Stephen Cole

Globe and Mail

Continuously shocking and often painful to watch, the New Zealand horror film Wound should challenge its audience, many of whom believe the genre is best enjoyed as camp entertainment.

Rated: 2.5/4

Little White Lies

Playing out its hallucinatory scenarios of incest, perversion, loss and revenge in the arrested unconscious of its heroine, Wound is Repulsion for the surveillance age.

A good majority of humanity will be, and perhaps should be, offended by the images that Blyth puts forth.

Rated: 2.5/4.0

Jam! Movies

It plays like a Film 101 collection of no-budget, blood-spurting special effects; other than shock value, the film has little to offer.

Rated: 1/5

A cinematic sledgehammer, David Blyth's brazenly sick, self-indulgent work of surrealism will prove insurmountable for all but the most open-minded horror-philes.

The film they tried to ban! Who is 'they' exactly? Turns out it was just a bunch of noones (you know, Helen Lovejoy kinda loonies). Of course that is shamelessly the only reason I watched this film as it had it on the cover. It's a poorly made film with some quite hefty themes (incest, rape, murder, mental illness, take ya pick) but overall it leaves something to be desired. It seems like it could've been better constructed. Like a film that has only been about 70% realised. The budget was poor to none (fair enough, who the fuck would sponser this?) but it shows in the blood effects which are worse I've seen in a while (maybe intentional?) Competently acted though. You'll either love it or hate it.
