AXE GIANT-THE WRATH OF PAUL BUNYAN-2013-This crazy horror tale has five young adult slacker assholes in a first offenders type boot camp run by a Sgt. Slaughter wannabe police sargeant named Hoke (Thomas Downey, also in HILLSIDE CANNIBALS) and a psychiarist (Kristina Kopf). Unfortunately the gang arrives just in time to be terrorized by an axe toting giant. Joe Estevez shows up as a crazy old guy who explains how in 1894 that some loggers (lead by Dan Haggerty) killed and ate Babe, the blue ox pet of Paul Bunyan. He killed all the loggers and then the townspeople threw him in a mine but he escaped and grew very big. Now he's angry because one of the group disturbed Babe's grave. A sheriff (Tim Lovelace) who's daughter is in the group shows up toward the end to help out but a group of redneck militia men save the day.
There's several be-headings and one woman is cut in half but the gory CGI SFX are pretty bad and the story, acting and direction are laughable most of the time. Could this have actually been a takeoff? Only director Gary Jones (MOSQUITO and CROCODILE 2) knows for sure.
Thanks for reading!
