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.

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.

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.

The films logic is broken but I think it adds to the throwback camp the film was going for. Not necessarily good but the kills and gore is top-notch

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.

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.

... a new slasher killer that could easily get a few more movies in him if they develop him and his mythology correctly.

The scenery was beautiful and the acting overall was pretty good, but I did feel that the film was a bit slow at times.

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

The final shots of The Windmill feel like Jongerius surrendering his movie to how he thinks others would want it to end.
