Cold Blows the Wind

Cold Blows The Wind is about a couple, Tasha (played by Victoria Vertuga) and Dean (played by Danell Leyva), who hit a jogger with their car and decide to bury the man in the woods. Unfortunately for the couple, this leads them to make decisions that make things a lot worse.

Back at the house, after they take care of their "problem," strange characters start to show up, beginning with a distressed woman who claims she's being stalked by an abusive man. They hesitantly let her in, and this is where things get really fun. Briar, played by Jamie Bernadette, is super creepy and has really good chemistry with Tasha. Torry Lawrence, who plays Uncle Stevie, is just as creepy as Briar and the tension in his first scene was very well done as the suspense builds between the three. Just when you think you have this film figured out, the filmmakers throw in a twist that I appreciated.

Some of the practical effects like the one in the bathtub are really well done. What is also cool is they don't cut away, they stay on the carnage which is great for horror fans.

Cold Blows The Wind is a fun watch, and I'm impressed with what the filmmakers did with a limited budget. The production value is good, worth the watch,

This film does start of strong with a compelling thriller premise: a married couple hits a jogger while driving drunk and decides to bury the body in a remote location. The suspense quickly builds as their seemingly straightforward cover-up spirals into a nightmare. The isolated setting and eerie cinematography effectively create a sense of dread, keeping you on edge.

However, the film falters in its pacing and character development. While the lead actors deliver solid performances, some of the supporting characters feel underdeveloped and one-dimensional. Additionally, the script occasionally leans too heavily on clichés, making certain plot twists predictable. Despite these flaws, the movie's gripping tension and atmospheric visuals make it a worthwhile watch for thriller enthusiasts, offering moments of genuine suspense and psychological intrigue.

Cold Blows the Wind is a gripping thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The film begins with a chilling premise: a married couple hits a jogger while driving drunk and, thinking they can hide their mistake, head to a remote location to bury the body. However, their nightmare intensifies as they realize the horror has just begun. The tension is palpable, and the well-developed characters, along with stunning cinematography, heighten the sense of dread.

The acting is top-notch, with the leads delivering powerful performances that convey their desperation and horror. The script balances intense action with reflective scenes, adding depth to the characters. "Cold Blows the Wind" is not just a thriller; it's a psychological exploration of guilt, fear, and the lengths people go to cover up their mistakes. It's a must-watch for genre fans, offering a chilling, thought-provoking experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

I recently watched what was supposed to be a suspenseful horror film, but it turned out to be a colossal disappointment. Acting is poor, the plot was predictable, the characters flat, and the scares fell completely flat. It's hard to believe that the glowing reviews are genuine; they feel more like a publicity stunt than honest feedback. It seems likely that most of the positive comments come from the friends of the producers, eager to support a project that frankly deserves none of the praise. The film failed to deliver on any level, leaving me frustrated rather than scared. Save your time and skip this one; it's a prime example of style over substance.

The acting is terrible. The script is beyond mediocre. The two main characters who are married, are far from convincing, and have zero chemistry. The one liner attempts at humor don't work. The lead female character makes a sandwich of lettuce and one slice of cheese, and does not put anything else on it. No mayo, mustard, nothing. No wonder she says "I am hungry" to her husband at the 55:11 minute mark. Sorry, that's a spoiler I suppose. Oh, and the husband uses a shovel on their victim, yet no Blood on said shovel when he is finished?

There is a scene where the husband cooks a frozen pizza in about 4.2 seconds. And the oven had not even been preheated. Impressive.

The pace of this movie is draining, cheesy fight scenes, and the ending was just a solid excuse for you to cheer, for this 90 minute misfire of a film was over.

At the end of the day, I cannot in good faith recommend this film. I would rather watch a documentary on staplers.
