Not exactly groundbreaking, but it’s a move that allows the ladies to helm the story giving Dowling, Bernadette, Shepis, and their co-stars a level of control in their situations, rather than forcing their characters to be reduced to silent victims. It’s a simple thing, really, but it’s an attempt to shift the attitude away from pubescent ogling at girl-on-girl to something that dips its wick into feminism. Which is a big switch from ‘80s male-dominated and often male-centric Horror. She pulls the punches in her relationship, letting her man know that if he can’t handle her, someone else will. But don’t think these two have a simple teddy bear and chocolate romance: they easily win the award for the World’s Nastiest On-Screen Kiss.Īdmittedly, Dowling steals the show as the smart and demanding Stacy, who refuses to be trapped in a house with a bunch of hornballs without attaining her own orgasm. Meanwhile, as his dream girl, Kiss’ Vivian offers viewers a sense of old Hollywood glamour packaged in a character who belches and vomits her way into her man’s heart. Writer-Director Theney is the stand-out of the male actors, as he provides himself with enough material to give a fun performance as the twitterpated Darren. Scream Queen Bernadette is cast as the passionate and flirty Tammy, while co-star Hogan does a good job as her girlfriend Liz. Its cast does a good job with the material, which generally amounts to being murdered in over-the-top fashion-heads are rolled, brains are squished. A love letter to ‘80s slasher flicks, the film is simple and to the point, propelled by practical effects and a love of gore. But you don’t need to have a past relationship with the original, 2013’s Axeman, to pick up on this reincarnated tale of old friends, sharp objections, and gruesome deaths. Originally titled Axeman: Redux, Axeman At Cutter’s Creek is a reboot of the axe-wielding franchise that allows Theney to “course-correct” a ship that he felt had gone off path.


Despite the first of the gang falling prey to the Axeman (former NBA basketball star Scot Pollard: Jayhawkers 2014, The Profit 2017 ), business continues as usual back at the cabin-though the countdown to extinction has already begun. And the single friends are equally lusty: Randy (Nihilist Gelo: Skunk Ape!? short 2003, Trouble Is My Business 2018 ) has googly-eyes and a video camera fixed on the lesbian couple, while Darren (Theney) only has time for redheaded spitfire Vivian (Eliza Kiss: Axeman 2013, The Encounter 2015 ).īefore long, their past discretions and secret crushes mean very little: each of the friends is about to become a piece of history. Passionate Tammy (Bernadette: The 6th Friend 2016, I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu 2019 ) and Liz (Erin Marie Hogan: 2 Jennifer 2016, Dwelling 2016 ) are attached at the lips, while there’s a thick tension between Cassidy (Chantelle Albers: In Search of Fellini 2017, Reawakened 2020 ) and Doug (Dyl an Hobbs: Joker Rising 2013, The Clown Prince 2019 ). Unaware of the horrors attached to their staycation destination, two couples and three friends agree to visit Brian (Stephen Eith: Axeman 2013 ) and Stacy’s (Dowling: We Are Still Here 2015, Girl on the Third Floor 2019 ) new luxury cabin.
