Three stories merge from the mind of a writer trapped in a coma in hospital, but only one can be real. Whilst George Carney’s Doctor (Oliver Tobias) diagnosis that the chances of recovery are slim. Hallucinations confuse what is real in the life of Editor George Carney. With his Comic book sales in decline, he is told by his Editor Martha Debney (Lysette Anthony) to write a book on black magic. She has come into contact with a diary belonging to the occultist Aleister Crowley and seeks the truth behind the pages. On his journey, a Vicodin dependent Carney struggles to fathom what is real and as he starts to unlock the dark secrets surrounding the book, he is drawn deeper into a web of lies and fate. Weaving throughout the story are flashbacks of Carneys earlier book “The Enforcer”, and the real time actions of crime fighting comic book hero and Carney’s alter ego, Maverick McMillian (Michael Madsen) who is tracking down the treacherous ‘Bard’. ‘The Bard’ is also out to seek a vendetta against McMillian by using those in his employ like the Mayor (Patrick Bergin), who has no qualms in killing especially since McMillian murdered his brother. On McMillian’s quest to find ‘The Bard’ he has the help of Zilia (Bai Ling). She knows much that is happening in the world that is around her, this being either the comic book world or the real world. Both constantly challenge Carney’s subconscious, and as we delve deeper into each world, reality starts to bleed. McMillian takes to the fight in the last issue of the ‘Enforcer’ comic, and breaks through into the real world, coming face to face with his creator. Whilst Carney delves deeper into the diary of Crowley with the help of Walther (Sylvester McCoy),and comes to find a darker power within it’s pages. With gangsters and crazed Shakespearean obsessives attempting to stop the pair in their quests; will they win the day.

‘A Man in the Woods With an Axe’ – First Look at ’80s Throwback Slasher [Exclusive]

Published

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.

Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.

Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.

Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.

“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”

Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.

From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
