What happens

Ax 'Em (originally titled The Weekend It Lives) is a 1992 American slasher film directed by and starring Michael Mfume, son of United States Representative Kweisi Mfume. The film follows a group of friends on a weekend retreat at a remote cabin in the woods who become the targets of a crazed killer. Ax 'Em is the re-edit of the movie released by York entertainment in 2003. York changed the tone of the movie, wanting it to be a pure horror movie instead of a horror/comedy. The plot below describes this re-edit, as the original film has never been released on home video. Though less well known than other famous "bad movies", Axe 'Em is considered a contender for one of the worst movies of all time due to its near-complete failure on every technical level, including an inability to hear significant portions of dialogue, widely varying generation loss across shots, and extremely disjointed, incomprehensible editing.
