Adam and Evil
23 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Lots of pretty girls to ogle in this camping trip slasher as the usual suspects(they all look about 23, but the movie has them as graduating high school students heading to college, or so they think..)fall prey to a psychopath. The destination is Lake Nede Campground and when the gang stop off for directions, they are told by a local that there were murders in that neck of the woods, kids chopped into pieces and all..but, such a story will not deter our group, no siree. Basically a Friday the 13th movie without Jason Voorhies as your killer. The killer mostly uses a cross bow to inflict damage on the victims. An important event(a horrifying tragedy where a family was burned alive in their home thanks to a firecracker prank gone awry), that haunts character Adam's nightmares, causing him to suffer sleep deprivation as a result, is obviously from the get-go the reason for the murders. Regarding the death of this family, at each crime scene a roman candle is left as a reminder of that event which might explain the motive behind why all these kids are being hunted down. Lots of eye candy to admire, such as Lynsey Brothers, Erica Cerra, Barbara Kottmeier, and Tiffany Paterson, and there's one particular scene, when all are in bikinis, where the director's camera lingers up and down all their bodies(he is just as fond of their beauty as we are). The plot is standard stuff..recycled formula of scared "teens" running around looking for escape as a killer is among them somewhere. The revelation at the end behind the murders is a little tacky, but it's never as much about the motive as it is about the murders themselves(which aren't that whopping, either). The title kind of informs you as to who the killer might be if you pay attention. Sean Arnfinson is Adam, the one having nightmares, while Brody Harris is his pal, Matt. Brothers is Adam's girlfriend Yvette. I could go on and on about the other characters but they represent the stock line up of "pretty lambs to the slaughter", so why bother.
