A gang of three murderers escape the police, terrorize a salesgirl in a roadside grocerystore, then proceed to hide-out in a seemingly deserted farmhouse. They soon discover that a young girl, Lisa, and her paralyzed grandfather live there. The gang attempt some sleazy deeds, but Lisa shows how she can work an axe in self-defense.
Even though this movie is EXTREMELY low-budget and is only around 60 minutes long, it is still another example of how a low-budget can help a movie. The acting isn't always the best, but Leslie Lee is considerably creepy as Lisa the axe murderess. Filmed in North Carolina at a deserted farmhouse, the atmosphere is very isolated, like the farmhouse in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. The movie doesn't really go anywhere, but it is a classic of its own kind and the soundtrack should be enshrined on CD. AXE is hard to find on video, but Something Weird Video offers it on a Special Edition gorgeous print video.
