Film ThreatNorman GidneyFeb 2, 2019
Wounds is a visceral, disturbing descent into the destruction of a man that hits all of the conventional horror notes with sadistic joy taking viewers on a ride straight to hell. Read full review

The New York TimesHelen T. VerongosOct 17, 2019
The lack of local color notwithstanding, the movie more than fulfills its promise to unsettle and to incite shivers — and it doesn’t quit. Read full review
