Wounds

I wonder if the actors read the script before signing up to do this movie? The dialogue was terrible and had me cringing with embarrassment listening to them trying to belt out their ridiculous lines.

I'd give this one a miss.

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.

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.

Starts off ok, there's a bar fight, the bartender picks up a phone left behind. From then on, what is going on??? Anytime you think it'll start making it sense, it just gets worse. Added to that, it doesn't help that the characters are as dull as watching paint dry. Even the cockroaches had more credibility. Avoid.

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.
