Ax'Em

Ax 'Em (also known as The Weekend It Lives in its limited theatrical release) is a 1992 American low-budget horror film directed, produced, written by and starring Michael Mfume, the son of former Maryland NAACP head and congressman Kweisi Mfume.

The film had a limited theatrical run in Maryland and it was never released outside of the State of Maryland. The film didn't have a home video release until 2002 nationwide. It promptly fell into obscurity until Brad Jones (of The Cinema Snob fame) reviewed it in 2010 for his show. The film has often been called one of the worst horror films of all time, as evidenced by the film's 1.2 rating out of 10 on IMDb.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The film's opening scroll is full of typos, unnecessary capitalization and poor punctuation.
 * 2) The opening text only stays in display for about 3 seconds, making it hard to read and understand what's going on in the film.
 * 3) The first 5 minutes of the film, consisting of a DJ insulting the party-goers with "Yo Momma" jokes, has nothing to do with the rest of the film and is never brought up again.
 * 4) Despite the film being released on DVD in 2002, the film is full of dated '90s pop culture references (e.g., the Gulf War is mentioned, MC Hammer is referred as being one of the biggest rappers, and even Life Alert’s famous "I've fallen and I can't get up!" advertising campaign is referenced).
 * 5) Hilariously bad character names. One of the characters is named "Breakfast". Yes, seriously.
 * 6) There are no special features on the DVD.
 * 7) The film is full of terrible lighting to the point that it's hard to see what's going on the film.
 * 8) The acting is terrible, even by '90s horror movie standards.
 * 9) Terrible cinematography. Nearly every scene in the film is shot on one camera angle. There are barely any cuts between shots and sometimes the camera just moves around awkwardly.
 * 10) There are no attempts to enstablish any of the characters, or even properly introduce them. Also, you probably won't be able to hear the characters names do to abysmal audio mixing. All of that makes it impossible to tell who is who.
 * 11) The characters themselves have no personality, making it hard to care for them.
 * 12) The film has so many editing errors. There are some scenes in which the director can be clearly heard saying "action!" and "cut!" as well as scenes that randomly fade to black even when characters are talking.
 * 13) The audio mixing is so bad that everyone speaks in a loud voice, making it hard to hear what they're trying to say.
 * 14) The title is misleading because the serial killer mostly uses a machete to kill his victims instead of an axe.
 * 15) It was so bad that the editor apologized for it in an IMDb review and refused to have it on his resume.
