‘Bloody Axe Wound’ Stars On Their New Meta Slasher [Watch]

Matthew John Lawrence loves music and he doesn’t care who knows it, which is apparent in both his Uncle Peckerhead and his latest film Bloody Axe Wound. Both are infused with a love for punk rock, and while Uncle Peckerhead is all about the music, Bloody Axe Wound uses music to paint an emotional tapestry of love, family, and gruesome murder. And helping fill in that tapestry with their skillful performances are Sari Arambulo as the vicious yet kind Abbie Bladecut and Molly Brown as the calm, cool, and collected Sam.

In the film,

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. 

We spoke with Arambulo and Brown about their introduction to horror, the film’s queerness, and the power of broad daylight in scary movies.
