*a screener of this film was provided by Breaking Glass Pictures.
*here be spoilers.
Director/writer: David Blyth.
Wound caused some controversy in its native country of New Zealand for using some very disturbing images. Those disturbing images did not stop distribution company Breaking Glass Pictures from releasing this film March 6th on DVD. The early castration scene and later vaginal secretions will likely unsettle most viewers. This is a film that tries to provoke while including elements of Theatre of the Absurd where anything can and will happen.
The story is focused on Susan (Kate O'Rourke) and her loss of mental health. Robbed of her sexuality by her father, Susan went on to conceive his child. The story is ambivalent regarding how many children Susan gave birth to; that does not seem to be the point. The film might be about Susan's last moments and of her regrets, possibly involving matricide and patricide.

Wound is a seriously messed up film. So messed up in fact, I genuinely worry about its creator David Blyth. Confusing, conflicted, disturbing and disgusting, Wound takes a lot of taboo topics and strings them together. It can best be described as David Lynch and Dario Argento's love child for it has all those elements. It has the nonsensical weird dialog, the ultra bright violence and the deepening madness.
The 'plot' follows Susan (played maddeningly well by Kate O'Rourke) a single middle aged nut case who is also a telemarketer, ah now that profession makes sense! She works from home, living day by day, crapping into foil and storing it in a freezer, killing her dad, engaging in strange masochistic rituals with a magician that wears sneakers, you know the usual. The idea is essentially that Susan is mad, the majority of the film is questionably in her head,...

Wound Movie PosterDirector David Blyth (Death Warmed Up) is a New Zealand based horror director who is no stranger to controversy. His film Angel Mine challenged censorship standards and his feature Death Warmed Up incorporated themes of matricide and patricide. Now, after a six year pause, Blyth returns with another shocking film piece entitled Wound.
This latest film takes some material from Greek myth and modernizes the work for a new audience. The film tackles abuse and abandonment issues as character Susan (Kate O'Rourke) confronts some family problems in a very disturbing manner. A second photo for the film is available below, but here is a warning before you proceed; the still below is graphic, gorey and not safe for work. Have a look at all the available material on Wound, here, before these elements of Greek tragedy make an appearance on the big screen at Frightfest August 29th.
