Dark Winds (2022)

Review by markgawry

Dark Winds

3/10

Good Acting

Unfortunately the acting couldn't carry this stinker. I don't know where to start. There's a lot.

The production quality was less than mediocre. Poor quality digital effects such as numerous cheesy nighttime outdoor skies in scenes obviously done on a set. Tons of instances of things not being period correct. There were dialogue issues; like when the car salesman bragged about the 7.2 liter engine in an Olds 442; or the home decor (interior paint colors for instance) that was more 21st century than early '70's.

The expectations regarding suspension of disbelief were a bit much as well. The story would have been better and a lot more plausible without the cliche native American paranormal hooey.

I also found it funny that people working hard outdoors in the desert had spotlessly clean clothes. No dirt and dust. No enormous sweat and/or salt stains. The cars were also much too clean for having just been driven on dirt roads in the desert.

The basic plot and story arc without the paranormal crap had potential. It's too bad about the sub-par writing and the lack of production quality.
