What to Know

Critics Consensus

Wounds isn't without its creepy-crawly charms, but they -- and the efforts of a talented cast -- get squished by a story that never quite gets completely under the skin.

The actual scares and suspense within this horror-thriller are far from frightening. Go to Full Review

A film with two halves that often seem at odds with each other. Go to Full Review

The movie more than fulfills its promise to unsettle and to incite shivers - and it doesn't quit. Go to Full Review

I really ought to be giving this one star, but the insanity of what’s on screen is so strangely fascinating that I somewhat recommend it in an ironic way. Go to Full Review

It's not precisely terrible -- these are all talented people involved. It's just one or two degrees off from working, but those one or two degrees, with a project this high-wire, defeats it. Go to Full Review

It builds to this really absurd ending, which is really fascinating, but I don't think it pays off the way it thinks it does. Go to Full Review

Alejandro C @Alejandro1950 Nov 28 Una auténtica porquería. No pierdas ni un minuto en verla 🤮👎👎👎 See more Iamwhoi M Nov 22 Seems like the movie got tired of being a movie, so it just stopped. Could've, should've been so much better. It just never went anywhere that made even a modicum of sense. See more Matthew L. @Moviefanatic02 Oct 28 Found this movie to be extremely confusing, did not understand what was going on the majority of the time. Wounds was one of the most confusing and nonsensical movies I’ve ever watched. The plot felt all over the place, and by the end, nothing really came together or made sense in the bigger picture. It’s one of those films where you keep waiting for that big reveal or explanation that ties everything together — but it never happens. The pacing drags, the story jumps around with no clear direction, and the characters don’t feel developed enough to make you care about what’s happening. Honestly, if you want to be bored and frustrated at the same time, this is the movie to watch. Overall, Wounds had potential to be a chilling psychological thriller, but instead it turned into a confusing mess that left me wondering why I wasted my time on it. See more charlie - Oct 2 This is probably one of the worst things I have ever watched. It actually makes me mad that I watched this and wasted my time. Boooooo 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅 See more Stoner J @Stoner Aug 23 I love original horror flicks but this one, the story, most definitely wasn’t fully fleshed out. Very confusing most of the time and a super abrupt and short end also didn’t do it for me See more WhereTo2 N Jul 15 This movie is a hodgepodge of random, and loosely connected storylines. There is some buildup, and the movie had an opportunity to somewhat redeem itself, but it never does. More disappointingly, as it reaches the ending it drops off. The actual ending doesn’t even begin to bring the story together. The thrill of this movie is the amount of disappointment you will feel when the credits begin to roll. See more Read all reviews
