Ax 'Em is a horror film made in The Nineties and distributed in 2002. It was directed, written, and produced by Michael Mfume.

In the beginning of the film, a group of people talk about the party while Harry, the "mentally ill son" from the opening scroll, kills people with a machete. He crashes the party and kills people for no reason at all, even though he was supposed to "revenge his family deaths."


 * An Axe to Grind: An axe does appear once.
 * Black Dude Dies First: The first victim in this film is the mumbling grandfather. Oh, and he's also the only victim to be killed by the villain's axe.
 * Filler: The movie always has the group talking and eating. Granted, it's split with other scenes such as Brian's death, Rock trying to screw a female, and Tony taking a pee break, but it's still infuriating because the movie stops dead for a bit.
 * Gainax Ending: The film doesn't stop with Harry dead. He's still alive.
 * Hollywood Silencer: During the flashback, the "mean Towns man" kills his family. Note how they don't wake up when they are shot.
 * Jump Cut: Used right before characters die.
 * Loads and Loads of Characters: Good luck trying to catch their names.
 * Machete Mayhem
 * The Nineties: This was made at that time, and it shows with the now out-of-date styles (a Mickey Mouse shirt a character wears).
 * Plot Hole: Tons of them, ranging from how killing a group of people is the equivalent of "revenging Harry's family deaths" to Harry using a hatchet.
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge/Revenge: Subverted. Despite saying that he would "revenge his family deaths," Harry doesn't even do that.
 * Rouge Angles of Satin/Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma: The Opening Scroll.
 * The Unintelligible: Literally everyone. Their dialogue, such as it is, is barely audible.
 * What Happened to the Mouse?: Yeah, what did happen to the white girl who trips every time?
