Edge of the Axe (1988) is a Spanish horror movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline involves a serial killer in Northern California and two computer nerds trying to track him down with cutting edge technology for the time; but if they aren't careful, the killer may kill them before they can capture him. This movie is directed by José Ramón Larraz (Vampyres) and stars Patty Shepard (Crypt of the Living Dead), Jack Taylor (Conan the Barbarian) and Conrado San Martín (The Black Duke). There's really some clever dialogue and good zings throughout this movie. The music was also well selected. There's some cliche circumstances in this, think a prostitute in high heels walking down train tracks in the middle of the night. And the kill scenes are a bit uneven, some good and some that leave you thinking "wouldn't an ax do more damage than that?" The film does conclude well and have some worthwhile scenes for fans of slasher pictures. I'd score this a 6.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
