After watching The Neon Demon movie, I spied a link to another film, which I had not seen, and could have been the horror slasher kind of movie I was craving. Having not seen the first one I was coming into this with fresh eyes.
See No Evil 2 is a below average slasher film starting right where the first one ended. The killer Jacob Goodnight (Glen "Kane" Jacobs) is supposedly dead and transferred to the city morgue. At the same time, there is a group of friends and co-workers throwing a birthday party for one of the morgue medical examiners called Amy (Danielle Harris). The resurrected killer is soon hunting her, her friends, and colleagues in the building. Mayhem and bloodshed ensue.
While this film shows promise in the beginning it soon slows down and gets boring after a while. There is some attempt at character development in the beginning but it is clichéd and doesn't go beyond the main characters. There is the co-worker Seth (Kaj Erik Eriksen) who is secretly in love with Amy. There is her brother Will (Greyston Holt) who is critical of her job and over protective. There are her friends who you know are there only to increase the body count and of course with a morgue at hand a couple of the partygoers where bound to have sex after giving the supposedly dead Jacob a thrill.
Strange that in The Neon Demon there was a lesbian sex scene between the makeup artist and a dead body in a morgue.

Whilst this is usual fare in slashers, here you can almost predict who is going to be killed off next, so it takes away a lot of the suspense out of the film. The lighting provided a very eerie environment throughout the entire film. See No Evil 2 is an ok horror movie but not the slasher movie I was hoping for so the search goes on.
