Best movie ever!
Taha Avalos
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Blistering performances.

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.

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.

A guy with a shady past goes on a "graduation" trip with his friends. There's a killer in the woods and picks them off one by one and blah blah blah. Surprisingly minimal amount of gore, NO suspense (hint to whoever came up with the spoiler heavy play on words title, you stink!!), and the film's 90 minute running time is endlessly crammed with unneeded filler. The acting is horrible, the end reveal that you know is coming STILL doesn't make a lick of sense when it finally happens. In conclusion, my eyes have seen a glimpse of hell, thy name is "Adam and Evil" Eye Candy: Allison Warnyca as the sheriff's wife gets topless My Grade: F Where i saw it: Starz on Demand (available till September 15th, 2005)

This movie is a complete joke..i totally agree with "rwduke" on the way he said 'there are not enough bad words in the dictionary to describe this movie'the worst thing in the movie was the acting. it was even worse than the plot, story, and the whole movie in general. It was so fake if you look at the actor's face while screaming, you can see its done intentionally but with complications too. i thought Cabin Fever was bad, but Cabin fever is like The Godfather compared to this. Especially when one of the girl's a the "killer" (and i say this loosely) she pulls out a knife and screams "thats it, I'm very angry now" and walks fast with a hunch, like walking in a dark alleyway holding a candle.totally pathetic. 2/10
