Wound is in London's FRIGHTFEST!
Wound featured in London Timeout
WOUND is the new feature film, written and directed by David Blyth, New Zealand’s controversial cult / horror film maker. www.davidblyth.com
Filming was completed on 31st January 2010 and is currently in Post Production.
WOUND is a Supernatural Horror Film that explores the dark worlds of mental illness, incest, revenge and death. We follow Tanya as she searches for the mother she has never met – a mother (Susan) who gave her up for dead after being abused by her own father who remains stuck in her present life.
Tanya returns from the dead to confront and possess Susan with all her deepest fears and desires, sending Susan into a state of madness and gore filled retribution.
WOUND explores and confronts the dark, distorted supernatural world that lurks within us all.
A young woman, alone, attempts to fight the demons that begin to haunt her days and nights – in a series of brutal confrontations with the enemies of the past who want to possess and kill her.
But, they are all members of her own family ... of her own self.
A dark, disturbing look into a haunted woman’s mind.
This is one terrible dream you will never wake up from.

More about Wound
Here are some of the characteristics of gothic fiction that parallel Wound elements: Madness, (especially feminine madness) family curses,
a female in distress, a controlling, dominant male who compels the aforementioned disempowered female to do something against her will,
an isolated manor house, an emphasis on a gloomy or foreboding atmosphere, ghosts or other supernatural creatures, doubles, secrets, graveyards
or crypts, omens or visions, dreams or nightmares that are the wild current below the civilized, rational, or tamed, mind; characters who exhibit
aberrant psychologies, or physiologies; rituals, caves, caverns or hidden subterranean spaces, decay and death, mystery and the nocturnal and references
to the medieval.
The Producers acknowledge the sources of the following:
Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices that, If I then had waked after long sleep, Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming, The clouds methought would open and show riches Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked, I cried to dream again - William Shakespeare - Caliban, The Tempest "I love you, I love you knot. With each tie I make you mine By the second, we're bound in pleasure With the third, I join my life, my treasure Through the fourth, all wounds burned closed In the fifth, all pain disposed With each string my heart creates Death itself cannot forsake The One who fate has knit for me... And as I seal the ties that bind, I stitch my love to knot Nine with a kiss for my sweet Angel Mine." `Stitch of Nine' by E. Takcas "Her daughter you caught a glimpse of her daughter when she opened the door half opened the door and you knew then and there that her story would continue through her daughter." Poem written and performed by Richard von Sturmer
