Edge of the Axe

I've heard a lot about Edge of the Axe and was excited to check it out. That being said, it was okay, but to me wasn't as interesting as many other eighties horror films. It's not your usual run-of-the mill slasher though, but more of a mystery.

It's about a young man who loves computers and begins to store as much information as he can about a slew of recent murders in his town. He meets a girl and gives her a computer so they can communicate.

What I was impressed with was the ending. It is a truly great ending but most of the film up until that point is a little slow and sometimes interesting sometimes boring. I think it is worth a watch for diehard mystery and horror fans. Edge of the Axe does stand out from other genre movies of its time and is quite clever.
