, James Clayton
and Jodie Graham.
Filming began on April 30, 2003 in Los Angeles and it was released on April 27, 2004.
The film was released on DVD as Halloween Camp 2: Scream If You Wanna Die Faster in the United Kingdom
.
Although there is no plot continuity, the UK name implies a sequel to the 2003 Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp
, released as Halloween Camp in the UK. This in turn is a sequel to the 2000 slasher movie Bloody Murder
.
.
One reviewer concluded: "I realize it's not as awful as I first thought it was ... I did find myself laughing a lot at all the bad acting".
Another said "If you love mindless slashers where the plot is so simple Bullwinkle J. Moose
could figure it out in record time, and the kids are dumber than the norm, then check out "Adam and Evil". Trust me you will not be disappointed".
Referring to the U.K. title, Andrew Smith says "devoid of everything that makes this genre such a predictably entertaining time, you'll want to die faster if you are unlucky enough to sit down to watch".
The critic Timothy Gross comments that "this almost bloodless lame attempt at a slasher movie is horrible...", awarding it 1/2 star.
