Two girls are out rock-climbing and decide to stop over at a bar in the desert for a cold one. In the bar they get harassed by a gang of local bikers, and the girls escape stealing the leader's bike. After riding for a while they crash the bike and discover that there's a satchel full of cash on the bike that they were riding. They stop at a motel to rest and the owner promise to take them into town. But suddenly the bikers appear and wants their money back, and not only do they have to watch out for the bikers, there's also a psychopatic axe murderer on the loose.
Ok, I was pretty sure that Axe was gonna suck, but this was beyond abysmal to say the least. Funny thing though, I looked at this movie on IMDB and it had a rating of 7.3 and there were only six people that had voted. Either, and most likely, the people who voted had something to do with this movie, and if they didn't, they sure have the most horrible taste in movies ever. I can't actually see how anyone could like this piece of trash, it's pure garbage and has absolutely nothing going for it whatsoever.
I have no idea why Jason London's in this movie as he's actually an ok actor, although I think his brother Jeremy is slightly better. I guess he's somewhat ok here too, it's just that everything else is so bad and uninteresting it's ridiculous. Someone at IMDB also mentioned that one of the two girls look like a fat version of Denise Richards and I couldn't agree more. Actually, I couldn't let that thought go during the entire flick, she's prancing around with her big breasts halfway hanging out from her too tight top/shirt and is a terrible actress.
The other girl, Andrea Bogart, is actually ok but I still wouldn't wanna use the word good though. The remaining actors are just terrible and delivers awful performances. The biker gang is laughable, and the serial killer is just a huge block of meat that acts like a caveman and is truly a snore to watch. Also the killing scenes are among the worst in movie history, I still can't believe just how bad they were. But the award for absolute worst acting goes to the owner of the motel, he's definitely in a league of his own.
The movie's basically just about these two girls that unknowingly steals some cash, and everyone else being out for the cash as well, not only the bikers. Although, the serial killer just wants to kill and he does a hell of a job not delivering on any level whatsoever. So these girls escapes the bikers and hook up with the owner of the bar they first went to, but he's not as nice as he first seemed. There's this little twist, but you could see it coming from miles away and it's just shite..
Most of the time, even if a movie's really bad, it usually have some little thing going for it, but sorry to say this one does not have one single thing. Axe could've really used some nudity as well, it's this type of b-flick that is just horrible but if it would've had some nudity, it would at least have been something. It kinda hints at it as well as the Denise Richards looking chick is kinda semi-showing her tits at all times but we never get to see them. Too bad, that would've probably raised the rating one point extra.
I truly regret that I watched Axe as it just got me all worked up and irritated. It has absolutely NOTHING to offer and everyone involved in the production should be ashamed of themselves. Avoid at all cost.
