Demon Wind is a low budget creepfest from the very early 1990s which is surprisingly well made, for the most part.
It deals with a guy named Corey who is seeking out his mysterious ancestral past. Corey's father and several other members of his family met with horrible fates in an old farmhouse where they lived. Guided by visions and a burning curiosity, Corey decides to go to the abandoned farm along with a pack of friends to investigate. Upon arrival, an old man, who says that he was a witness to very gruesome happenings at the old farmhouse, tells them that the place is cursed and that the Devil himself is said to possess the land. The old man advises turning back and forgetting the whole thing, but Corey insists that his fate lies within the old house.
Of course, things get bad from there onward. Without spoiling too much, they encounter demon hordes, magic spells, phantom fog, and a lot of them die very horrible deaths. The film's atmosphere is very dark and chilling, especially the first half. The make-up and gore effects are really great and bring to mind movies like Night of the Demons and The Evil Dead. The film is not without its flaws, though. The special camera effects are really cheap and schlocky. The script is pretty stupid at times, more so in the second half. And there are plot holes aplenty.
I had a great time with it, though. Taken at face value, this cheap flick is pretty entertaining. If you are a fan of stuff like the Evil Dead movies or Hellraiser, I would recommend you check it out.
