Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

Axe is one of those seriously low budget films that rarely hits home and is usually a bust. But surprisingly through the raw acting and limited budget, is a sleeper hit in the Gore genre. The limited characters are great because it is about a pre-pubescent girl who says very little and her grandfather who says nothing up against three gangsters on the run. The one weapon she is acclimated to as a farm girl who cooks fresh-kill is the Axe, hence the title. It has that Mod-squad production feel with the unexpected killings. There is the hint of possibly these killings not being the end, and this is really a serial killer in the making. Either way, the creepiness of her character, you still root for her and enjoy each killing. Many review point out cheesy acting, but I think it fits here, this is not a drama, but more of a cult classic slasher type flick, presented uniquely in that it takes place with a very minimal amount of characters and plays on the circumstances each character finds himself in and how to get out of it. I will say, those into plot will enjoy this film more than gore-seeking horror aficionados wanting more blood guts and violence.

The only good thing here is Leslie Lee who plays Lisa. However, the entire flick is muddled by hack direction and actors who aren't very believable.
A waste of time and money. Certain viewers may get a kick out of some of the trailers, though.

Can't recommend this turkey. Sorry.
