Edge of the Axe
Al filo del hacha (original)
From cult Spanish filmmaker José Ramón Larraz (Vampyres, Symptoms) comes this long-neglected late 80s slasher classic, finally unleashed for the first time ever! The rural community of Paddock County is being rocked by the crazed exploits of an axe-wielding psychopath, who stalks the night in a black trenchcoat and mask. As the victims pile up, the authorities attempt to keep a lid on the situation, whilst computer whizz-kid Gerald and girlfriend Lillian seek to unmask the killer before the town population reaches zero. Nominally set in Northern California but shot primarily in Madrid, giving the film an off-kilter, American/European atmosphere akin to the likes of Pieces, Edge of the Axe is a late entry hack-and-slash masterpiece from one of the titans of Spanish terror.
Starring Barton Faulks, Christina Marie Lane, Page Moseley, Patty Shepard, Fred Holliday, Alicia Moro, Jack Taylor, May Heatherly, Conrado San Martín, Joy Blackburn
It's a mystery and horror movie, and has a rating of 5.3 out of 10 from Imdb which is fairly okay for this kind of movie.
