Lizzie Borden Took an Ax

2014 91 min PG-13 Drama · Mystery · Thriller

It's time to bury the hatchest

A sweltering New England summer, the whir of an old fan. A quiet spinster arranges an axe on a cellar shelf. Neighbors whisper through picket fences as the blades glint in afternoon light. The trial unfolds under klieg lights, ink-stained sheets screaming her name. Respectability curdles into scandal once pennies turn to scandal sheets. A Fuller Brush salesman would call it a merchandising wonder.

Directed by Nick Gomez · Written by Stephen Kay

Starring Christina Ricci, Clea DuVall, Gregg Henry, Stephen McHattie, Shawn Doyle, Sara Botsford
