Kane
Michael J. Pagan

Directed by Gregory Dark

Plot: Seven feet tall. Four hundred pounds. A rusty steel plate screwed into his skull and razor-sharp fingernails that pluck out his victims’ eyes. Reclusive psychopath 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. When one of their own is kidnapped by the killer and her fate uncertain, the remaining lawbreakers must fight this indestructible force of nature with a violent score to settle.

Review: When I heard Kane from WWE wrestling was making a movie, I didn’t expect much. I haven’t been a wrestling fan for some time, but I was always a big fan of Kane. He used to come out destroy people and leave. Not a lot of talking or drama, just destruction. When I finally saw the trailer for this movie I actually thought it looked kind of cool and wanted to see it.

Let me start by saying this is a part made for Kane. He comes across in this movie the way I imagine his wrestling characters outside ring life would be. (based on the storyline they use) Kane’s performance was actually pretty good. He has pretty much no lines, so he has to sell the character’s emotions strictly through facial expressions. Watching him, you feel his torment and hate. As for the movie itself, it’s nothing real special. The story is average and all the performances are pretty much what you expect from a B rate horror film. Overall I enjoyed the film, but there was nothing real special. If you’re a WWE fan you will probably enjoy it.
