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.

An intriguing enough story that wasn’t told very well. I’d say it was ultimately satisfying, though it could have been much better with a little more vision behind it

Could’ve been better in many respects but the psychological ramifications are bold and daring

The out of chronological order editing seems like an attempt to mask the undercooked plot.

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.

THE WIND IS A SHOW ABOUT PIONEER DAYS AND WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO DISCOVER NEW LAND FOR SETTLING. IT IS A MUST WATCH. NATURE CAN VERY WELL BE SO AGAINST US THAT WE THINK THAT IT MUST BE A DEMON 😈

A true horror classic

If you're going for the contemplative slow burn, you have to commit to it, not just pay lip service to it. The Wind has a strong build up, but never really pays off. Observations that would have been better left to the audience are spelled out in painfully obvious terms, and the same goes for the (very limited) scares, which the director somehow felt needed to be explained the moment they took place. Aside from that, the acting is top notch and the sound design was especially impressive.

There's nothing irredeemable about this movie, but it just doesn't bring much to the table. The story line is cliché and predictable and the cast doesn't do much to help. It does have a decent concept and the sets are pretty solid, but the out-of-order storytelling is just confusing and doesn't add anything to the film. In fact, there were several scenes that I felt would have been a lot more impactful if they were actually told in chronological order. None of the performances by the cast were bad, but this movie is a western and it's set in the late 1800s, and yet all the acting feels very "modern". Down to the mannerisms and accents, the cast just feels like a bunch of contemporary people hanging about. The dialogue isn't really to blame here, but it doesn't help either. A fine idea with simply poor execution, you can skip The Wind. Watch The Witch instead.

Rating: 6/10. 63/100

A great movie for critics with rocks in their heads. For everyone else it is a slog with the "highlights" being occasional hackneyed jump scares and occasional creepy visuals. Mostly overacted, and you either get yelling and arguing and other histrionics, or long dull lagging segments. The story is weak and as it goes on all you can think is when will it be over?

Terrifyingly perfect movie. What a weird place/way to live. Totally believable plot, which makes it even more scary. My imagination ran wild the whole time. I don't know why I matched so well with this, but it was fantastic. The only thing I didn't like is it has nothing to do with the wind!

Any movie that starts with a dead baby has no place good to go.

Pretty slow burning with an awful payoff. Go watch The Lighthouse or The With to get why this movie is just plain bad.

The worst movie I've ever seen. Incredibly boring and slow.

A really fantastic slow-burn horror. The film successfully keeps you guessing, and offers entertaining surprises.

A fun little psychological horror movie. I can't really say much without spoiling it. It's got some action-effects shots, but it's really not a creature film. The closest thing to it I can think of is "The Lighthouse" (Spoiler) I'm still not absolutely sure if the creature was real. I'm pretty sure it wasn't, they imply she did all that on her own, but, maybe the creature drove her to it, I could see it going either way.

We get it critics, you like boring, pretentious movies where nothing happens. Here's another one for ya. The lead is the only half decent actor in it, theres no good cinematography or atmosphere at all. And no scares or even a faint sense of dread to be mustered. For something called The Wind you expect it to have a much bigger and ominous presence in the film. Instead we get generic inky monster and ghosts that are all just in her head. Super original story that hasnt been done a dozen times already (sarcasm).
