Erica Cerra is a lovely actress we never saw enough of. She was the sultry deputy in the Syfy show "Eureka," and had a voice that oozed seduction...and wore her uniform well. She's in this slasher epic, and no uniform, just some shorts and at times a bikini. What we have here is sort of a rip-off of "Friday the 13th," not in backstory, but of sultry teens felled by a machete, arrows, a sickle, or other blunt instruments. Before the bikini babes and hunks assume room temperature, there will be a lot of steamy pre-marital sex, beer drinking, and more steamy carnal relations. Our feature today is 2004's "Adam & Evil," directed by Andrew Van Slee.
Four years ago Adam (Sean Arnfinson) and Matt (Brody Harms) set off a Roman candle that shot into a house by accident and incinerated a nice family. Accident, but the two now have a bloody secret. These two will join six others in a wilderness getaway as they have just graduated from high school. Yvette (Lynsey Brothers) is Adam's GF and she knows about the dirty deed. Also along are the hunk Rob (Terrence William) and Rachel (Tiffany Paterson). This couple is so sweet and Rachel in a bikini is unbelievable...they'll both be impaled through the neck by the same arrow, so sweet. Yep...the killings start fairly quickly. Oh, Seth (Kevin Robson) is sliced in his tent after boinking the lovely Maureen (Allison Warnyca). Maureen is the sheriff's (Jodie Graham) wife and he is a jealous sort...a killer?
The teens start being sliced and impaled at a rapid rate. Suspects? Well, Yvonne (Cerra) just dumped her psycho BF Shane (James Clayton) and he followed the group to the wilderness with evil intentions. Too easy? There is the obligatory creepy caretaker (Jeffrey Fisher) with the hedge clippers. Oh, Evelyn! The most seductive of them all, also looks great in a bikini, and is loose with the pre-marital sex. Why is she a suspect? You'll see. Booby traps, arrows, and machetes will fly and blood will spatter. Babes will die horribly and so will hunks. The killer goes through these great looking teens like crap through a goose. Then! Guess what! A nice surprise ending and a final reveal that will be so satisfying.
Will Erica Cerra make it to the end credits or will she enjoy a dramatic death scene? Will there be bikini-babe catfights? Will Adam and Matt finally face retribution for that horrible Roman candle accident four years ago? The cheese and beef is the highlight of this film but the kills are numerous and great. For a throwback to the 1980s Slasher Era, see "Adam & Evil."
