Reviews:
“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.” ★★½ Blu-ray.com
“Bloody Axe Wound had a really fun idea but didn’t do it justice. It gets lost creating that combination of slasher and coming-of-age flick and never quite recovers. It’s a shame as the ingredients are there, both through the performances and visually, but the imbalanced nature of it is frustrating.” ★★½ Film Carnage
“There are only a few jokes—and tropes and ideas—that the makers of the slasher comedy Bloody Axe Wound don’t skate by without a second glance. That’s a shame because there are also a few intriguing plot twists—and gags and allusions—that make this semi-serious genre hybrid worth getting your hopes up about. ” 2 out of 4, RogerEbert.com
