Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Director Nick Jongerius can't entirely keep the story from feeling warmed-over, but fans should be too pleased by the movie's professionalism to complain much. Oct 29, 2016 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Come for the supernatural tale of a bunch of sinners getting their punishment, stay for insane practical effects that will surprise even the most jaded of horror fans. Rated: 4/5 May 12, 2023 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed ... a new slasher killer that could easily get a few more movies in him if they develop him and his mythology correctly. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 19, 2020 Full Review Michelle Swope HorrorNews.net The scenery was beautiful and the acting overall was pretty good, but I did feel that the film was a bit slow at times. Rated: 3/5 Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Joey Keogh Wicked Horror It's great to see a real, old-school flick of this nature, lovingly made and presented, with a real understanding of how these movies operate and why they were so popular in the first place. Rated: 8/10 Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Nathanael Hood The Young Folks The final shots of The Windmill feel like Jongerius surrendering his movie to how he thinks others would want it to end. Rated: 5/10 Nov 11, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

sean s I actually liked this movie. It had a decent story line, back story, etc. The gore was kind of nastily done. It is worth a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Look, if there's going to be a Dutch slasher, it's going to have a windmill in it. Those are the rules*. Also, the windmill has to be haunted and Amicus-style lure people to it, upon which it will send out a scythe-carrying demon that makes people face their fears and then die. There's also a bus fill of these people whose sins need to be punished and they walk right into a cabin filled with symbols of their past misdeeds. And there's no escaping the demonic miller. There's a cool trick of showing the past of what each victim before they're killed with some decent practical effects. One by one, they all pay, and then one assumes the next bus comes in. I also learned that bone meal can close up a cut and that director Nick Jongerius grew up next to a frightening windmill, which explains so much. *I'm lying. Amsterdamned doesn't have any windmills in it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Andy J Reasonable movie with the odd twist. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/27/21 Full Review Audience Member Since I´m currently in a Horror Movie Phase again I watch literally EVERY Horror Movie recommended to me by YouTube. As I saw the title I really thought that´d be a funny great movie. But the further it got the more predictable it became. I mean after that awkward "There´s always a free Seat for another sinner" Scene I knew the Bus Driver MUST´VE something to do with the upcoming Kills. All in all I gotta say it was super predictable, had no real action featured and is boring as hell. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely trash that came straight from hell Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a bad slasher flick, although the lead actress did not really suit the setting, i though at least.
