Billy R "The Wind" is a so-called "slow burn" horror that never quite delivers what it's building up to. It's full of jumps from past to present that are initially communicated cleverly, but start to become disjointed. By the end, its already underwhelming ending is muddled by utter confusion. While it certainly proves that Emma Tammi can deliver frightening moments (something I was admittedly questioning with "Five Nights At Freddy's"), they are ultimately too short-lived and tame to make up for the long wait between each one. It builds itself up like a pseudo-Jaws, refraining from any glimpse of the monster, but unlike Jaws, [LIGHT SPOILERS] there is no grand and terrifying finale. Things just... Resolve. Or at least, I think they did. The movie doesn't communicate that well either. All in all, I'd say it's an exactly half-good experience. It's high-concept and has its moments, but "The Wind" creates an unshakable feeling that, even with its long runtime, something is missing. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Damian M The real horror is having to live in the western plains of America, the psychological terror is well done, but the back and forth between present and past have me mixed. The cryptid could've used a little more background and it would've been great.

I’d say it was ultimately satisfying, though it could have been much better with a little more vision behind it Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Audience Member Could’ve been better in many respects but the psychological ramifications are bold and daring Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Alec B The out of chronological order editing seems like an attempt to mask the undercooked plot. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Andrew B I loved this movie. It's got suspense, mystery, tension, atmosphere, fine performances, and a sense of dread that sustains itself until the credits roll. I hate the people that gave it a low rating. I'm so tired of audiences trashing movies like this because they're too stupid and biased to understand them. All of you know you are. Just shut up and watch some else if a movie doesn't adhere to your ridiculous standards. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
