Interesting facts

Edge of the Axe is a 1988 English-language Spanish slasher film directed by José Ramón Larraz, and starring Barton Faulks, Christina Marie Lane, Page Moseley, and Fred Holliday. The film centers on a masked maniac murdering people in a rural mountain town in Northern California.

Production

Edge of the Axe was produced by the Florida-based Calepas International, Inc., who partnered with several Spanish filmmakers on such films as The Sea Seperent (1985) and Pulsebeat (1985). Principal photography of Edge of the Axe occurred in Big Bear Lake, California in late June 1987.

The cast was made up of a mixture of American and Spanish actors, with the leading performers being primarily American.

The majority of the exterior scenes were filmed in Big Bear Lake, including the opening credits sequence in which Faulks' character rides his motorcycle through town. Some interior sequences were shot in Madrid, such as the inside of the car wash featured in the opening scene; in post-production, the exterior of the car wash, which was filmed in California, was cross-cut to create the illusion that they are the same location.
