The Wind
One Week Only!
An unseen evil haunts the homestead in this chilling, folkloric tale of madness, paranoia, and otherworldly terror. Lizzy (Caitlin Gerard) is a tough, resourceful frontierswoman settling a remote stretch of land on the 19th-century American frontier. Isolated from civilization in a desolate wilderness where the wind never stops howling, she begins to sense a sinister presence that seems to be borne of the land itself, an overwhelming dread that her husband (Ashley Zukerman) dismisses as superstition. When a newlywed couple arrives on a nearby homestead, their presence amplifies Lizzy’s fears, setting into motion a shocking chain of events. Masterfully blending haunting visuals with pulse-pounding sound design, director Emma Tammi evokes a godforsaken world in which the forces of nature come alive with quivering menace.
USA, 2018, 86 minutes, Rated R, Directed by Emma Tammi
-
"A hugely promising debut in terms of Tammi's steady, assured directorial craft."
- Jessica Kiang, Variety -
“It's refreshing to see such an original stab at this type of indie genre-bender, especially one told from a strictly female point of view.”
- Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter -
"Tammi demonstrates a real knack for visual storytelling and mood; balancing tone and pace while pulling off some very creepy moments."
- Katie Walsh, Nerdist -
“This movie blends genres by using the landscape of the Western pioneer and the horror of monsters that may still be roaming the untamed lands.”
– Sarah Gopaul, DIGITAL JOURNAL -
“THE WIND is a confident, thoughtful, yet creeping and powerful film, with well-earned jump scares and demons both real and possibly imaginary, enough to make you afraid of the dark and the emptiness of even the most beautiful places.”
– Shelagh Rowan-Legg, SCREEN ANARCHY -
“Like ‘The Babadook,’ this is more than a frightening tale of things that go bump in the night."
– Kristy Puchko, RIOT MATERIAL -
“An absorbing little nightmare."
– Hope Madden, COLUMBUS UNDERGROUND
