1.0 out of 5 stars
How can a movie be sooo bad on so many levels?, November 2, 2005
This review is from: The Wind (DVD)
Ok, so the movie starts out with an interesting introduction which has absoloutley nothing to do with the rest of the movie. In short, the writing is uninspired and painfully dull; the acting looks like something you'd see coming from a high school drama class; the camera work manages to take the cliche b-movie camera work made popular in such films as "Army of Darkness," where an makes it nauseating, boring, inimaginative and genuinely bad; the characters have even less depth then you're average Saturday morning cartoons, and the story is so painfully terrible that simply watching it is a draining and genuinely unpleasant experience. Regardless of how short the movie may be, it seems to drag on forever. Do not buy this movie, honestly you shouldn't even waste the two bucks that it would take to rent this terrible movie. It is not worth the film that it is printed on. If you are unfortunate enough to see this movie, I am truly sorry, you have just wasted an hour an a half of your life and are now stupider for having watched this movie. I bid you all good day.
Cordially yours,
an honest reviewer

2.0 out of 5 stars
maybe 2 and ahalf stars, May 20, 2004
This review is from: The Wind (DVD)
I saw this film awhile ago but remember it pretty clearly. I would have to categorize it as a "nice try". It definitely has a visual style and a kind of ominous undertone but the weakness of the script hurts it immeasurably. The characters are one dimensional and hollow and their actions have no basis in reality. It seems to be merely an excercise in style. If something like this is what you're after, check out Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave. and PS, what's with the ballot stuffing? These reviews all sound like they came right out of a press release.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Worthy of NO stars, December 22, 2005
This review is from: The Wind (DVD)
Words that describe this movie: amateurish, boring, dull, ridiculous, pointless, poor dialogue, etc. Eventually I wondered why I was wasting so much time watching, so I started fast forwarding though it. Then even THAT was sucking up too much of my life, so I stopped watching. Don't waste your time or money on this one. High school drama students could have done a better job. And it's obvious that those earlier reviews, which all praised the movie and were spaced within a few days of each other, were planted. A movie worth watching does not need people posting false reviews to get others to watch or buy or rent it. A movie worth watching will stand on its own, which this movie does not.
