‘Bloody Axe Wound’ Trailer: Murder Is A Family Business

bloody axe wound

Sometimes parents make their jobs their lives, turning their money-making efforts into a daily obsession. Such is the case in writer and director Matthew John Lawrence’s new film Bloody Axe Wound. But the father figure here isn’t working a desk job. He’s actually a slasher villain with a successful snuff tape business. And let’s just say it’s making high school a little difficult for his daughter Abbie.

Read the full synopsis below:

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. 

Now watch the official trailer:

Most recently, Lawrence wrote, directed, and produced the Dread original film, Uncle Peckerhead, a punk rock horror comedy about a demon and the band who loves him. The director is back with his signature flair for comedy and he’s brought buckets of blood.
