Former porn director Gregory Dark’s See No Evil hits theaters

AVN Hall of Fame director Gregory Dark makes his mainstream feature film debut with the release of See No Evil. It marks the first time a mainstream feature film directed by a known porn director has achieved a nationwide theatrical release.

While Lions Gate Entertainment, the company releasing the film, doesn’t herald Dark’s past in the adult industry, it isn’t hiding Dark’s participation in the movie either. Lion's Gate has allowed him to use the same professional name he used on many of his adult projects, which include such XXX classics as New Wave Hookers (that also stars future scream queens Ginger Lynn Allen and Traci Lords - the latter had her scenes cut from the movie cause she was only 15 years old at the time), The Devil In Miss Jones 3 & 4 and Deep Inside Vanessa Del Rio.

After retiring from directing adult movies in the mid-90s, Dark became a successful music video director, helming projects for major artists such as Britney Spears, Snoop Dogg, and Linkin Park.

See No Evil, which casts the 7-foot-tall World Wrestling star Kane as a psychopathic killer who terrorizes a group of delinquents sentenced to perform community service at an abandoned hotel where he is hiding out. The trailer can be seen at the movie’s official Web site (seenoevilthemovie.com).

Other names Dark has used as an adult movie director include the Dark Brothers and Alexander Hippolyte.
