Wounds
Armie Hammer and Dakota Johnson star in this mystery-horror from the director of Under the Shadow, following the sinister events that occur when a stranger's phone is left behind in the bar Will (Hammer) works at.
"Will is a bartender in New Orleans. He has a great job, great friends, and a girlfriend, Carrie, who loves him. He skates across life’s surface, ignoring complications and concentrating on enjoying the moment. One night at the bar, a violent brawl breaks out, which injures one of his regular customers and causes some college kids to leave behind a cell phone in their haste. Will begins receiving disturbing texts and calls from the stranger’s phone. While Will hopes to not get involved, Carrie gets lost down a rabbit hole investigating this strange malevolence. They’ve discovered something unspeakable, and it’s crawling slowly into the light." (Sundance Film Festival)

Anvari's film is an exciting answer to jump scare supernatural teen movies, toying with filmmaking and narrative expectations while offering a whole lot of nasty, midnight-ready fun in the process.

Anvari plays to Hammer's strengths as a man who looks like he has it all until he opens his mouth.
