have just kill two men and and torture a convenience store assistant and three thug ( two thoroughly sadistic bastard and one nice guy ) decide to lie low and take refuge at a deserted farmhouse and home to pretty young teenager lisa and her paralysed war veteran grandfather . naturally and it not long before the more morally bankrupt member of the murderous trio decide that they wan na piece o lisa while to their horror and however and the girl prove to be not quite as defenceless a she at first appear . axe be one of many low budget piece of trash that gain notoriety thanks to it inclusion on the video nasty list during the 1980s and and and a such and will forever be of interest to those who be compel to check out the forbidden . the irony be and of course and that if it hadn not be for the futile effort of a handful of politician and britain right wing newspaper and certain clueless activist and the film would have be long forget by now ( along with many other title on the list ) . although just over an hour long and this amateurish home invasion exploitationer be still rather tedious stuff and be extremely slow and very predictable . it also feature a poorly develop plot and character ( apparently due to a rather rushed production in order to meet distributor demand ) and several totally unbelievable moment ( lisa be able to dismember one attacker in the bath unseen and and then even convince the gullible nice guy that his partner in crime do it . ) and a dreadful score consisting of an abysmal aural assault by stylophone and bongo and piano and tambourine . also and whilst this be admittedly fairly grim stuff thematically and with endless scene of humiliation and rape and murder and and the suggestion of cannibalism in the film final moment ( or so i understoodthe whole soup thing be fairly confuse ) and there be nothing particularly shock to see represent a very weak neck slicing and a couple of off screen axe attack and and a headless chicken . nasty and but all thing unlikely to cause a problem for today jade horror audience .
