Mjeteconer Just perfect...

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

ronaldachampagne Actors were good considering what they had to work with.If you are going to write disparaging remarks,they should be directed at the editor.They all had to start somewhere.Good movie.James Clayton did an excellent job trying to make something out of the script.I've seen his work in other movies that were written far better and the editor didn't butcher the work.He has a lot of talent.I'll bet money that if he ever gets involved with a dynamic script that allows him to show what he can do,he will be a force to be reckoned with.Don't forget,this is Canada.It is a heck of a struggle just to get started and then even harder to find a project that will do a good actor justice.

lost-in-limbo A group of teens head out on a camping trip to celebrate their high school graduation, but their party mood is short lived when they discover that a masked killer is hunting them down one by one. Now just who is this killer? Is it the two shady fellas who followed them, the park's grounds keeper, the sheriff or is it his unfaithful wife. But there's one thing that's haunting Adam's mind and that's the killer knows that of his terrible secret involving accidental death of a family.Um, I don't know what to really make of this travesty of a hack job. But I can tell you it's simply textbook stuff all round that's merely plain ( err, but quite a dud more often) for what it is. Ugh, really I think I am being quite generous overall on this particular amateurish indie horror effort. What takes form here is a very typical backwoods survival slasher with just too much talk and innuendo and far too little action and gratuitous nudity. Which can be quite sad for the lack of skin, since there is some nice eye candy on show. It just seems to promise more than it actually delivers, by teasing us with such tame excuses for horror.You can say that the film is just plain scary for all the wrong reasons with such banal and cringe-worthy dialogues. Real deflated acting from a young cast of stock characters who are either constantly horny, lazing about and when the trouble kicks in, its all about the clueless YELLING(!) and spiting out a good quota of badass drivel like you always do in these situations. The story and atmosphere tries for that 80s slasher feel by going for a big body count, but it totally misses out on the style with its lack of brutality and gory edge. Simply the deaths are quite sudden and reasonably clumsy with some brisk editing. There's a little bit of nudity, but it's rather a quick topless scene from the Allison Warnyca as the Sheriff's wife. She's probably the most fun that the film offers! But what made me grit my teeth was that the opening 30 minutes was incredibly boring with its rambling teens toying around in many filler scenes that I couldn't believe I still had an hour to go. It feels like it takes too long before the real fun begins and when it does, it gets a tad better (well, maybe more like tweeny weeny bit). From the get-go you realise the cliché filled plot is a convolutely rushed project that's completely bled dry of ideas. While, the back-story surrounding this slasher is just very cheesy to believe. But hold on it was the film's revelation that left me stone-cold because of the ridiculous motive and it goes over-the-top in its daftness. You can probably guess the killer just before the revelation with all the hints that crop up, but it's quite unsatisfying and doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you think about it. The usual red herrings feature quite heavily with some pointless characters who are just there for that stupid factor than really adding anything of real importance.The direction isn't awful but it's just generally uninspired. What was far from uninspiring was the downright noisy and really loud rock soundtrack and overstated score that at times over powers certain scenes. There are moments when it suddenly goes nuts when the film would break into a montage with a supporting rock song. Damn, that did get annoying. The camera-work is pretty standard and quite relentless when it has to be, but when it focuses on the killer we mostly see the lower half of the body. It's looks like it was shot on digital too. The setting is that of campsite by a lake in some brooding woodlands. It does get atmospheric in spots, which is kind of good since there's no suspense to be found.Well, what's there left to say; it just takes a very big slice out of the slasher market without adding anything special of its own.

sol (There may be Spoilers) One of the many Friday the 13th/Halloween-type imitations that in this movie "Adam & Evil" takes place in the great outdoors at the heavily wooded Nede Campgrounds. We at first get this story about a fire started by young Adam that was set on the 4th of July four years ago that ended up killing the Kehoes family. Adam never fully recovered for the Kehoes' deaths and we soon learn that neither did the unseen and unknown killer who is very soon to make his, or her, grand and deadly appearance in the film.Very high body-count, well over a dozen, even for a slasher movie together with the usual, in slasher movies, paper thin story-line. The killer stalk this group of collage students going out to the country for a weekend of fun and games but ending up dead or traumatized by the time their vacation was over. The killer's first victim is Seth who, lying blissfully in his tent, expected to get into some hot and heavy action with the girl of his dreams Yvonne but only got his throat slashed by the killer. Catching both Rob & Rachael alone on a raft in the river the killer runs them through with a cross-bow and before anyone realizes that there's something wrong. The killer has already set a number of traps all along the campsite that does in almost the entire student body.It seems obvious at first to both the campers and audience that Shane, a former boyfriend of one of the campers Evelyn, together with his friend Billy who are seen secretly following the students all throughout the movie are somehow responsible in these brutal murders. Like in all these kind of who done it slasher films you soon realize that both Shane & Billy are merely red herrings thrown into the mix, or the script, by the writer and director of the movie just to throw us off the track. Billy is later found murdered and Shane is run over by Adam who together with Matt Yvette & Evelyn, the last four survivors out of the eight students on the camping trip, run him down with their van. You would have thought that the killings would end with both Shane and Billy put out of action but they still continue with local Sheriff Earl, who took the remaining students into the safety of his home, and his wife Maureen getting murdered. Matt then ends up shot to death by the shadowy psycho to where we finally get to see who he really is that has to be the biggest highlight and surprise in the movie.Half-way decent slasher movie with a surprising and unexpected conclusion that didn't at all come across as the usual cop-out ending that you see in most of theses kind of horror flicks. It did make sense, if you connected it with what you saw at the beginning of the movie, even though it did somewhat stretch you imagination and sense of reality a bit.

Dr. Gore *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*I bought this video for three bucks. There's a bloody skull, (in the shape of an apple with a stem on top), with a snake crawling through an eye socket on the video box cover. I was kind of expecting to see some sort of biblical horror flick. I don't bother reading the back of video boxes anymore. I find that the back of the box is usually just as misleading as the front. Although if I had taken the time to read it, I would have realized that this is just another low budget teen slasher movie. So a bunch of teens head to the lake to party down. There's a mad killer hanging out with them. Soon the teens will meet their fate as they bicker and argue about the best way to survive. Slasher movies are about the slasher, not the victims. The successful slasher flicks, (Friday the 13th, Halloween, etc.), realize that the victims are nothing more than vessels for future blood and guts spilling. The star of the show is the crazed killer. "Adam and Evil" makes the fatal mistake of assuming that we actually care about these people. A lot of the movie is shot like an annoying teen flick with musical montage segments of the gang having fun. The killer is kept a mystery throughout the movie and is only revealed in the last ten minutes. When the killer is finally revealed, it's a huge letdown. "Adam and Evil" is pretty pointless with lots of arguing teen scenes and not enough mad killer scenes. Most of the girls were hot, especially the "brainy" girl, and we do get a brief topless scene but it's not enough to save this one. It can be avoided.
