Axe
This ultra low budget horror film, a drive-in favorite in the early 1970s, is a fast paced shocker that is part REPULSION and part TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. In it, three small time crooks who are looking for a place to hideout after a crime spree happen upon a deserted looking farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. Inside, they find a young girl named Lisa who cares for her invalid grandfather. Pleased that they will have a young woman to push around, the three criminals set up shop and order Lisa to cook them some food. What the three crooks don't know, however, is that Lisa is a near psychotic young woman who regularly hallucinates and whose pent up rage is about to boil over. When one of the criminals triggers her anger, she begins killing each of her house guests, one by one.

TERRIBLE
OK. There's this bloke that looks like Dennis Waterman. He hangs around with a man who looks like Rory McGrath and a fat George W Bush lookalike. They're criminals or something.
They ambush this bloke in his hotel room and kill him.
Then, after the murdered man's friend jumps through a window, they wind up in a supermarket and then proceed to terrorise the shop girl.
Oh, at the same time, there's this young girl who looks after her catatonic grandfather. We get various shots of her feeding him soup and cutting the heads off chickens for his tea.
They then meet. Fat George fancies her, as does Dennis. Rory tries to be the decent man.
Mayhem ensues....well...you'd like to think.
This film is rubbish. Asides from the glaring continuity and other errors, it insults your intelligence.
One thing I would like to find out though. What washing powder does this girl use? She can happily chop up someone, then appear minutes later without a single stain on her, bone dry. Not only did her dress wash, dry and iron quick, but came out brilliant white!
Not to be recommended. Never again would 68 minutes seem like 3 hours. -
