Computers And Axes….A Love Story
When computer nerd Gerald Martin encounters the lovely Lillian Nebb in her father’s Paddock County bar, their shared love for technology makes them fast friends…and lovers in 1988’s Edge Of The Axe. Oh, and there’s a psychotic killer on the loose as well. That killer is an axe-wielding masked maniac that is eventually revealed to be none other than Lillian herself, who is out to eliminate the folks that tended to her at the psychiatric hospital, the ladies that pursued her father, and anyone else that gets in her way.
Lillian is a slasher who appreciates the simple things in life. All she needs is an axe, a slicker to stay dry, and a plain white mask that conceals her identity. Her kills are brutal and, thanks to director Jose Ramon Larraz, we get to see most of them played out on the screen. From hacking a nurse in a car wash to tricking the police into gunning down an innocent man, Lillian will do anything to feed her psychotic hunger for vengeance. Lillian was portrayed by Christina Marie Lane.
Edge Of The Axe ended with a very much alive Lillian convincing the police that Gerald was the Paddock County axe murderer. It left the door wide open for a sequel. Unfortunately, we have yet to get one. I’m actually hoping that Edge Of The Axe gets a reboot and that we get to see Lillian back in action.
