Wound
(2010)
Wound
is a psychological
horror film (I think...)
about Susan (Kate
O'Rouke) who is a very
troubled woman. We begin
by watching her murder
her father and burying
him in the backyard.
Next, she receives a
letter that says that
she has a daughter who
would like to see her,
but Susan has never had
a daughter and the only
time she was pregnant,
at age 14, the baby was
stillborn. The now
teenage daughter Tanya
(Te Kaea Beri) also
seems to have her own
problems. When they
finally meet, it doesn't
end well especially from
Susan who heads further
down a dark path as she
dreams of what life
would be like with her
daughter. This causes
her doctor to out her in
a mental hospital, but
not before she finds out
some sort of truth about
her daughter. I think...
This film is truly
baffling to the point of
being trite. It's so in
love with it's own ideas
that it doesn't seems to
want to share any
conclusions with the
audience. Maybe if the
film was more
interesting, I try to
work out what the hell
is going on, but Wound
is pretty boring. Mind
you I wouldn't expect
anything less from the
director of the also
truly baffling Angle
Mine which heads down a
similar road.
