The slasher comedy is coming to carve up your Christmas season.

RLJE Films and Shudder have BLOODY AXE WOUND coming to select theaters December 27. Written and directed by Matthew John Lawrence (UNCLE PECKERHEAD), it stars Sari Arambulo, Molly Brown, Eddie Leavy, Jeffrey Dean Morgan (THE WALKING DEAD) and Billy Burke (DRIVE ANGRY). The synopsis: “Abbie Bladecut [Arambulo] 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 [Burke], 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.”
