It’s been a few months since we brought you the poster for the deranged British drama AXED, and now we’ve got the trailer for you. Flick looks like a seriously disturbing experience, in which a man takes his family to task – in extreme ways – after getting sacked from his job.

AXED, was written and directed by Ryan Driscoll and recently played at the London Independent Film Festival; it also won Best Screenplay at the Bram Stoker International Film Fest. No doubt, it’s worth keeping an eye on.

Here’s how the plot breaks down:

With the world in financial turmoil, Kurt Wendell has been shaken to the core. His job had always been his anchor, the one place that kept him sane. But now they’ve taken it away from him. And his demons are finally taking over…


Unable to tell his family the dreadful truth, Kurt decides to make some serious cutbacks…


Granting his children a day off school and his wife a day off work, he drives the whole family to a remote spot, miles from civilization. Little do they know what he has in store for them…


One last bit of business, a final project that is both sinister and deadly, involving his wife, his children, and the savagely beaten man trapped in the attic…


It’s not only Kurt Wendell that’s getting AXED, as his ex-boss and his horrified family are about to find out, one by one…

Check out the trailer below and look for more AXED news as we get it.
