Axeman 2: Overkill is a horror movie released in 2017. It is a sequel to the 2013 film Axeman and is directed by Joston Theney. The movie stars Bryan E. Clark II, Michael Wayne Foster, and Farrah Laurel Abraham. The movie takes place in a small town in Louisiana. The Axeman, a brutal serial-killer, is back in town and is determined to kill everyone in his path. The town is terrorized by this masked killer, who wields his signature weapon, an axe, and leaves a trail of blood wherever he goes. The people of the town live in fear, unsure of who will be the Axeman's next victim.

The movie follows a group of survivors who are trying to escape the town, but are trapped by the Axeman. They must fight for their lives and come up with a plan to stop the killer before he kills them all. The group of survivors comprises of a priest, a detective, a con artist, and a bartender.

The movie opens with a massacre at a hospital where the Axeman kills anyone who crosses his path. The police are unable to track down the killer, and the survivors who managed to escape are scared of leaving the safety of the hospital. The townsfolk are divided into those who are afraid and those who are taking advantage of the situation to loot and pillage.

As the movie progresses, the survivors realize that the Axeman has something more sinister planned. He is not just satisfied with killing everyone in the town, but he also wants to send a message that will strike fear into the hearts of the nation. The survivors must come together and stop the Axeman before he causes more harm.

The movie is full of suspense, gore, and jump-scares. It is not for the faint-hearted, with several scenes that are extremely violent and bloody. The acting is decent, with Bryan E. Clark II delivering a believable performance as the Axeman. The other actors do a decent job, but their characters are not fleshed out enough to make them memorable.

The movie's visuals are impressive, with the cinematography capturing the beautiful Louisiana landscape. The dark, atmospheric lighting adds to the horror and suspense of the movie. The sound design is effective, with the score adding to the tension and fear. The movie's gore effects are also impressive and gruesome.

However, the movie has some issues with pacing, with some scenes dragging on for too long, and the movie's climax feeling rushed. The characters are not well-developed, and their motivations are not clear, making it hard to root for them.

In conclusion, Axeman 2: Overkill is a decent horror movie that has its share of jump-scares, gore, and suspense. It may appeal to fans of the genre, but it is not a movie that will leave a lasting impression. It suffers from pacing issues and underdeveloped characters, but its visuals and sound design make up for its flaws.
