From cult Spanish filmmaker José Ramón Larraz (Vampyres, Symptoms) comes this long-neglected late 80s slasher classic, finally unleashed on Blu-ray 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.

Overlooked Slasher Gem

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I had never heard of this until recently, but I really quite enjoyed it. It wasn't obvious who the killer was, the pace was good and was pretty entertaining. Any 80's slasher fan needs to check this one out. I'll be checking out more José Ramón Larraz films too. As Zavvi always does, they shipped it quickly and safely to Canada.

Thanks Zavvi for a trouble-free purchase of another bargain product. Great thriller from Jose Larraz to go alongside the Blood Hunger box set. Definitely worth a watch

Hidden gem

A much overlooked late '80s slasher that displays Larraz's flair in fine style! A must-have for slasher fans.
