DigitalRevenantX7 A group of young adults head to a remote campsite in order to unwind. But what they don't know is that somebody with a grudge to bear is planning to get their revenge over an incident a few years before where an entire family died in a prank-caused house fire. One by one, the friends are killed, a Roman Candle firework left behind as a warning for the survivors. But as the friends cotton on to the plot, they find that there are plenty of people they need to keep an eye on.The independent horror film industry has really taken off once the millennium arrived – seemingly anyone with a cheap camcorder, a small budget & an idea can make a film, usually roping in their friends to keep costs down & have a good laugh over it. I have seen an awful lot of such films & while there are some hidden gems amongst this crowd, the sad fact is that most of them don't fit the expectations of the audience.Adam & Evil is a cheap slasher film that follows the time-worn plot of the original Friday THE 13TH almost to the letter, only without a summer camp for a location. Instead, director-scribe-producer Andrew Van Slee has decided to make the cheapest FT13 knockoff he can. And sure enough the results emerge as disappointing.The main problem is that slasher films, while matching zombie films for ideal films to be made on the cheap, have dated badly as a concept. While zombie films have endured because of their evolving nature, slasher films have become pretty much obsolete. There is nothing in the slasher that can be taken seriously these days or not seeming like a cliché. This subgenre hit its stride back in the early 1980s – more than 30 years ago. Since then, it has dated badly & now slasher films are nothing more than cheap cheese that will only be useful for a good derisive laugh.The film's story is almost complete cliché – one-dimensional characters, paper-thin plot, plenty of guessing on who the killer is (although to be fair, the killer's identity was a considerable surprise, although the rationale for their killing spree was really lame), plenty of partying teens & drinking. Unusually for a slasher film, the sex & gore is kept to a minimum, which will further push the film to the B-film gutter. The actors do the usual rounds almost robotically & the constant kills will keep the pace going for a fair bit. Not exactly the worst slasher film around, but Adam & Evil is a piece of trash that will only be useful for having itself mocked & derided by the viewer, preferably Under The Influence.

Arlis Fuson Some teens go camping out in the woods and die off 1 at a time (sometimes 2 at a time) and you have several obvious suspects. Evetually the cops are involved and even the cops can't save these kids from being slashed to death...who is the real killer...watch and see..I love slasher movies and it's a genre thats done to death (no pun intended) but I still enjoy them, and they each bring something new to the table with methods of killing, motives for killing and such...Not once here do u see the killer until the end, so no cheesy mask required.I thought it was OK. The acting was horrible except for a couple people who did good, the dialog was rather stupid and it had flaws from the get go. The directing wasn't extremely bad, it was okay for a low budget b-film.I thought Adam (Sean Arnfinson) and the girl playing Yvonne did a really good job, but most of the others did bad and overacted way too much at times.I give it 4/10 stars for being a nice addition to the slasher family.

kellyphx Utter piece of trash, I can't believe I actually watched it all the way to the end. Speaking of the ending, I have to admit I didn't see it coming. Probably because I stopped paying close attention after ten minutes. I won't spoil it for you, but hopefully you won't ever be watching this c - - p. Reading the back of a cereal box would have been a better use of time than watching this movie.That said, there are a few fascinating things about this movie. There is, of course, the obvious: fascinatingly bad direction, writing and acting. The other is, where did they find actors with mouths this big? I mean, honest, they all make Julia Roberts' mouth look petite. You can't help but just watch these people talk... it's like watching alien lifeforms. I notice on some of the cast's filmographies here on IMDb they've done nothing much else but this movie. Thank God. We've all been spared. I hope the director and scriptwriter realize they ought to be selling real estate and stay out of the movie business.

i_am_the_beck My wife and I occasionally like to find the worst films we can and enjoy them in a sort of MST3K sort of way. We came across this #$&! and knew it stunk of "worst film ever" potential simply from the description. Oh my...what a treat of awful "filmmaking". We debated whether someone could set out with the intent of making a "film" worse then this one and succeed. We came to the conclusion that it would be incredibly tough, but possible. Though after factoring in this "film's" collection of some of the least talented "actors" (although I'm still convinced they were pulled directly from a local High School Theatre 101 class), we decided that a worse film script might be possible...but it would be impossible to purposely find a worse cast. I don't care how absurd you want to get...cast a film entirely with drunks off the street, chimps, or computer driven AI with the sort of "Stephen Hawking" speech...it still wouldn't be as devoid of talent, as badly delivered, or as lacking of any semblance of emotion as this cast managed to do.An awful...bloody awful film that is hilarious in it's awfulness.Brody Harms is now in the running for the "worst actor to ever be put on film" (or video in this case as I believe it went straight to) award. I'm talking hideousness in epic proportions...
