A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

A supernatural horror film that explores the dark worlds of mental illness, incest, revenge and death...With all due respect to the writer and director, this film would best be handled if given to someone who had the ability and funding to fully realize the material. It is clear that a great idea is here and it is executed fairly well, but still leaves something to be desired.The story is decent, but the intent is clearly stylistic and visual. Some of the gore and flesh scenes call David Cronenberg to mind, and I would love to see how Cronenberg would have handled this script. Again, the germ of this story is strong, but it was not given the soil and nutrients needed to fully blossom into a mature elm.I neither recommend this film or ask you to steer clear -- just know that what you are witnessing is a director whose time has not yet come (but may soon).

OK, if you read the other reviews you find out this is a bad movie. And I am going to help you out here.This movie is about an insane woman that went through a disturbing childhood (Incest and S & M). So grown up she is much the same way. OK, why should you not watch this movie? It is very convoluted which is alright if they tie it together in the end. They do not. David Blyth who wrote and directed was clearing trying to tell a story. The problem is he never lets you know what story he is telling. There is a lot of artsy camera work, dream scenes, the whole "boy isn't this movie Vanguard" kind of thing, but you will keep asking yourself "why" and that questions is never answered.Save yourself some time, this movie does not tell a story which is what movies are supposed to do, even bad ones. In the end it is just a bunch of scenes put together and that is it. The story David Blyth had in mind with this movie regretfully stayed in his mind and did not make it on the screen.

This film doesn't even deserve a one star rating. The actors and actresses, special effects are way beyond horrible. The simple fact is that an elementary school child could have made a better film. What truly amazes me are all the positive reviews of this dribble labeled a film. I only could stand to watch about 2 minutes before I just had to turn it off. Any positive reviews come from people either smoking their own supply or just simply paid off lackeys trying to generate some type of income for the film. Do not even waste your time watching this trash. In my opinion a root canal would be more enjoyable then having to suffer anymore than five minutes of this movie. Anyone else who says otherwise is just outright living in fantasy land.

Delving into the darkest chasms that family ties can hold, Wound is quite an experience. It centers on Susan, a deeply troubled young lady who commits a purgative (and gruesome) act of violence at the outset, but then finds herself plagued by her lost daughter and cannot escape her demons. To say more would be spoiling things, suffice to say that Wound has a good deal of the Lynchian to it, though Lynch never got this wild. Up front sexual perversion and several sequences of strikingly grotesque imagery mixed into a patchy structure of fantastical psycho-drama, in a mostly ordinary setting with low fi production values, this is definitely going to be quite an audience divider. It's the second horror from director David Blyth, after Death Warmed Up (which I haven't seen) but the long gap between that film and this hardly shows, there's a punky energy and ferocious derangement here that feels pleasingly fresh. Fearless performances keep things intense, Kate O'Rourke and Te Kaea Beri do fine work as mother Susan and daughter Tanya respectively, both thrown into some seriously twisted situations and they perform with gusto, holding the film together despite its fractured structure. Campbell Cooley and Brendan Gregory hold up the male side of things, the former suitably creepy as an S&M master. Men do not by and large come off well in this one, but then neither does almost anyone, this isn't trying to be an even handed film or even one of rounded characters but more of a nightmare trip and in that respect it does pretty well. A little more of the ordinary would have helped though, things start to get a little exhausting and more could have been done to offset the strangeness. Then on the other hand, some of the leafy suburban New Zealand locales do provide a bit of grounding to things. The film also feels a little short, though it gets its point across, such as I thought its point to be, things are somewhat underdeveloped, there's fascinating potential in the characters and themes that as the end credits roll is left to the audiences imagination. Of course its equally possible that repeat viewings would make everything clearer, but I think the complaint still stands. Finally, the gore effects show their budget, but then this is perhaps for the best. An outcry and attempt to ban this one by NZ moral campaigners foundered at the sight of its, well, not 100% convincing effects, so perhaps they are why the film wasn't locked away. Despite these complaints, I had a fine time with this one, it's a little tricky to fully recommend as its sure to rub a good deal up the wrong way, but if you can stand surreal ambition, grim perversion and low brow splatter fused in a disturbed and slightly shonky hybrid, this will be a film for you.
