is in any way memorable.

As for the cinematography, this one was a big disappointment given the attention paid to that aspect in the Soskas' American Mary, but it did have some interesting lighting choices: solid bright colours of red, yellow, green and blue were used for different phases of the film, to heighten the mood. It's a style that was heavily used in eighties horror, both in many American slashers and to a more extreme degree in the Italian giallo where they took a lot of their influence. I presume this was an intentional choice to make See No Evil 2 a throwback to that era. It doesn't really work though in large part because though some of the compositions are decent the whole thing seems to be rather a rush job: most of the shots are very workmanlike and repetitive, and all the corridors look the same - I wouldn't be surprised to find out they just used two corridors ocassionally redressed with those intrusive red exit signs that didn't actually signify any exit. The first See No Evil had horrible cinematography; it was all graded with an ugly greenish-brown palette popularised by the Saw films and it had a lot of annoying speed ramping.

All these points meant that I was able to give See No Evil 2 a rating of 3/10, whereas I rated See No Evil 2/10.

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

they're both stupid movies, however they're both a lot of fun and entertaining. i like them both equally, but both have their ups and downs. the first had better kills, the second has better acting and a better setting and a better cast.

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

This is for y'all who say just because were soska fans we like the film , that's where y'all are all WRONG ! but that's yalls opinion . Us fans , we love the movie not only CAUSE of the characters , setting , acting , the return of Jacob G. , but the way it feels . I mean , in the first 30 min . the action has already started . the twins do a fantastic JOB with getting to know there characters ! Especially Danielle's character & of course Katharine s character . The kills are in some sort bloody but I would say more violent & how the special effects are , which are SO realistic . the acting is good , not great but they did a much better job in this one then they did in the original !. Last , I would like to point out on Jacob G.'s character , they made him so sinister & more scary the way he looks. What I like even more about the character he has some dialogue in this ! And he has is own costume , and weapons etc.....

Do the world a favor and never take up a career as a movie critic.

A blind man with no arms has a better chance at understanding braille than any human would have of understanding your nonsense.

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

You can what you want to say , your the dumb one , someone who thinks that the movie was crap !then quit posting stuff on the movies page ! And nobody even mentioned or said nothing about a movie critic career , that's where YOUR intelligence needs to come in !!!!!!! I thought the movie was awesome 10/10 . you can give the movie 0/10 and I bet you'll still watch the movie . !

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first


your the dumb one



I thought the movie was awesome 10/10


HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Despite you saying in a previous post that you gave it 8/10 "just for trying"???


you can give the movie 0/10 and I bet you'll still watch the movie


Erm, i'd kind of have to watch the movie before rating it...0/10 or otherwise, I wouldn't rate it without watching it, this sentence makes ZERO sense...

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

Yeah , have you ever heard of mistakes , that's what I did I didn't post it right . are you are THAT DUMB to understand what I said . You keep posting stuff about the movie , mostly negative , which I don't know why if your on the SNE 2's page ! If you aint got anything good to say . Dumb guy.

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

I post only about the trailer, since I never illegally watched the full movie like you have, some fan you are huh?

And why am I on the SNE2 page? Well because boards and criticism are not reserved for positives only, when you grow up you will realize that.

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

You know what I'm done arguing with you. And I didn't legally watch it , its all over the internet , ! Smart one ! You have your opinions and I have mine. Bye !

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first


And I didn't legally watch it , its all over the internet


Yeah yeah, somebody else illegally uploaded it and you just watched it. Maybe not fully illegal but you didn't pay a penny in support of the movie and film-makers that you are a fan of.

And as a film-maker myself, that irritates me.

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

Whatever , I will be spending about 15-20 on the DVD next week .

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

seth, i all due respect, if you think this movie was a 10 out of 10....my god, you really need to see more films.

and seth IMDB is NOT A FAN BOARD!! it's for all opinions. it always makes me laugh when people think only positive, glowing reviews/opinions are allowed on this site.

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

And I respect what you just said . cause all the dumb movies I think are good .

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

seth, don't get me wrong. there are tons of "dumb" or "bad" (or whatever) type of shows and movies that i like or love. i'm enjoying FX's show THE STRAIN and i freely admit it has some of the worst writing on a show i've seen in a while. LOL.

i didn't mean to come across jerky or anything. i'm glad you and others like this movie. we all like different things. :)

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

I agree with you on that . lol. Me and you have something in common .jett

English mother *beep* do you speak it?

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

I did like this one a little more than the first movie maybe I am biased because of Danielle and Kathrine







Old Toby,..the finest weed in the South Farthing

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

i this movie was HORRIBLE!! i never watched the first one and i only watched this one because i pretty much like the entire cast (especially Katharine, Danielle & Chelan) but my god this movie sucks ass. i loved the Soska's AMERICAN MARY and it's really not even their fault the movie is so bad. it's the writers
Nathan Brookes, Bobby Lee Darby who are mainly to blame.

oh and Jacob Goodnight is one of the lamest "villains" ever. i can't believe anyone would think he's an interesting/good horror icon.

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

Correct, People who liked/loved the first one will certainly clamor to this one but I so had high hopes for it... and was a let down. The first had some amazing kills (the girl dangling from the hose and being eaten by dogs being the best) and the atmosphere created by that rotting hotel was so in your face it was a character in an of itself... the morgue was not.

Having spent much time in hospitals (job requirement) and certainly hospital basements and sub-basements, you would never have that difficult of a time getting out of a hospital. It almost felt like they completely discounted all of the windows as being exits till the very end. Jacob sealed up a couple of stairwells but that is certainly not the only way in and out of a morgue and the people who had been working there for months/years should have known that yet they still had to look at a map at one point to figure out where an exit was?! Just lazy writing and sorry plot development in this movie (but I will watch anything with Katharine Isabelle in it so....)

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

I find the first one alot better.

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

. I felt that the sne 2 improved upon the original in almost every way. Except the gory splatter that the original gave us .

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

First movie was WAY better in every way.

This movie I couldn't even recommend. If you liked the first....avoid this because it takes a steaming pile on the first.

This is like Friday the 13th part 4 without the legacy of F the 13th.

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

Being better than the first film is like being a less smelly pile of *beep* - you're still a pile of *beep*

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

I completely agree. I'm really disappointed in this one considering the length of time they had to write a decent script and come up with something good (uhhh 7 years between the films.) However, they didn't. I was thoroughly disappointed. There's one scene where a table falls and a bunch of glass shatters in slow motion for about 45 seconds. They couldn't have focused more on something more pertinent than that time wasting shot? They are so concerned with being artistic that they couldn't put together a good movie.

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

Both movies were horrible

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

SEE NO EVIL 2 IS BETTER THEN SEE NO EVIL DUH

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

it is better than the first




i've got feelings too, ya know - inbetweeners

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

Well, it made it to the #2 spot in the 2014 Horror Society Awards.

http://www.horrorsociety.com/awards/2015-awards/

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

that's only because the selection of horror genre has been lackluster lately and also filled with nothing but supernatural nonsense, I didn't say the movie wasn't good I just said it wasn't better than the first, the rating is slowly declining...

if this makes any list its out of pure groupie pity votes

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

Ever heard of a thing called an opinion?

I thought the first one was better as well but if people think differently then I'm cool with that

Also in my opinion you are overrating the first movie it was watchable but rather generic, lol at calling it a 'legend'

For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.

Re: stop lying about it being better than the first

The first was much better, but I still enjoyed this one as well.
