In the sleepy city of Clover Falls, common teenagers are butchered with regularity by a disfigured masked killer within the Freddy/Jason/Michael mode, named Roger Bladecut (Billy Burke). Their deaths are (someway, invisibly) filmed and offered as horror films on the native video retailer, run by Roger Bladecut. This maniac’s daughter, Abbie (Sari Arambulo), is for some cause eager to comply with in her father’s footsteps, however when she begins hanging out with different teenagers realises that perhaps murdering your fellow people isn’t all its cracked as much as be.
Even a cursory define of the premise might be sufficient to set alarm bells ringing for anybody with even a passing curiosity in believable world-building. For these keen to droop their disbelief, Bloody Axe Wound options some charismatic performances (from Sam Crane and Eddie Leavy particularly), a banging soundtrack filled with riot grrrl riffs, and a few good juicy sensible gore results.
However that premise actually doesn’t work. Abbie expresses her reluctance to slaughter her pals, and her dad tells her robust shit, the video retailer will probably be in peril of going out of enterprise if she doesn’t commit; it’s neither so foolish that you simply may simply go along with it, neither is it a intelligent exploration of dysfunctional household dynamics à la cannibal film We Are What We Are.
The current gore film Terrifier 3 options equally pointless world-building and lore in a movie that didn’t want it, however that doesn’t endure as a result of it’s so successfully put collectively that you simply’re too busy cheering on the brutal kills and grand-guignol set items. Sadly, Bloody Axe Wound doesn’t have fairly sufficient distraction method, giving the viewers far an excessive amount of time to begin questioning how on earth any of that is supposed to hold collectively. You’re left with the sense that these substances, blended barely in another way, may have added as much as one thing reasonably extra scrumptious, however as it’s, your consideration is drawn repeatedly to the artificiality of all of it in a manner that does the movie as an entire no favours.
