Cold Blows the Wind

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.

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.

That is the budget of this movie, and I think it went to a bottle of Taaka. I've seen elementary school productions that are better than this. Kudos for the attempt but also not everything you think of should be let out into the world. I'd like my money back. The time...will never be regained. But I guess that's life: The only things you can actually get back are money and STDs. But only one of those has a lasting effect. Anyway, or enjoyed exactly zero things about this movie. I watched it alone and still felt embarrassed by what the people around me were thinking. Videos of my colonoscopies are more entertaining.

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 offers an engaging genre experience with an intriguing setup. It begins with a couple dealing with the aftermath of an off-screen accident, deciding to kill and bury the body in their backyard to cover it up. The tension rises as their relationship is tested, especially with the arrival of a strange woman who manipulates the wife through psychological tactics and threats.

This initial buildup introduces an engaging mystery and sets the stage for the unfolding drama. The second half capitalizes on this setup, featuring incidents with the strange woman and a secondary stranger who warns the couple about the dead buried in their backyard. The escalating tension, desperate actions, and the reassembled figure transferring a demonic entity all contribute to the chaos. The portrayal of demonic possession and the resulting madness bring solid action and impressive gore, making the film engaging overall. Despite a few minor flaws, such as a somewhat rushed setup and unclear backstories, the film offers plenty to enjoy for fans of the genre.
