“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.

Rated: 2/4

The otherwise quirky meta slasher comedy misses the mark.

Rated: 2.5/5

Bloody Axe Wound is not funny, gory or weird enough to be the ‘80s schlock movie it wants to be.

Certainly unique; I just wish it was a bit clearer in execution.

Rated: 5/10

Though not as philosophical and meditative as “In a Violent Nature” (2024), it finds an upbeat and entertaining way to tackle existential problems.

A painfully unfunny, witless and toothless blend of horror, satire and comedy

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

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

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

"A Fun Horror Comedy" with a fresh music score created by artists from the Hudson Valley. 'Bloody Axe Wound' is a must-see and delivers an entertaining twist to the typical slasher story genre.

The premise and idea behind the film is really good but i feel that they didn’t execute it properly.

Very odd movie. It is like a dark comedy horror movie with a lesbian love story in the mix. I would not watch it unless you have an unlimited movie membership.
