You’re left with the sense that these ingredients, mixed slightly differently, could have added up to something rather more delicious, but as it is, your attention is drawn repeatedly to the artificiality of it all.

“Bloody Axe Wound” has a lot of incidents and a clear idea of where its characters should end up, but not much style of its own or a knack for connecting one formulaic dot to the next.

2.5/5

At its core, Bloody Axe Wound is a frustrating horror comedy that is largely saved by its huge heart. There is a lot of charm here and the actors really give it their all.

It’s easy to admire Lawrence’s use of throwbacky practical effects, but the retro visual aesthetic lacks the specificity to render it even shamelessly effective nostalgia, and the clumsy editing betrays an overall dearth of comic timing.

2/5

Although there's a somewhat charming teen romance at its center, this gory slasher movie spoof is too full of aggravating logic holes and ideas that flat-out don't work.

Once Bloody Axe Wound properly gets underway, it’s worthwhile, but the way it ties its narrative shoelaces together on some points is noticeable.

Done so cheap it is hard to take seriously. I get the concept and what it was doing but man it was like a student film you really do not want to watch but just watch it because a someone you know directed it

The acting was actually quite good. Probably one of the better shot shudder originals I’ve seen loved all the music, and all the callbacks to slasher from the 80s it’s homage to video stores and horror comics

I didn’t like this movie. I think it’s better than the bloodline killer and this movie didn’t feel so long like their last project. I gotta say the gore is amazing that one kill or the lady got her face literally axed off that was great and this movie did have some very funny moments. This movie was just to Disney for me though and the dialogue was absolutely corny. If this movie didn’t have those corny dialogue and it wasn’t so done cheap like a Disney movie I would’ve liked it.

Definitely a different spin and comedy in the slasher genre. I enjoyed. It was a coherent story. The antagonist was good. The costars all played good roles. The protagonist was the only issue because her acting was the weakest part of the movie and a weak kill scene were there only bad parts. I would recommend.
