The Axiom

 "The Axiom" (2018, Nicholas Woods, Axiom Movie Production Co.,  Phoenix Down Films) is a supernatural horror film.

Mackenzie (Hattie Smith) and Martin (Zac Titus), along with some friends, head out to the National Park searching for their missing sister. They seek the help of local man, Leon (William Kircher), who should have been a dead giveaway at best that they were headed towards danger. With wild abandon for their safety, and any thought for their companions, Mackenzie and Martin dive right in.

Upon following Leon's directions, they find themselves in a hidden alternate dimension within the woods, where strange whispers, violent apparitions and possessed friends threaten their lives and sanity... 

A film with a  excellent premise but a mixture of arduous pacing and a lack of monsters rob this film of some of its promise. It does, however, have some fun with its cast and keep a couple of twists fairly well. Also, when we do finally get some monsters they are pretty well done.

 "The Axiom" is worth checking out and I enjoyed Kircher's menacing performance as devious harbinger, Leon.
