5.0 out of 5 starsThis double feature is an absolute MUST-OWN if you dig grindhouse/exploitation fare! A fully-loaded 5 STAR Blu-ray from Severin.
By Hose Knows (aka Jinzo Ningen) on January 10, 2016
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
AXE (aka Lisa, Lisa): Lisa is an attractive young woman who lives in a remote farmhouse, spending all of her time caring for her invalid grandfather. The loneliness of living so far from civilization and the exhausting pressures of being a full-time caregiver for the old man are taking their toll on Lisa's fragile mental state. Then three lowlifes on the run from the law break into the farmhouse one evening and ravage the poor girl. Her psychological stability was already precariously balanced and these hoods have unknowingly pushed it past the tipping point. Now for Lisa, it's payback time.

KIDNAPPED COED (aka The Kidnap Lover, aka Date with a Kidnapper, et, al.): Small-time crook Eddie Matlock kidnaps young Sandra Morley, the college-age daughter of a well-to-do local businessman. Eddie intends to use the ransom money to turn his life around AND do better by his ailing mother, who lives in a rundown nursing home. What he thought would be a simple caper turns into a nightmarish ordeal; both he & his young hostage are put through all kinds of hell ...and they end up falling for one another.

THOUGHTS: Prior to this new Blu-ray release, I did not know of Frederick Friedel's film AXE, and while his first film is rougher on almost every level than KIDNAPPED COED it still ranks miles above much of the selfsame exploitation fare produced in & around the same time period, or afterwards for that matter. Friedel's photographic background is his greatest strength as a director. His shot composition, (with ample help from cinematographer Austin McKinney), is consistently compelling. That and the fact that he knew literally NOTHING about the movie-making process actually becomes more of an asset than a liability, at least from a standpoint of the uniqueness of the finished products.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat addition to any Grindhouse collection
By Matthew Scott Baker on December 28, 2015
Format: Blu-ray
*I received a review copy of this set in return for an honest review

In all my years of film-watching (which total about thirty-five now), I had heard the name Frederick R. Friedel only a couple of times, usually in passing conversation. Friends of friends had heard of his works or had seen them onscreen, but had no idea how to obtain them. I’ve always been curious about what the man had to offer; he was supposed to be a legendary auteur, of sorts. Now, thanks to the fine folks at Severin Films and CAV Distribution, my curiosity has been satisfied, and the rest of the world can see the genius that is Frederick R. Friedel as well.

AXE and KIDNAPPED COED are presented in HD on a double feature Blu-ray that comes with a slew of Special Features and a CD of the original motion picture soundtracks. If you are any kind of Grindhouse nostalgia lover or horror fan, this two-movie collection is a ‘must have’ for your collection.

I enjoyed both films, however I have to admit AXE is my favorite between the two. KIDNAPPED COED had a different sort of feel, more like a crime drama rather than horror. AXE kept a foreboding tone throughout the whole film, and it constantly kept me on edge.

Both films are shot well, particularly when you consider Friedel was a new filmmaker around this time. He manages to capture some interesting camera shots that help enhance the mood he’s trying to create. Likewise, he does a great job of capturing the cast’s emotional states onscreen as well.

And speaking of the casts, Friedel puts together a winning team for each film. In AXE, viewers are treated to Leslie Lee, who portrays the enigmatic Lisa, and Jack Canon as the bastard Steele.Read more ›

By Jesse Deforest on February 4, 2016

This double feature took me back to the early days of the mom and pop video stores horror section. I remember this one in a big box w a different title , ithink it was (California Axe massacre) .Both movies are right up my alley , horror just like i like it . (Cheezy drive in quality) cleaned up a little ,but not too much ,with all the blood uncut.

4.0 out of 5 starsA Drive-In Classic Expolitation Film Re-Discovered.
By OneWayFilms on October 17, 2015
Format: Blu-ray
AXE: A Low budget, dark and gritty rural film about 3 criminals who murder and terrorize their way through the backwoods of the Carolina's and find themselves hiding from the police in an old isolated farmhouse where they meet Lisa, a young girl who lives alone with her paralyzed grandfather. She was young and beautiful. She was innocent and mysterious and She wielded an AXE. This is HER story of revenge and survival
For a low budget exploitation horror film, AXE really succeeds in creating a terrifying atmosphere for suspense and mystery. The horror and gore might be on the mild side, but when it appears, it's effective and rightfully disturbing. The acting ranges from raw talent to dreadful, but it seems to fit rather realistically in the backwood Carolina setting. Jack Cannon and Lesile Lee provide the strongest performances with Lisa being the true stand-out talent. It's sad that she gave up acting after only one film, her talent really shines bright in this forgotten classic.

Yes, this movie has a slow pace and feels rather drawn out at times, but it makes up for it in the clever photography and over-all story. It will never win any awards, but it's certainly worth the time spent for any true student of film and exploitation films of the late 70's.
NOTE OF INTEREST: This film was banned in the UK and labeled among the Video Nasties for several years before finally being released in it's complete uncut version. After viewing, one might wonder why it received such harsh treatment as it's content is rather tame.....but still very effective.
