There's little to say about The Wind because there's just so little to the film itself. It's nothing more than a bland, barely competent slasher that doesn't do anything go above and beyond its bare skeleton of a script and plot, building up no momentum or tension and moving at a snail's pace from start to finish.
Sure, the actors are decent enough and some of the cinematography deserves credit... but these things are wasted on an entirely forgettable script, horrible pacing, extremely uncreative death scenes (which are few and far between), and an uneven soundtrack, all of which come together to form an unentertaining movie that could be a third of its length and still feel drawn out. Honestly, this may be the most stretched-out, plodding piece of cinema that I've ever seen, and it isn't helped by the abrupt ending that just leaves the viewer feeling entirely unsatisfied.
If I had to sum up The Wind in a word, that word would simply be 'boring', and that's the last thing a film like this should want to be. Ah well. They can't all be hits.
