A Wounded Fawn Reviews
Pretentious as all hell and I loved this movie for it lol. The weapon is probably one of the most iconic I’ve seen, if I was a serial killer I would definitely go with something similar, even though it would probably also be a decent back scratcher too. Might be being a bit over dramatic
The movie itself is good but the actor who played the main role irritated the fuck out of me, especially his annoying voice. It made the movie difficult to watch even though the story was good and the atmosphere was appropriately creepy.
art history, mythology, cigarettes after sex, giallo, 16mm film. there’s no way i can’t be biased about this movie.
You're either arty forty or You're not. I was disappointed but I did think of Argento and Evil Dead and that's not a bad thing.
Just terrible. Spend your 90 minutes doing something more enjoyable like watching paint dry.
Oh my goodness, what are the good reviews about this movie???…it sucked sucked sucked sucked. It was absolutely horrible. Do not waste your time. People must be getting paid to write great reviews or something. I would give this movie -5 stars, if I could. Complete waste of time and right up there with the worst movies of all time! Bad!!!!
This is another one where I think the average horror movie fan has no interest in anything thought-provoking, which is fine, but it is unfair to the quality of the film, which is high quality, and definitely different as a slasher. That said, it wasn't perfect, and it was better appreciated with a 2nd viewing, but, if you like horror and you have an open mind, check it out.
This is top tier sophisticated art house horror at it's finest. Ignore the negative reviews. They're left by stupid people that can't appreciate anything but run of the mill slasher horror. There's nothing else like this movie. Just watch it.
Turned this movie off 30 minutes in. Absolutely awful. Low-budget wannabe art film. Do not waste your time.
act 1 is hard to watch, especially towards it's end- but that makes act 2 so much better 10/10 can't stop watching
I know this is petty but I don't have any idea why the producers would run that generic dust/film filter on a film that is obviously contemporary in terms of date. The cinematography is very well done and then they drag that basic after effects filter on there and it cheapens the entire look and mood of the movie. What someone would be thinking to make that decision is so far beyond me that it's hard to really enjoy and focus on the plot. But in doing so, what we find out is that like most of the other Shudder originals, it's not scary at all, it's not a horror movie, there's really not even much suspense. Their idea is a jump scare is a dog running in front of someone. So yeah, one of those Shudder originals that feels very much like an ‘original' (that is to say low budget and kind of generic). Acting well done, cinematography well done, the pieces are in place except for missing a well written script. Oh, and of course that horrible, generic filter.
I came into this movie blindly, not knowing what it was about. Once it reached the part close to the beginning when the lady (seemingly sharp) let's the stranger into her home alone, at night, based on the notion of a financial proposition... I instantly lost credibility in the movie. How unrealistic that seemed. After what entailed in the next few minutes I couldn't continue on with an open mind.
Unique and perfectly executed.
Wounded fawn is a graphic spectacle of justice being served. The theme is very well maintained throughout the entirety of the movie. The story seems to put it's emphasis on that there's art even in the most twisted minds and the expressions of those chains of thought is dread. Visuals are brilliant, descriptive and rich with colour of meaning. Great cinematography transitioning abruptly to bring out the mysterious nature of the affairs. Great work by the cast increasing the tension in the story by each passing minute. Wounded fawn is a story about a hunter's mind on deathbed and that journey is a nauseating but a thrilling one for horror fans.
An interesting look at a feminist tale from a cis-gendered straight male director's perspective. Stylistically speaking this film is blazing on all cylinders, although the choice for why it does seems somewhat arbitrary given the subject matter (70s-core, mixed with modern urban, cabin in the woods, and Ancient Greece. What?!) If you value the type of folk-horror arthouse aesthetic that uses symbolic-heavy imagery, mythological archetypes made literal, and an obscure sense of reality, then it works. However, if you don't speak arthouse then this film will be a slog. Women fighting for their survival in a male-dominated culture will always be a theme that we continually need to be exploring, and this film has a message about being the hunter/hunted but how it transpires in your own mind, as well as finding an ancient sense of primal power within to protect yourself, or something in that space. It works I think. Ideally though, I'd love more complexity and nuance in the male character as opposed to these single-dimensional misogynistic jerks that are always so easy to hate because they're the psycho bad-guys in films that explore this subject. It's a lot harder to tell this type of story, and you have to dig much deeper and challenge yourself, when the men aren't psychopathic killers who directly hate women, but they still suffer from misogyny, while ensuring that this aspect of their character, while a defect of a larger problem, isn't projected as a way to simply get the audience to hate them, but rather it's used as an opportunity to explore 'how and why' they got that way. As a stage play this script would rock, as a film, I'm perplexed, but it is still worth at least a single viewing.
I movie really started of great in the beginning, but it got really stupid when he sees these strange people wanting to torment him for his crimes. I expected more from this movie.
A misogynist murderer invites his next victim for a weekend away in a cabin in the woods. The plan is well succeeded. But actions have consequences: the killer will face the revenge of three mythological goddesses that will take him on a mad bloody trip. One of the most artsy horror movies of 2022! It will leave you speechless even after the credits start rolling on the screen.
A Wounded Fawn shot itself in the foot in Act 2 when the mythical creature reveals itself to be an 80s piece of plastic with googly eyes.
Come for the weird Greek vibes and stay for some very grounded performances. This movie came to get weird, tell you men aren't that great, and send you back into the world an even stranger person.
A Wounded Fawn uniquely blends mythological metaphors and symbols with modern horror, offering both a compelling aesthetic and visual experience, evocative interpretations of psychological phenomena, and elements of horror that together culminate in a memorable ending.
