Instant Favorite.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Lots of pretty girls to ogle in this camping trip slasher as the usual suspects(they all look about 23, but the movie has them as graduating high school students heading to college, or so they think..)fall prey to a psychopath. The destination is Lake Nede Campground and when the gang stop off for directions, they are told by a local that there were murders in that neck of the woods, kids chopped into pieces and all..but, such a story will not deter our group, no siree. Basically a Friday the 13th movie without Jason Voorhies as your killer. The killer mostly uses a cross bow to inflict damage on the victims. An important event(a horrifying tragedy where a family was burned alive in their home thanks to a firecracker prank gone awry), that haunts character Adam's nightmares, causing him to suffer sleep deprivation as a result, is obviously from the get-go the reason for the murders. Regarding the death of this family, at each crime scene a roman candle is left as a reminder of that event which might explain the motive behind why all these kids are being hunted down. Lots of eye candy to admire, such as Lynsey Brothers, Erica Cerra, Barbara Kottmeier, and Tiffany Paterson, and there's one particular scene, when all are in bikinis, where the director's camera lingers up and down all their bodies(he is just as fond of their beauty as we are). The plot is standard stuff..recycled formula of scared "teens" running around looking for escape as a killer is among them somewhere. The revelation at the end behind the murders is a little tacky, but it's never as much about the motive as it is about the murders themselves(which aren't that whopping, either). The title kind of informs you as to who the killer might be if you pay attention. Sean Arnfinson is Adam, the one having nightmares, while Brody Harris is his pal, Matt. Brothers is Adam's girlfriend Yvette. I could go on and on about the other characters but they represent the stock line up of "pretty lambs to the slaughter", so why bother.

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.

"Adam and Evil" is a pretty good new slasher movie.**SPOILERS**After graduating from High School, friends Adam, (Sean Arnfinson) Yvette, (Lynsey Brothers) Rob, (Terran Orletsky) Seth, (Kevin Robson) Matt, (Brody Harms) Yvonne, (Erica Cerra) Evelyn, (Barbara Kottmeier) and Rachel (Tiffany Patterson) decide to celebrate by going down to a campground for a weekend of sex and drinking. Adam, however, is having recurring nightmares about a fire from years ago that killed his parents. Once they discover there's dead members, they try to escape but are trapped at the campground. Figuring it's best to find a way out separately, they split up but all meet violent ends. Reconvening to figure out what went wrong, they try a last ditch plan escape the camp alive, and in the process discover a shocking realization about the nightmares that were plaguing Adam.The Good News: Whoa, what an ending. This is probably the films' greatest strength: it has one of those endings that completely throws you and yet is seen as completely natural as well. It threw me as well, completely unexpected and very original. A solid twist, as well as the motivation for the killer's spree. Many have said that it is a really stupid reason, but it makes perfect sense given all the reasoning given for it. It expands upon earlier information given and then tweaks it so the resolution is completely understandable and is yet unexpected. Out of the dozen or so deaths in the film, several are pretty original. We get an arrow throw two people's necks, a pair of hedge-clippers to slit their throat, and two spears from a spear gun into one's chest. Not really a lot of great deaths, but at least they tried to have some originality with some of them. At least they didn't do any of the traditional methods of dispatching people with those implements. It's nice that we didn't get the usual ways and they tried something to throw us off. Normally, we hear about a death involving a spear gun, more than likely, it would be shoved into the victim or shot through the head. Originality was a nice touch. I was also surprised at the suspense in the film. Since this takes place at night during a forest, we get many sequences where the characters are hiding as they hear footsteps running around, with twigs snapping and bushes rustling and all those spooky noises you hear in the woods. With no lights, we are left to rely on the person causing the ruckus to show themselves, and the suspense comes when we have to wait to see how long they choose to remain hidden in the forest. Of course, that also leads to some cheap false scares in these scenes, but some of them actually work. One involves them hearing noises in the darkness, and begin calling out for the killer to show themselves, and suddenly one of their party pops out on the opposite side where we expect them. A cheap scare that works. I'm still not sure where to put this, but since we get very little glimpses of the killer, it either adds to the enigma, or irritates me because we don't know what they look like. I'll put it here since it does seem to make the killer a litter scarier than normal.The Bad News: There is so little blood in this one, it's insane. All we get in the way of blood is a small flow from a neck slit and some red around body wounds. Very little blood at all in this one. Also, this one has a very clichéd story in it: teens arrive at a deserted camp, tell the story of a local killer in the area, and then get picked off one-by-one by a masked killer. It doesn't take a lot of effort to make a film with that kind of story to it, so this doesn't score a lot of points there. Also, there were tons of times I kept thinking, "These were supposed to be hot teens? Why do only the women look good?" It's true: the guys here look much worse than the women of the caliber in here would go after. Not very realistic.The Final Verdict: Despite this being a very bloodless film, this is still a pretty good slasher. It's got a lot more surprises than you may think, and it packs one wallop of an ending. Recommended to those that live off the Direct to Video market, or those that like their horror with cheese and no blood in it. Slasher fans may heed caution with it, it's a clichéd story that's been done better before and far gorier. Unless you're a completest, don't bother.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, Brief Nudity and a sex scene

The Title "Adam And Evil" Had An Affect On Me, I Was Hoping That This Might Be A Decent Film, But It Wasn't, This Movie Really Blew. The Reasons It Blew: 1. Dialogue, Although It Kinda Made The Movie Funny, Like The Last Commenter Posted "I'm Gonna Slice You Up Like A Turkey!", And When The Guy Is Kneeling Next To Shane's Best Friend Saying "Why Would You Kill Your Best Friend And Just Leave Him Here" And The Other Guy Says "What Man?", Its Just Horrible 2. The Title Has NOTHING To Do With The Film! Grrrrr 3. Not Enough Nudity, You Have All Those DAMN HOTT Girls, And You See Nothing From Any Of Them, Only Person You See Naked Is The Sheriff's Wife, Which Is Beyond Me How That Ugly Sheriff Could Get A Hott Wife Like Her 4. I'm Too Tired To Post Anymore, But Please Don't Spend Your Hard Earned Dollars On This Movie, Maybe Just Steal It Or Something If You Really Feel Compelled To Watch It
