Wounds is a 2019 psychological horror film written and directed by Babak Anvari, in his English language debut, and starring Armie Hammer, Dakota Johnson, and Zazie Beetz.
One evening Alicia (one of his exes), her current boyfriend Jeffrey, a drunk friend called Eric, and a group of college kids are among the clientele in the bar.
The next morning, Will awakens to discover that overnight, Garrett has sent the phone a photo that shows a pile of bloody teeth.
While driving to the station, Will spots one of the college kids following him and receives messages from another member of the group, stating that he "has been chosen".
Will hallucinates the phone turning into a cockroach creature and throws it out of the car window, where it is picked up by one of the kids.
Garrett throws up a pile of teeth before claiming he and his friends summoned "something", that it possessed them and Will has now brought it into his own home: it now sees him as "the perfect vessel for more".
He discovers she has been searching for Garrett online, as well as the books she noticed in the photo and Gnostic rituals which state that a wound is a portal for higher beings to enter the world.
She is in a catatonic state that does not stop until she is bathed, which results in a strange dark liquid washing off her.
Will finally submits and starts to absorb the higher being in an attempt to become whole as cockroaches envelop the house.
