“While u0026quot;Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyanu0026quot; isnu0026#39;t among the worst of movies that I have seen, it is far up on the scale.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis slasher movie tries to incorporate the Paul Bunyan tale with some good old fashioned teenage slash-fest. But ultimately the end result was rather tame and less than interesting, to say the least.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA group of young delinquents are sent away to a reform boot-camp in the middle of a forested mountainside, under the supervision of gung-ho police officer Sgt. Hoke and a psychiatrist. However, the group run afoul a giant that is stalking the mountainside. The giant is wielding a massive axe and is ferocious and hellbent on killing anything in his path.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStorywise, then u0026quot;Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyanu0026quot; was a very generic and genre stereotypic slasher movie, although trying to put in some legend and folk lore – which failed miserably.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe effects in the movie were adequate at times, while at other times they were so low-budget that you canu0026#39;t help but shake your head in disbelief and laugh out loud at them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI donu0026#39;t recall a single face seen throughout the movie, and as such I suppose that is a good enough thing, as it is nice to see unfamiliar faces in movies, as to not draw associations to previous roles the actors or actresses have portrayed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyanu0026quot; wasnu0026#39;t entertaining and it was very tempting to let oneu0026#39;s attention drift towards something else as the movie trotted on mundanely on the screen. Sometimes you just wonder why certain films gets produced, funded and even makes it off the drawing board.”
