This found footage horror film absolutely does not go where you think it's going to go. There will be many comparisons to the Duplass classic Creep, but Old Wounds does something very different by the time it's over.

All three performances are great, from the new couple played by Steven Hugh Nelson and Chelsey Grant, to the diabolical turn by Brian Villalobos as the unwanted guest.

The film does a great job at keeping you on your heels and you can never quite tell where it's headed. The editing is maybe the most impressive part outside the acting - with found footage films, it's easy to feel like the story is dragging, but this moves along from scene to scene, always keeping you right there.

Great subliminal sound design choices too throughout. I'd guess there was one, maybe two crew outside of the main actors and it is skillfully executed and portrayed. Highly recommended!

This is a tense and masterfully rendered depiction of every parent's worst nightmare. The filmmaker uses the best tools of cinema to show a morning in the life of a mother going through a modern-day horror story. The camera work, editing choices and music are all top notch. I saw this at the Sedona International Film Festival in a short film block and it was evident that it made a major impact on the audience. I found out a couple days later that it had won the Best Short Drama category and these filmmakers are truly deserving. I highly recommend checking this out when it's available online or streaming.

Excellent film about familial power struggles. Packed tight with great performances, suspense and powerful action scenes. Armbruster has incredible talent as a director.
