 Welcome to another episode of Frightfully Forgotten's Trash or Treasure. But before we get started, what are we drinking? Today we are drinking Mad Man Mars in Octoberfest beer. Alright, so as you can see I'm the trash and I'm the treasure today. And today we're going to bring to you 2006's See No Evil. This one was requested by John Edano, directed by Gregory Dark. He's done quite a bit, but mainly what we really want to bring up is Between the Cheeks 1-3, New Wave Hookers 1-4, various music videos and such. In the 90's a lot of music videos. Glenn Jacobs is in this and he's currently the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. He's most famously known as being a wrestler though. The Unabomber. Isaac Yankham DDS and Fake Diesel. What else? Did he do anything else? We might be missing one, but I'm not sure what it would be. That's gotta be Kane! See No Evil starts off with two police officers responding to some disturbance. They see this woman laying there with no eyes. Her eyes have been ripped out. Suddenly this big monster of a man comes out, kills the one police officer, chops the arm off the other police officer, the big axe. The one police officer is able to kind of just blindly shoot, got the guy in the head. Yeah, presumably killed him too. The whole police force shows up, killers not to be found, and they take the one police officer away on the gurney, with his arm just kind of sitting on the gurney. Four years later, and this police officer has done such a good job, you know, rewarded for having to lose an arm and duty, so they promote him to a prison guard. He's put in charge of taking a bunch of prisoners out of prison to go clean up this old abandoned hotel called the Blackwell Hotel. This Blackwell Hotel has a very storied history, all this money stored away in some secret vault. There's all these passageways too that have been built into the hotel. This group is supposed to clean up the entire hotel over the course of like a weekend, and this place is just a shithole. Like, yeah, there's nothing you can do, like even a high-pressure hose wouldn't do anything. Graveyard shift or something, that guy, and as each group kind of goes off to sort of clean, one guy's just destroying things with that pipe. Washing the paintbrush, because you're supposed to be doing some painting? Yeah. Like, what did you paint? Everything is covered in dirt and shit, like you're just not gonna paint over like all this fucking rotten garbage wall, clean them first. Somehow I feel their heart is not in their work. There's two guys that sort of get off and they start to actually hunt and get that damn money. They come across this bum. They kind of turn him over and he's got no eyes. Then all of a sudden the door opens up and this hook comes out, goes and hooks one of the kids and starts dragging him towards the elevator. And when he picks him up, his back all slams against the wall there. Yeah, from there on in, all these inmates keep getting picked off one by one by this monstrous man in the hotel. So this brings us to the trash of the movie. My biggest problem with this movie is the entire premise, letting these inmates out with supervision of one security guard and one woman. One woman, there's like eight of them to one guard. They're not even in like prison uniforms, like even someone doing community service or on those orange jumpsuits. They're all in designer clothes and everything. They're not shackled. They're not shackled and just go let them out. Just let them out. Let the son of a bitch out. Let them out. The inmates are like upstairs, like partying, and like the one woman almost gets raped and everything. When in real life would this happen? And also the fact that they're supposed to clean up this hotel, like nothing can clean up this hotel. Just not the fucking thing. Like look at it. It's a piece of garbage. Like there's that one woman like with the broom on the walls. Like yeah, that's gonna do a lot. You know, you need to tear that whole fucking thing right down. Yeah, exactly. Cain and his mom, there's no like backstory to this, to them like owning or living in this hotel or anything. How did they get to be in this hotel? And find all the passages and... Yeah, I mean intricate engineering that's been done with like those bells and pulley systems. Polly systems, yeah. Glenn Jacobs, big fucking intimidating guy. Yeah. They could have done a much better job of actually making him intimidating. He's just a bald dude in a t-shirt. They could have like put like a cool costume on him or make him a bit more disfigured or something. To make him scarier, but he's just the bald guy wandering around in the corridors. Yeah. And he's got those shitty silly teams. Those silly teams, yeah. Like even if they used his wrestling persona, he would have been scarier. Yeah, I think so, like even with the mask and all that, right? Exactly. Oh, I don't even want to get into the unmasking of Cain when that happened. That was garbage. Is it even human? Well, yes, it's human. Just a guy with a bunch of black grease paint on his face. The dialogue in this film is fucking atrocious. It's really bad. The acting is also bad, but oh, is it? Maybe not because the dialogue they had to work with was so poor. Yeah. How can you judge the acting on such shitty dialogue? He kept her alive because she had tattoos. This day, Andrew doesn't have tattoos. The editing in this movie is of the day. All that jittery, that just all that shit. Like, oh, I hate that. It's the worst. CGI goes into their body. Yeah, piercing the heart. Like, what the fuck? Yeah, you don't need that. Yeah. What if you show the person? Acting properly. Dying, then that is scary. Exactly. The reason for Cain being the way he is is too little, too late in this movie as well. To the point where I would have preferred that he didn't even have anything. Yeah, so it leaves it open. Why didn't they just keep him an enigma and just kill? CGI version of Cain falling from that window and there's no CGI really for the rest of the movie. But you wrote down, oh, no CGI. That is good. And it quickly got crossed out. So this is CGI Cain falling from the building. The background and everything. Like, aw, man. It's like, takes you out of the whole thing. Then he hits the ground and that hole into your gut. There's the pipe through his eye and everything. Aaaaaaah! Which brings us to the treasure of this movie. That's right. And one of them is, well, before that scene, the effects. The kills themselves kind of make up for a lot of the bad stuff. It does, yeah. And that's a hallmark of this movie is the kills. In that hallway, when the elevator door is open and it's a little bit like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, right? Yeah, very much so, yeah. Cain with the hook, right? And he gets that kid and he drags him in. Another great kill is the cell phone kill. Because it does have a little bit of social commentary to it because she's always on her cell phone all the time. Cain takes the cell phone, shoves it down her throat, and you can see, ah! Yeah, I like how he keeps pressing, dude. Like to make sure it's down there and kills her by shoving the cell phone down her throat. It's like, yeah. You want your cell phone? You got your cell phone. Yeah, exactly. The guy's letting her down. The window on the fire hose. He's slowly letting her go. And then you see the hands pulling that fucking thing. I love that scene because it's pretty tense. It's like she's going down and suddenly she's going up. Yeah, and then she's trying to get out, too, right of that thing, that harness and all that. But where do you go if you get out? Just down. Down. If you go up, you're dead, you're fucked either way. So it's a pretty tense scene. Exactly. And then the kill itself is great because she's trying to kind of get out and she does. It tightens and it snaps and it gets her at the ankles. So she knows she's hanging upside down. And then her arm. Cain lets her go and she just fucking falls and it stops just enough for her arm to hit the ground and break. Stray dogs come and eat her alive. It's a great, great kill. It's quite well thought out, I think. The whole thing is great. Between the lowering and then getting high and then falling and not dying and then the dogs at the end, just this icing on the cake. It's really good, yeah. It's probably the best kill of the whole movie. It is. It is, yeah. The mom getting killed, too, at the end, like after the big reveal, stuff like that, right? And then Cain starts to kind of come to his senses a little bit. He just picks her up and just throws her right into the wall and there's all these spikes. On the wall for some reason. But it's really good, like, whoa. All said and done, are we gonna rate this movie trash or treasure? Well, let's find out. What do you say, Justin? It's gotta be trash. I'm sorry, John. I know you recommended this movie to us and all, but I'm gonna have to say trash, too. Yeah. It was enjoyable in some ways, like the kills are great. And I was laughing, having a good time watching it, but would I watch it again? No. It's kind of the question. I don't think I would watch it again, so I'd have to say it's trash, too. Yeah, it's a good one off and it's a decent movie like to put in if you've got a party going on or whatever. You put it in and then you can kind of laugh at the kills. Not pay attention. Exactly. Now, it did spawn a sequel, which apparently I've heard is better. Danielle Harris is in it from Halloween fame, which has me intrigued. So I think I might want to check out the sequel at some time. We may just do a number two. And until next time, keep drinking.
