The Wind (2001)

http://imdb.com/title/tt0329768/

Horribly cheesy cover aside, this movie's got a lot of rave reviews on the 'net from people who could say it was excellently done, but never really say what it's about. A group of college kids are stirred to murderous rage because of an ancient wind. That's about it. Still, words like "lyrical" are used to describe it, so I'm sure it's worth a look.

An ancient wind carries with it omens of the apocalypse, stirring the pride and envy of a group of college kids to murderous rage. Michael Mongillo's directorial debut is a lyrical, meditative film charged with sex and violence.

And it was not worth.
Badfly shot, badly acted, I deleted it the moment it was over.

beautifully said. :wink: as a young horror director in the us, its good to have some friends and marketing/distribution geeks backing up for u at imdb.com :twisted:

so what it is about in summary ?
Quote:
I took a chance, and was pleasantly surprised by this strange, very different drama. I'm assuming the DVD marketing and summary were the work of MTI Home Video to hook a rental or sale (the tagline "Love comes in many forms" was changed to "Terror comes in many forms"). Sure, smaller films' rentals and sales depend strongly on grabbing a person's attention, especially if they've never heard of the film before (a similar case happened with the film THE ITEM). That's probably what is working against this release, as horror fans read the description of an "ancient wind" carrying with it "omens of the apocalypse." It's easy to think that that is what this film is all about, and will turn some college students in the story into crazy savages that go on a killing spree. Thus, at the time this review was submitted, is most likely the reason for the lower rating on IMDb.

The "wind" in this film is basically just a metaphor for society

Quote:
it's interesting to see that there is an absence of cussing and nudity.

Quote:
What works in favor of The Wind are the "unknown" actors. Bigger stars were originally intended, but I find it works better when you have lesser known, capable actors.

Quote:
if you look carefully you'll see many symbols and dialogue that other directors would just pound you over the head with. I even understood the infamous "kissing scene" between Claire, John, and Billy within the context of the story without being surprised it happened. All is handled nicely here, and additional viewings will make things more clear without making you groan and say "oh man, how did I miss THAT...."

Years later, it's always the great little discoveries like The Wind that stay in my mind, not processed star-driven blockbusters
