czarnobog Wow. Another clunker from Canadian "auteur" Andrew Van Slee. At least this one is somewhat watchable, unlike his earlier epic "Totally Blonde."The scariest thing about this entire movie is the teeth of the actors. Instead of rehearsing, the director must have thrown a teeth-whitening party. Almost every character has teeth that look like chiclets which had been soaking in bleach for a week. The plot line follows that of "Fiday the 13th" -- the only difference, and it's huge, is that instead of watching the kids die one by one in imaginative efx sequences, all of the violence takes place off-camera. A shadowy murderer appears, the victim reacts, and we see the bloody aftermath. The entire efx budget seems to have been spent on a bucket of fake blood and a number 4 paint brush. Most of the actors are good, but a few are grade A hambones. The characters are entirely generic. In fact, none of the human characters are as interesting as the farm tools used by the killer. And we don't get to see those farm tools act... just the aftermath.The dialog is atrocious. The opening character set-up is a long, labored discourse which makes it clear to anyone who didn't already know that teenage boys like sex. They also call each other "dude" a lot. It seems dated, but hey, maybe Canada's teens are on some kind of culture curve. Another ten years and they'll be getting into hiphop. There's a big surprise ending which I won't reveal. Anyone who makes it through this piece of dreck, even on fast-forward, deserves the miniscule thrill of the revelation.The ending sets up a sequel, apparently intending to rip off "Halloween" in the next installment, since they blatantly ripped off the theme music to set it up.If you're tempted by the premise, skip this turkey and rent the original "Friday the 13th" instead. Even if you've seen it fifty times it'll still be more exciting.

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.

Horrorible_Horror_Films Exceptionally bad! OF course you should expect nothing less from the likes Andrew Van Slee. How the hell does that man make a living making crap? Apparently not just movies, but songs too, he has the midas touch - everything he touches is crap! Big smelling pile of steaming crap! This movie sucks so much, here's what really bad: 1) The sets are pathetic! Apparently they were so small, that in EVERY scene the actors had to walk as s l o w as possible in order to stay on set. And they were so fake and bad, like when there in the woods, yet there on sand? 2) The acting is sooo freaking bad, the cast is deplorable, where did they get these people? In one scene the guy is TRYING to cry and emote, it is terrible! This is the poorest casting EVER! 3) The title had NOTHING to do with the movie! Not like there was much plot anyway.4) The camera work. Wow, really bad. There are so many shots where someone was giving dialogue, but only half of their face was in the shot! They must have been in a rush to get this steaming pile of crap of a movie out to the public.5) The 'gore' was pathetic. The least a stupid horror movie can do is give us good death scenes, reward us with watching these stupid people getting grusemly killed - but NO, its so bad with just fake movie blood thrown on someone to show that they are dead. I would have liked a big gaping wound when a throat gets slashed instead of stupid red magic marker drawn on the victim's neck - which is exactly what this movie does.The best part of the movie: One of the characters says at one point "We should just all kill oursleves" to express her hopelessness at the situation. Yes, that is true, they should have killed themselves, that would have been MUCH better. In fact, everyone involved with the making of this atrocity should kill themselves.

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.
