Film Review - Bloody Axe Wound
December 24, 2024
“Bloody Axe Wound” is meant to be a celebration of slasher cinema. Writer/director Matthew John Lawrence (“Uncle Peckerhead”) tries to make a film about cinema, especially releases from the 1980s, when producers launched countless tales of teens being hunted by killers, and all the adolescent feelings that went along with it. However, instead of simply paying homage to his favorite subgenre, Lawrence tries to get unreal in the specifics of this screen world, asking viewers to ride along with a premise that doesn’t make much sense, or at least requires a major buy-in when it comes to dark fantasy. It’s not easy to remain invested in “Bloody Axe Wound,” but the production is certainly prepared to hit the basics of blood and gore, and that might be enough for some. There’s a potentially interesting idea behind the endeavor, but one in dire need of clarification, or perhaps a bit more intensity. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
