Wounds

Wounds (2019) is Babak Anvari's horror film, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Will tends bar in New Orleans, scraping by on cheap nights and bad habits. After a fight breaks out, he pockets a phone someone left behind. Unlocking it is the worst thing he does all year.

First come the texts and calls. Then a video he should never have opened. Roaches, rot, and gashes that surface on his skin with no cause. Will clings to his girlfriend Carrie (Dakota Johnson) and tries to tell himself he is losing his mind rather than sinking into someone else's nightmare. Armie Hammer leads, with Zazie Beetz alongside him. Anvari adapted Nathan Ballingrud's novella here right after his Iranian debut Under the Shadow, and the dread builds through infestation and decay instead of jump scares. Best suited to viewers who like their horror slow, clammy and crawling under the skin. Stream Wounds (2019) online on iFILM.
