''See No Evil' doesn't deserve the title of horror film

It would seem that no director in the history of film has had a weirder trajectory than Gregory Dark. Following a lengthy career directing porn in the 1980s and '90s — his credits include "Black Throat," "Hootermania" and the "Between the Cheeks" series — Dark moved on to music videos, including clips for Britney Spears and Mandy Moore.

TO SUM UP
Psychopathic killer Jacob Goodnight is holed up in the long-abandoned and rotting Blackwell Hotel, alone with his nightmares until eight petty criminals show up for community service duty along with the cop who put a bullet in Jacob's head four years ago.

The Associated Press: D
"Nothing about See No Evil is scary. With its run-down, abandoned setting, which is lousy with roaches, rats and flies, it's just dark, dirty and gross. "
