Adam & Evil

There are not enough bad adjectives in the dictionary to describe this movie. The acting is a joke. Not one actor in this entire movie has talent. Not moderate nor slight talent. NO talent. The dialog is so laughable.

"I'm going to slice you like a turkey" says one of the victims to the killer. "I don't scare easy and I'm pi$$ed" says another.

The girls run around like descendants of Rambo, claiming they are going to kick some a$$. Oh yeah, that's real scary, watching chicks act like they have been shot up with a gallon of testosterone. Why do women have to try and act like men?

The only scary in the this movie is the acting, the direction, and the fact that it was ever made. This movie is an embarrassment to the horror genre.

Avoid at all costs!

Adam & Evil is a rather average entry into the teen horror market by Canada's king of crap, Andrew Van Slee. While Adam & Evil doesn't quite match the heights (or lows, depending on which way you look at it) of "Net Games", it offers enough blood and lame humour to ensure a relatively painless 90 minutes of trashy entertainment.

This film revisits one of horror's classic premises. A group of teenagers go camping only to be butchered by the local psycho. This scenario, while not exactly groundbreaking, has the advantage of providing plenty of opportunity for mixing a bit of sex and nudity in between the slicing and dicing. In fact, the first half of Adam & Evil plays more like a bad episode of a teen drama than a horror movie. Nothing really happens apart from a lot of bickering and embarrassing conversations about sex and penis size. There are also several confused flashbacks to a fire, which are neither scary nor disturbing.

Thankfully, things pick up when the blood starts to flow. There are throat slashings and crossbow shootings but nothing particularly gory or original. I did cheer, however, when the loser serenading his girlfriend (on a raft, no less) meets his end. The action becomes slightly less insipid when the survivors flee the camping grounds. This is despite the fact that their every action flies in the face of basic common sense. The remainder of the film offers a couple of tense moments and a reasonably enjoyable finale, which unfortunately is ruined by one of the most ridiculous surprise twists in recent memory. The twist is so stupid that I found it strangely satisfying, much like the insane turn of events in Van Slee's high watermark "Net Games". The motive behind this serial killer's actions is really beyond all belief.

The actors are uniformly terrible. However, given the script it is hard to imagine anyone leaving this film with their dignity fully intact. I can live with appalling actors if the gore content is high enough. Adam & Evil is pretty tame as far as the gore is concerned but there is enough poorly executed violence to make it relatively bearable. Andrew Van Slee has once again outdone himself on the script and his directorial skills are as peculiar as ever. The gore effects are reasonable and the film is thankfully brief.

Adam & Evil is the kind of horror trash that I find mindlessly entertaining. I seriously doubt that this film will frighten anyone over 12 years old, but it is an inoffensive enough way to spend 90 minutes of your time.

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...

No pun intended - actually no apple at all in this one. But since the title itself is a pun, I just had to go there ... to the beginning sort of. If you are a fan of slasher movies you may not even care ... though the movie does try to please you, with kills, nudity and a story that has some twists (maybe even surprising ones for you?) ... but if you feel this is the worst horror movie you've seen: congratulations! I have seen way worse and it seems you have avoided those.

All kidding aside, there are some saving graces - like the fact the actors can act .. even if it does not seem necessary most of the time. Also seeing Erica Cerra, whom you may know from other stuff is quite a nice touch ... though to end on a pun, don't expect to touch her ... not that she is untouchable ... or is she? I'll end it here - the silliness can be seen in the movie too .. maybe not as much "fun"

it's okay. nothing special, we hardly see the killer until the end for five seconds, the nudity is not very memorable, the deaths aren't very creative (which slasher killer uses a gun?)

the twist ending is kinda stupid. the gore is minimal, the sex scene didn't thrill me, the kids aren't likable, accept for one, don't know his name, the scenes about them, trying to develop them are boring, the dialog is just awful overall, if you wanna see people who you know are trying to act because believe that this is a good slasher film, go for it, but stay the hell away if you're looking for the next Graduation Day
