Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

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.

Claudio Carvalho After their high-school graduation, eight friends decide to celebrate in a campground in Lake Nede with booze and sex. They get lost and stop in a bar to ask for directions. One of the boys is seduced by the slut wife of the local sheriff, while the group is chased by two bad elements from their school. Once in the lake, one by one is killed by a murderer, and the survivors guess who might be the criminal."Adam & Evil" is the perfect cheesy movie: the silly and flawed screenplay seems to be written by a moron, so stupid it is with laughable dialogs and situations; the shameful direction is inexistent; the unknown ham actors and actresses show a total lack of talent at least in this movie. The story has lots of holes and clichés, and it is funny to see, for example, the car fully loaded with eight persons, and I guess where all of the camping stuff was transported. When the group finds that there are three dead friends, they split to facilitate the work of the killer. The twist disclosing the criminal is one of the most terrible and ridiculous that I have ever seen. I could spend the whole night writing flaws in this flick, but I believe that this sample is enough to show how bad this film is. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Segredos Mortais" ("Deadly Secrets")

bdl7431 Well, what can I say - when the cable channel program guide classifies this as a "Substandard slasher film" then you KNOW there must be something wrong...SPOILER AHEAD!!!!! The film imitates (a nice way of saying "RIPS-OFF") a couple of other slasher films, like Jamie Lee Curtis' "Prom Night", where the slasher is mentally deranged and taking revenge for crimes committed against someone special in his/her life by fellow classmates. In this case, the classmates are high school students who accidentally burned down a house of the slasher's foster parents (I think - it's hard to follow)with a wayward roman candle. So, when the slasher disposes of one of the victims - a roman candle is left next to them.Anyway, the movie tries real hard to drag red herrings across the trail at various places. For example, the wife of the county sheriff is over-sexed and under-appreciated, and so she gets out of her bed in the middle of the night and drives 10 - 15 miles to do it with one of these kids. The sheriff may of noticed - or he may of not - all we see is him fumbling around the suddenly vacated bed. The problem is there is so little back fill of story, that its hard to figure out what the heck is going on, or who would have motive to kill anyone.Instead, much time is wasted on useless story elements. For example, the kids are on a camping trip, and they unpack their SUV in a five minute sequence where the motion is sped up - think something along the lines of a Benny Hill chase scene. Then, we are treated to another five minutes of kids playing in a lake, who don't seem to miss one of their own who was murdered in the middle of the previous night.The gore is not really gore, with low budget movie blood being used. Some of the murders seem improbable - like one where two kids are shot through the neck with the same arrow, when they were both facing the slasher? Overall, don't expect much of this film. It's a confusing muddle of elements, too bad to be entertaining in the least bit (some films are so bad they're actually enjoyable to watch, like a Mystery Science Fiction Theater 3000 film). It apparently got an R-rating, although I suspect it's more due to the kids using the F-word every 30 seconds than gore or nudity. If you're bored, and this happens to be on - well, its better than nothing, but barely.

drhackenstine Ugghh... I don't know why I keep trying to digest the slasher films of today. I try to tell myself that maybe someone out there will capture the charm of the slasher film of yesteryear, but I'm constantly let down. The slasher films of today all have the same similarities: the teen cast are all preppy jocks, the special effects are very tame and not really special at all, and the killer always ends up being a female member of the slaughtered group of kids. The slashers of the '80's usually had entertaining characters (the fat kid, the bimbo, the nerd, the jock, the brain, the sleazeball, the pothead, etc.). Not today. The characters in this film are very lame. Not one person in this film can act. The jocky male leads are very irritating. When they are not sobbing and crying like little girls, they are using the F word to new levels of annoyance. The females are nothing special. They can't act, and show no nudity (something you usually look for in a movie like this).The story is about a group of kids camping in the woods while an unseen killer picks them off. The murders are rather boring, the killer is uneffective, and features a conclusion that fails to satisfy. The slasher films of today just suck. Features an arrow gouged through one neck into another, but little else. One Star.
