An original Horror/Western about loneliness on the prairie. Is a woman being tormented by demons, or is her isolation creating delusions? It is late 1800 and Lizzy is living with her husband Isaac on the American New Western Frontier: isolated from civilisation and hemmed in by panoramic landscape. His work often takes Isaac away for days, while Lizzy stays home alone. When she tells him about a demonic presence on the prairie, he rejects this as rubbish. When a newly married couple move into a nearbydilapidated house, Lizzy soon finds a supporter in unhappy Emma. Are there dark powers at work, or is the isolation creating delusions? The Windis a refreshing twist on the Western genre. It’s about the women who stay home instead of the men who head out. This is combined with folklore horror, in which suggestion is more important than reality. A non-linear narrative structure, oppressive images of the endless landscape and dissonant music makeThe Winda mood-filled film that unsettles, without revealing too much.
