after tripping over Cassidy's body before running into the woods, leaving her fate unknown. Cast Tiffany Shepis as Denise Brinke Stevens as Sheriff Charlene Wopuzer Elissa Dowling as Stacy Arielle Brachfeld as Deputy Darlene Whitfield Scot Pollard as Bill "The Axeman" Chantelle Albers as Cassidy Stephen Eith as Brian Corbin Dylan Hobbs as Doug Jamie Bernadette as Tammy Erin Marie Hogan as Liz Eliza Kiss as Vivian Nihilist Gelo as Randy Joston Theney as Darren Carlos Javier Castillo as Vale Ray Trickett as Paulie Suzi Hale as Maureen Paula Tracy Wilson as Adele Reception Bloody Disgusting panned the film overall, criticizing the script for not delving into the reasons that the titular Axeman was killing people, as this would give the film more depth and differentiate it from multiple similarly plotted films. Theron Moore of Horror News praised the film's villain and kills, but criticized the glacial pace, uninteresting subplots, stiff acting, and two-dimensional dialogue and writing. Ain't It Cool News gave a mostly favorable review for Axeman, commenting that while the movie was not "reinventing the slasher genre" it "does feel like a throwback to a time when the slashers weren't so passé." Sequel A sequel entitled Axeman 2: Overkill, also written and directed by Joston Theney, was announced in 2014 and released straight-to-DVD and online retailers on October 17, 2017. Only Theney and Arielle Brachfeld reprise their roles from the original, with Bryan Clark replacing Scot Pollard as the titular character, in addition to Kailena Mai replacing Jamie Bernadette as Tammy, Whitney Nielsen replacing Erin Marie Hogan as Liz, and Maria Olsen replacing Paula Tracy Wilson as Adele. The film also stars Farrah Abraham, Rachel Reilly, Angelica Bridges, and Peter Stickles, and features a second axeman portrayed by Michael Wayner Foster.
