Axes and Os (2025): A Blood-Soaked Twist on the Classic Slasher

 

Are you looking for a romance movie that offers more screams than kisses? Look no further than Axes and Os (2025), a high-octane horror film that recently slashed its way onto major streaming platforms. Directed by Trent Duncan, this blood-soaked slasher puts a modern "Galentine’s getaway" spin on the classic 80s horror vibe, delivering a wild fusion of nostalgia and supernatural mayhem.

The Plot: A Weekend Getaway Turned Nightmare

The film follows four friends, Leah, Olivia, Abby, and Dawn, as they head out for what should have been a relaxing weekend escape. However, the vacation quickly transforms into a fight for survival when they become the targets of Luther Dremel (played by Brandon Krum), a legendary Valentine’s Day ax murderer.

While the setup feels like a love letter to the golden era of slashers, Axes and Os refuses to play by the rules. As the body count rises, the film swerves into "creature-feature" territory. In a shocking twist that flips the slasher formula on its head, one of the women undergoes a chilling transformation into something otherworldly, setting the stage for a savage final showdown against the iconic axeman.

Cast and Crew: Horror Royalty Meets Indie Grit

The film is anchored by horror icon Jamie Bernadette, known for her standout performance in I Spit on Your Grave: Déjà Vu. Bernadette stars as Abby, the tough and outspoken heart of the group. She is joined by a dynamic ensemble cast, including:

Cass Huckabay

Madison M. Bowman

Brandon Krum as the infamous Luther Dremel

Writer and Director Trent Duncan, an Orlando-based filmmaker and military veteran, brings his passion for fast-paced action and horror icons to the screen. Duncan describes the project as a "wild fusion of tongue-in-cheek horror" designed to satisfy both die-hard genre fans and those looking for a unique date-night thrill.
