The movie follows three teenagers as they visit the site of a notorious killing spree, in which eight people were murdered by an axe-wielding killer, in order to find answers. Instead, they find something beyond even their wildest fears.
The Axe Murders of Villisca never comes alive, and as such no matter how much potential as a filmmaker I think Valenzuela might possess, watching this film proves to be nothing more than a serious waste of time.
Effective scares are generated with [the director's] phantoms, but the story could have reached another level if it had messed with our heads a bit more.
