Wound

This psycho-sexual horror isn't for all the horror buffs walking around because it doesn't contain straight horror but it tricks your mind into a depraved ride between humiliation and incest.

Made by David Blythe who gave us Death Warmed Up (1984) before we ever heard of Peter Jackson was a well known kiwi exploitation director. And it shows because this is to be honest another exploitation flick. It do has nudity but one of that kind that isn't attractive and surely isn't for the easily offended. It contains some red stuff here and there and even that can shock people, just see the shower scene once the daughter discovers the blood of her mother. David didn't add gore in it but at the final we do have a slashing that is ultra gory. But many will have turned it off because it's such a weird flick, in the line of Eraserhead (1977°. I like those kind of flicks were they go into the mind of sick people like for example The Dead Girl (2006). I found the acting sublime by all.

A supernatural sickie that takes you back to the old school exploitations. Full of weird shots and offending sexuality. A classic.

OMG!!! What did I just watch? And how can I put this experience in words. I will say this, there are some things in this film, that I will not forget for a long while. One involving the two main characters Susan and her daughter Tanya, in masks also involving a guy in a mask and plastic wrap. The most mind messed up manipulating scenes I ever witnessed in any film. And a castration scene, that would not be happy until it made you really think you saw a real one. It was the most realistic you could make it, without it really happening and please David tell me that scene is not real. I am worried. The movie deals with Susan, who may or may not be suffering from mental illness. And it tackles a lot of subjects. Rape, Incest, Revenge, Death, Mind Control and just plain what is going to happen next. Tanya, the daughter was quite possibly the hottest female I have seen this year in any film. There is a scene in the beginning with a counselor and her that you know by the tone and words being exchanged if this truly is a movie for you. Susan, starts the movie normal enough, but within minutes you are thrown right into her world. She is a servant to Master John, and those scenes are so cruel. You feel for her. Or do you. You find out as the movie goes on she is no angel, and her past she is ridden with a lot of guilt from things she has done and decisions she made, and thru the beauty of this film David lets you live them all out with her. This film is no horror film in the terms of a Jigsaw, or Freddy Kruger, its a horror film in the feeling of a they wont do this scene, OK they did it, he wont take it further. Oh man he did. This film is shocking, controversial, sick, depressing, and cruel. I loved it all. I don't know who is worst. David Blyth for creating this film, or for me loving it so much. This is no art film, or a statement movie. This is pure nightmare. Its a manipulative, sad and very challenging movie to make you feel, react and trust me by the end you will either be loving it or hating it. This is the film all those people who think they have seen it all, well here it is. And trust me, this film is just as controversial if not a little more than a Serbian Film.

OK I am a huge fan of some of the most disturbing films ever committed to celluloid and for some reason this film rubbed me the wrong way. I was disturbed and unsettled but not in a good way or the way that any of the recent french body horror films have disturbed me. The director of this film made one of my favorite zombie films of the 1980's Death Warmed Up and has slipped into shadows ever since. I am not sure if I want to know the depths of those shadows that has caused him to make this film nearly 30 years later. I warn everyone in advance this is not for the weak of heart and is every bit as offensive and disturbing as Human Centipede 2, A Serbian Film and the Antichrist. Hell I think it may exceed some of those. This film reminding me a bit of that fantastic 2009 aussi effort Family Demons but nowhere near as good. To be honest this film dragged out in the last quarter and may have fit a short film instead of a full length feature film. In defence there is a lot worse out there and if you can get by the first 10 minutes of the film, hell you may enjoy it more than I did.

This film doesn't even deserve a one star rating. The actors and actresses, special effects are way beyond horrible. The simple fact is that an elementary school child could have made a better film. What truly amazes me are all the positive reviews of this dribble labeled a film. I only could stand to watch about 2 minutes before I just had to turn it off. Any positive reviews come from people either smoking their own supply or just simply paid off lackeys trying to generate some type of income for the film. Do not even waste your time watching this trash. In my opinion a root canal would be more enjoyable then having to suffer anymore than five minutes of this movie. Anyone else who says otherwise is just outright living in fantasy land.

One thing is clear (not only by the first two comments left for the film) and that is, that movie will divide peoples opinion. And I'm guessing that is exactly what the filmmaker intended to do. So goal achieved, everyone is happy, right?

That is for you to decide, if you are willing to go into a trip that is more than bizarre and really not an easy view. I liked a few ideas and some visuals (even the slow moving pace didn't bother me, but I'm thinking it will offend some people, if they are not offended by the effects already). But it seemed to be missing something. It is crazy and has tendencies to show some things, but leave other things to your imagination.

And then it dares to challenge the viewer to make up his/her mind, to what they think about certain social situations. It is very graphic and it is very disturbing. I'm not going to dare you, to watch it. But bare in mind, that if you do not get into the movie up until the first 10 minutes, you never will!
