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.

A film with two halves that often seem at odds with each other.

Rated: 2.5/4

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

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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated: C

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.

Rated: 2/5

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

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

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.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Although I am a huge fan of Dakota Johnson, this really didn’t do her justice. The movie was boring and lacked any kind of depth. I spent half the time rolling my eyes at the main character which pulled me out of the movie every single time. It has some good suspense and visuals here and there but that’s really the only good thing I have to say about this movie. Waste of time and energy. Don’t watch.

As a horror fanatic who gives all movies a chance, this was literally one of the worst movies i have ever seen... One big mess of questions u don't get a single answer to. Horror aspect is completely missing like the movie forgets it's supposed to be scary. I have never given a horrible rating like this one, but it deserves it 200%...
