Cool concept, but the acting, writing, and creatures were quite lacklustre.

Great potential but lots of misses
Crossbreed between The Ritual and The Endless.
Sadly there was room for more and I don't think the budget was the problem but quite possibly the execution and the script. It is not a bad movie yet far from something I would recommend to a fellow horror fan because it doesn't quite deliver, mostly lurks around a good premise without hitting the mark.
The Axiom has some ambition to it, it tries to tie as many ends as possible yet some remain sort of loose, not necessarily in a bad way but certainly not what we would expect out of a better production. So for an indie film, I think it did OK, my problem mostly lies in the fact that it managed to show a pretty good idea but failing to deliver as it should.
Thus all in all it comes down to everyone's opinion and nothing more. You wanna take a chance on it, do so. See how it goes down on you. Maybe don't expect much of it tho.
Cheers!

This is another oddball weird forest film. It reminded me of "Yellowbrickroad." I would suggest haters of that film wait until they can see this as a freebie.
Marylyn (Maria Granberg) goes missing in Cinder Park. Her sister and final girl McKenzie (Hattie Smith) organizes a group of friends to be a rescue party. Leon (William Kircher) from Craig's List knows where she is at. He informs McKenzie about the Axiom, a portal to other dimensions. The group enters and weird things happen.
I liked the film up until the last 20 minutes when it takes an odd turn. From then on it goes downhill and never reaches a decent climax. Good characters. Good premise. Good effort by Nicholas Woods.
