Four twenty-somethings travel to an abandoned Martha's Vineyards to celebrate the new year and 'reconnect'. Interpersonal frictions and emotional trauma soon interrupt the festivities and as the first body unexplainedly drops so does the plot's plausibility. The surviving three retreat to the cabin until the end with the lights off. It's as exciting as it sounds.
Nothing here works. The writing is horrendous with lines beyond saving by A-list actors, and these are very far from A-list actors. The script is chock full of clichés and hilarious verbal clunkers, the false leads are insulting, the tension MIA, the motives nearly incomprehensible and the performances bizarrely disinterested. The first death among old friends elicits all the emotional shock of a rainy day. Not one character is likable. The guilty party is exactly who you thought from the start.
'The Eve' is to film what parrot talk is to speech; aping without content. There is no shortage of horrible movies to watch instead of this one, just avoid.
