Critics' reviews

"It’s a hugely promising debut in terms of Tammi’s steady, assured directorial craft. It’s only the story’s pacing that frustrates"

Jessica Kiang: Variety
"[It] blows a serious chill through you (...) [It] does indeed blow a hell of a chill through you, though that has less to do with thing that bump in the night than in the psyche."

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"An admirable if somewhat, er, overblown feature debut (...) 'The Wind' doesn’t quite sustain the tension through the final reel"

Jordan Mintzer: The Hollywood Reporter
"A technically sound picture that lacks profundity. 'The Wind' still checks enough of the right boxes to please horror fans; it’s creepy"

Victor Stiff: The Playlist
"Emma Tammi's feature film debut showcases the potential of the horror-western as a new mode of independent filmmaking (...) 'The Wind' [is] an inspired mashup of everything that makes both genres special."

Matthew Monagle: Film School Rejects
"Gerard really nails every single beat of Lizzy’s journey (...) 'The Wind' misses the mark when it comes to 'saying something' with its narrative."

Perri Nemiroff: Collider
"The good elements in 'The Wind' only serve to remind you of the potential for this story, but the final product is just a lesser version of much better films (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"

Rafael Motamayor: Bloody Disgusting
"'The Wind' is that rare horror western subgenre, but it understands and uses the elements of both to create an atmosphere that both haunts and terrifies."

Shelagh Rowan-Legg: Screen Anarchy
