This April, we’re spotlighting the freshest and most fear-inducing new arrivals to Shudder — and kicking things off with a bloody bang.

First up: Bloody Axe Wound, a twisted coming-of-age slasher that’s equal parts gory and gripping. Starring Sari Arambulo, Molly Brown, Billy Burke, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the film follows Abbie Bladecut (Arambulo), a teenager grappling with the terrifying legacy of her blood-soaked lineage. As the daughter of infamous serial killer Roger Bladecut, Abbie’s journey to self-discovery is anything but ordinary. Haunted by her past and stalked by a copycat killer with a vendetta, Abbie must confront the darkness that runs through her veins — and decide whether she’s destined to follow in her father’s footsteps or forge a different path.

Bloody Axe Wound blends slasher nostalgia with sharp modern edge, making it a standout entry in Shudder’s April lineup. Stay tuned as we continue to explore the must-watch horror dropping this month.
