Stephen Thrower on 'Axe' and 'Kidnapped Coed' (2015)
*** (out of 4)
Author Stephen Thrower is the focus on this nine minute featurette that takes a look at the exploitation films AXE and KIDNAPPED COED. Thrower does a very good job in the time given to discuss these two movies and what makes them stand apart in his mind. He talks about the director being influenced by CITIZEN KANE and LAST TANGO IN Paris while also talking about the trouble that AXE got into during the Video Nasties period. With just nine minutes to talk obviously Thrower can't get into too much details about the making of the movie but there's a separate hour long documentary on the disc where he gets to speak a bit more. As far as featurettes goes this one here is certainly entertaining as Thrower is also interesting to listen to.
