"Wounds" proves that an interesting premise, a good cast and good budget don't necessarily result in a good movie. The proof of the pudding is in the writing which unfortunately is the most flawed aspect of this movie. The story of a lifeless guy with no direction in life descending into dark spiral is delivered in what feels like a series of stitched segments rather than cohevise thread. The acting is also inconsistent in spite of the competent cast. This is by far the worst work from Armie Hammer who can't find a good balance between portraying demotivation and acting wooden. It starts interesting enough with a brewing sense of tension developing over a long continuous scene in a bar. That first scene is a prime example of how good direction can offset bad writing and keep things interesting - albeit poorly managing the audience's expectation by consequence since you think you're in for a different kind of ride. The horror premise of open wounds being portals to something more sinister is pretty original but then badly developed and surprisingly barely featured in the movie. It ends up more like a plot device to justify cheap graphic scares and empty meaningless mysterious scenes backed by clichéd music as opposed to a clever central theme. All in all, it's not boring, but it's definitely a niche film. If you love horrors like myself and are entertained even by any spin of the genre then this could be a good pick for a rainy Sunday afternoon. Anyone else, keep scrolling. There's plenty more fish in that Netflix sea. #horrormovies #horrorreviews #netflixhorror #horrornetflix #horrorfilms2019 #horrorfilmreviews #horrorjunkies #horrorjunk #moviereviews #moviereview https://www.instagram.com/p/B7YEpLjHXDB/?igshid=1bw4z3taybu0b
