      Film Threat

      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.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      Voracious genre consumers should get off on trying to decipher the densely textured film's murky ambiguities.

      Variety

      Anvari has set out to make a mood piece that succeeds in scaring the audience senseless.

      The Telegraph

      It's decent but not deep fare, connecting most with the theme of alcoholism as a different kind of tempting but terrible abyss.

      Ultimately, it’s hard to figure out exactly what movie Anvari was trying to make.

      IndieWire

      The film’s threadbare story runs parallel to some compelling ideas about masculine insecurity, internalized pain, and the price of genetic privilege, but Anvari’s well-calibrated jump-scare machine is too preoccupied with gross effects, unmotivated jolts, and that strange rash that’s growing in Hammer’s left armpit to engage with any of them.

      The A.V. Club

      Hammer’s character, Will, is an empty vessel, no more than an updated model of the jerkwad boyfriend in every ’80s slasher.

      The Guardian

      The performers are left with very little to work with and while Hammer does find away of making the most of his haunted alcoholic, Johnson and Zazie Beetz, two wonderful actors, are stranded with hopelessly one-dimensional roles.
