Critics Consensus

Delightfully dark and impressively ambitious, A Wounded Fawn offers a grimly distinctive treat for slasher fans.

Noel Murray

Los Angeles Times

Stevens and company put the audience in the place of both the predator and prey. They’ve built a clever little anxiety-generating machine.

[A Wounded Fawn] is forged in fire and blood, taking [Stevens'] eye for striking visuals and elevating it to psychedelic new heights.

Rated: 3/4

The Daily Beast

Stevens marries such color-coding to an aesthetic of grainy, scratchy visuals wracked by compositional tension...

A Wounded Fawn is one of the year’s kookiest releases, joining a menagerie of disturbed creations that includes Men, Barbarian, and Something in the Dirt.

Rated: 5/5

Fort Worth Weekly

This is Travis Stevens’ third film behind Girl on the Third Floor and Jakob’s Wife, and all his horror movies offer something distinctive.

Father Son Holy Gore

The film seems to suggest that even if horrible men face no legal consequences they will, at the very least, hopefully face their own conscience someday, in some shape or form, and hopefully it hurts.

Rated: 4/5

A Wounded Fawn is ambitious and aesthetically daring, but its fractured structure and lack of narrative clarity make it a frustrating watch. Admirable in vision, uneven in execution.

Could have been worse, could have been better, the cinematography kept it a notch above.

A woman just happens to be asked out by the man who stole a small Greek statue that her museum authenticated. The man just happens to be having hallucinations that tell him to do bad things. Getting past the foolishness of this woman going to a secluded area with a man she doesn't know is the first hurdle for this film. Second is it's pretentiousness. I loved the setup with the exposition about the Erinyes but the dialogue is awkward, especially a scene between three women discussing her upcoming date. For a runtime of an hour and a half, I felt I lost twice as much of my life as that.

Pretentious as all hell and I loved this movie for it lol. The weapon is probably one of the most iconic I’ve seen, if I was a serial killer I would definitely go with something similar, even though it would probably also be a decent back scratcher too. Might be being a bit over dramatic

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

The movie itself is good but the actor who played the main role irritated the fuck out of me, especially his annoying voice. It made the movie difficult to watch even though the story was good and the atmosphere was appropriately creepy.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
