Lizzy 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 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. (IFC Midnight)

Női (melo)dráma egy maréknyi régimódi, decens horrorelemmel. De hiba lenne horroros élményt várni; A szél inkább egy tragikus esemény fokozatos feltárásáról és annak a főszereplőre gyakorolt pszichológiai hatásáról szól. Szép filmes munka: szélesvásznú kietlen préri, a szél állandó hangja, Caitlin Gerard tisztességes színészi alakítása. De négyet nem adok rá, igazából nem szeretem ezeket a flashback rejtvényeket, inkább az előrehaladást szeretem. [Sitges FF]

For a debut, the direction is solid, it looks nice, the acting is convincing, but the pace is very slow to uninteresting and the horror elements are sparse. Rather, the film is a psychological depressing feminist drama about an isolated woman haunted by demons. I liked the music and at least something started to happen in the finale, but I was rather bored. 50%

The film shows minimalist beginnings of the settlement of the Wild West from the point of view of a woman who is haunted by a demon from the prairie during her husband's absence. This psychologically constructed horror is aided by its non-linear storytelling, which jumps surprisingly clearly between several timelines, in which the tragedies of two friendly married couples are gradually systematically revealed. The above-average actors and above-average director successfully try to build tension and mystery without falling into routine or showing too much. The film is more of a psychological drama than a horror film, but cleverly and capably implemented. The funny thing is that the film revolving around female heroines, which was also directed and written by women, is basically about how the heroines are not ok mentally.

A psychological horror which skilfully uncovers the heroine’s thoughts using various time planes. During the entire 85 minutes, the viewer is watching the main character whose mind is key to grasping the story. The director attempts to connect its audience to the tough fate and emotional strain experienced by lonely women in the days of the American Wild West settlement. Unfortunately, The Wind’s plotline doesn’t innovate much and I’m afraid it will quickly fade out of my head. [Sitges 2018]
