My expectations for this film was very high because of the cast and that Babak Anvari's last film, "Under The Shadow" was exceptional to say the very least.
Wounds starts like a mysterious and disturbing horror film something to do with a Will (Armie Hammer) a bartender discovering a smartphone and cockroaches. He lives a normal life with his girlfriend Carrie (Dakota Johnson) and things starts to change after he witnesses a huge fight in his bar. It's first 30 minutes is very promising but once we start going to the second act it starts to fall apart and the film relies more on "holy s**t" movements rather than a convincing plot.
The film ends ambiguously and doesn't really give us an idea about Babak wanted to explore. Aside from Armie's brilliant performance there isn't a lot to take from Wounds. A run of the mill decent yet wasted potential horror film.
