Cold Blows the Wind

Cold Blows the Wind kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. When a married couple hits a jogger while driving drunk, they believe their night can't get any worse. But after heading to a remote location to bury the body, they quickly realize their nightmare has only just begun.

The tension is palpable as the couple's plan to cover up their crime spirals out of control. Each twist and turn adds to the suspense, making you feel their escalating panic and desperation. The film's eerie setting and masterful cinematography heighten the sense of dread, making every moment more gripping than the last. As their situation becomes increasingly dire, Cold Blows the Wind delivers a relentless and suspenseful experience that keeps you hooked.

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,

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.

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.

What sets this film apart is its ability to blend psychological intrigue with intense suspense, making it a standout in the thriller genre. While the plot contains a few familiar twists, the film's originality shines through in its execution and atmospheric depth. The character development, though occasionally lacking in backstory, is strong enough to maintain interest and empathy. This film is a visual and emotional rollercoaster, offering a fresh take on suspense and horror. Perfect for a weekend watch and a must-see for fans of the genre, delivering an unforgettable cinematic experience that will stay with you long after the film ends.
