“Pickaxe” (*1/2 out of four) was an abysmal horror potboiler set in 1982 about a brutal mass murderer thought to be dead and buried but is soon awoken by a group of partying teenagers (Cory Ahre, Kerry Beyer, Drew Brown, and others) and he rises from the grave with (you guessed it) a pickaxe to wreak more havoc and many more killings. Less a nostalgia piece for 1982 than a really bad movie from 1982 but this would have been terrible no matter what year it was released. Brutal acting provides the only real scares here.
