A supernatural thriller set in the dark Western frontier of the late 1800s, The Wind stars Caitlin Gerard (INSIDIOUS: THE LAST KEY) as a plains-woman driven mad by the harshness and isolation of the untamed land.
In the late nineteenth-century on the American frontier, Lizzy Macklin and her husband Isaac arrive from St. Louis to an unpopulated area of New Mexico, hoping to begin a settlement. They live in solitude until another couple, Emma and Gideon Harper, arrive from Illinois and move into an abandoned cabin nearby.
Lizzy is a tough, resourceful frontierswoman, and is unmoved by settling a remote stretch of land on the 19th-century American frontier. Isolated from civilization in a desolate wilderness where the wind never stops howling, she begins to sense a sinister presence that seems to be borne of the land itself, an overwhelming dread that her husband dismisses as superstition. When a newlywed couple arrive at a nearby homestead, their presence amplifies Lizzy’s fears, setting into motion a shocking chain of events. The horror unfolds as Lizzie experiences ever more strange and disturbing events that ultimately overwhelm her and those around her.
The Wind is a 2018 American supernatural western horror film directed by Emma Tammi in her feature directorial debut. It was written by Teresa Sutherland and stars Caitlin Gerard, Ashley Zukerman, Julia Goldani Telles and Miles Anderson.
Prior to its release, IFC Films commissioned a short horror game to promote the film. The game was created by independent developer Airdorf, and utilizes a style similar to that of Airdorf’s Faith.
