Being The Daughter Of A Slasher Isn’t Easy In ‘Bloody Axe Wound’ Trailer
by Tito W. James
Bloody Axe Wound is a film that skewers and celebrates the slasher genre. Gallows humor, gore, and forbidden romance collide in this madcap horror comedy. In the age of A24-styled “Elevated Horror” I’ve missed the unapologetic fun of the slasher genre. But slashers need to evolve with the times and I believe that Bloody Axe Wound may awaken a love of horror in new audiences.
“Abbie Bladecut is a teenager torn between the macabre traditions of her family’s bloody trade and the tender stirrings of her first crush. In the small town of Clover Falls, Abbie’s father, Roger Bladecut, has built an infamous legacy by capturing real-life killings on tape and selling them to eager customers, but as Abbie delves deeper into the grisly family business, she begins to wonder if it’s time to take the family tradition in a new direction.”
