Axegrinder 5: Blood Vengeance is a direct continuation from part 4. This means for the first 25 minutes there's lots of footage from part 4 including all of the kills. Dennis Devine returns to direct here as does one of the convict girls and the sister? Of the pretty Asian chick. This feels like something made quickly to cash in on the "name" value of the franchise. There's about 3 new kills here which are decent. The all female rock band only mentioned in the first film are the main focus here. There's also an annoying, weird, redheaded, short White dude who is somehow related to the cute Asian girl. He eats sunflowers to add comic relief. Part 3 was pretty awful and 4 redeemed the series a bit. This feels like a regression but at least it didn't feature a plethora of footage from parts 1-3. David Sterling seems to like to hamstring his directors with very limited budgets which force them to reuse footage from previous films all the time. This is only 71 minutes and is barely passable as far as backwoods slashers go. When is part 6 with footage from all 5 previous films coming out David?
