Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyan
Kids at a first-time offenders' boot camp discover the legend of lumberjack Paul Bunyan is real, but is much more horrifying than they could have imagined. They incur the wrath of the 15-foot monstrous giant, who was banished from town 100 years ago and thought dead.
Why it matters
A campy, over-the-top backwoods slasher that retools American folklore into a lumberjack-sized bloodbath.
- Paul Bunyan as a 15-foot axe-wielding terror—giant monster meets grindhouse gore in a rare folk horror mashup.
- Lean into the practical effects and big-bad animatronics that lean hard into old-school creature feature charm.
- Perfect late-night pick for fans of rustic slashers and regional horror with a mythic twist.
- Not subtle, not polished—embraces B-movie excess with gleeful abandon, so bring your suspension of disbelief (and a sense of humor).
