Three despicable criminals are about to meet their match when they encounter Lisa and her Axe!
The plot of Axe is three lowlifes causing random trouble to seemingly random people in nasty ways. They beat a gay man to death and humiliate a store clerk by pouring soda all over her after making her take her top off. We also meet a young girl living with her grandfather who seems completely out of it (it may have been the acting ...). The three men eventually barge their way into the farmhouse where the girl and grandfather live and start terrorizing them. We start to see that Lisa is not at all well as she contemplates suicide right after the men come in. When they try to sexually assault her, she fights back with her axe...
Axe must have the lowest budget of any horror film I have ever seen at $25,000 - and it shows. The editing and quality on this one is brutal. The music playing in the background is mostly this off-putting drum beat that seems completely out of place. The acting is abysmal from pretty much everyone involved as well, which comes when you hire non-actors. Also you don't expect much in terms of plot/story at a running time of just slightly over an hour.
I went into Axe with pretty low expectations given it's budget and extremely low reviews I had read. Sadly, the low expectations were met for me. Axe is a poorly and cheaply made movie. Budget aside, the acting and story aren't even all that great to be begin with.
3/10
