Starring Kate O'Rourke Te Kaea Beri and Campbell Cooley
Before sitting down at the keyboard to write this review, I felt it appropriate to watch this movie a second time, which I am glad I did, because after watching it the first time all I could do was turn to my girlfriend and ask her, “What the fuck just happened? What did we just watch?” The second time around I was able to tune out the visual onslaughts and focus my attention on figuring out the story behind the madness.

Wound basically explores the dark worlds of mental illness, incest, revenge and death. We follow two main characters, Susan (Kate O'Rourke) who's mental illness has her trapped in a netherworld which is half dream-scape and half reality. Tormented by a past filled with violence and incest and a present filled with bizarre obsessions and compulsions, sexual fetish's, murder and gory retribution. And then we have Tanya (Te Kaea Beri), the daughter she gave up for dead as a baby who has returned to seek a dark revenge of her own.
