Horror director Matthew John Lawrence's latest film, 'Bloody Axe Wound,' was greenlit after 'Walking Dead' star Jeffrey Dean Morgan and his wife Hilarie Burton DM'd Lawrence to say they were fans of his previous cult hit 'Uncle Peckerhead'.
The film's killer soundtrack features songs written by veteran composer Jeff Riddle, who Lawrence collaborated with to create music that 'mirrors or accentuates' the emotions of the characters without being 'didactic or heavy-handed.'
