- 50San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubSan Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubIf you like gore, this is the movie for you.
- 40VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonThroats 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.
- 40L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonL.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonThe 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.
- 38Boston GlobeTy BurrBoston GlobeTy BurrGeneric 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.
- See No Evil devolves into an increasingly bloody and creative string of butcherings and impalings.
- A flavorless snack, time filler until "Saw III" and "Hostel 2" are served up.
- 25TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghHippolyte 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.
- 20Film ThreatFilm ThreatA ridiculous messy Z grade film that should have been released straight to video.
- 12New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanGrim, bloody and relentless, without even a spark of fun or intelligence, Evil is barely good enough for late-night cable.
- 0New York PostV.A. MusettoNew York PostV.A. MusettoIt'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.
