Wounds

This film tells the story of a bartender who encounter strange happenings after finding a phone.

Even with all the violence and gore, the film is boring. It delivers no thrill or suspense. From the extended bar fight scenes in the beginning, it can be seen the film is pretty bad already. I don't know how this film can get quite a few big names to star in it.

This movie had potential--you can feel it in a typical but not unpleasant way. The issue is that no thread is tied up in this film. Armie Hammer plays it well enough, but the effort is wasted on a story that doesn't know what it wants to be in the end. Is it Lovecraftian? Is it body horror? Is it straight up demonic? Sadly, the answer is that it doesn't manage to properly employ any of these horror sub-genres in any meaningful way. Unlikable characters are alright in the right setting, but here, nothing builds up or leads out from it. They aren't so much on a journey as they are being carried, and the worst part of the film is that there is no finish line. You're left with the equivilant of half-sipped, flat soda. Sure, you could have it, but you'd much prefer something full and fresh. I suggest you pass on this one.

At the end I found myself wondering if I'd blinked and missed a vital plot point because nothing was explained (and not in a "ooh ambiguous and intelligent" way).

Good performances from all involved but as a massive fan of Under The Shadow, I found myself very disappointed.

I love Armie Hammer, and you have to hand it to him he gives a terrific, sincere and energetic performance, he is a cut above in this film.

The film itself, did they stop making it half way? I really enjoyed the first half, it had some great ideas, and some wonderfully dark scenes, but what on Earth was that ending all about, the titles rolled and all I could think, was are they having a laugh?

An ambiguous ending can work, if done well, but this was clumsy, and felt lazy, I don't always want a resolution in a film, but don't build the action, go for the shock, then pull it.

It's such a shame, I really enjoyed what I saw, but it's half baked, make your mind up. 6/10

Had no clue what was going on throughout the whole film and the characters were so boring. The only reason I watched until the end was in hopes of finding out what it was all about- but nope didnt happen.
