Pickaxe (2014)
8/10
It's getting creepy here
13 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The production is a sequel to the Pickaxe series. Pickaxe 3 was made in 2014 and took place in 1982. In that film, Adrienne (Tiffany Shepis) killed Alex Black aka Pickaxe (Jayson Champion). Pickaxe is brought back to life in 1988 when Paul and Dana Farmer find his pentagram amulet.

The Woodland Hills area is going to have a concert, "Sacrilegious Desecration." A group of hormone-filled teens are off to attend, staying at a cabin in the woods. One of the teens had a brother who was murdered by Pickaxe. Adrienne is also back, being released from the asylum.

This is a throwback. It is a comedy-horror reminiscent of the 80's style. It is overdone as a way to spoof the genre. Tiffany Shepis was superb in her role and indeed, she has paid enough dues to "B" horror. The gratuitous nudity was also overdone, far more than the typical three nude scenes per horror film. If you are a lover of 80's slashers, then this film is a must-see.

Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Keefer Barlow, Michelle Ellen Jones, Danielle Jones + a half dozen or so uncredited.)
