![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve had people explain this type of music is used to raise tension but previously it just got on my nerves. ![]() The score also, not something I usually enjoy, like a screechy violin, was perfect here in its use. Listen to the wind speed causing a wooden shutter to creak closed, and be on constant alert for anything supernatural. There is not a lot of dialogue in The Wind movie instead, you’re left to watch the shadows of people in the foreground. For a likeness to Hereditary, look no further than the complete immersion into isolating madness and you’ve got the tether between this film and that. The wind speed shown at various stages during the film creates the backdrop for some great synergy. Complete with an eerie goat, the setting is very similar. The Wind movie is set up as a supernatural thriller, set in the Western frontier of the late 1800s giving a platform for the comparison to The Witch. Later scenes showing her in earlier happier times overshadow just how much her character has changed. It’s in her face that you can determine how deep her anguish has been pushed. Other performances were equally as convincing, however, Gerard grips the wheel that steers the boat. This is possibly due to the amazing performance from Caitlin Gerard who plays Lizzie and ties it all together. For a story that ducks and weaves in and out of different parts of the story, I found it incredibly easy to follow which is no easy feat in itself. To start, the editing of this film is superb. For the rest, head straight out and see it, rent it, or buy it and watch it a few times. For those that want a straight-up, clear film with obvious explanations, a straightforward timeline, and easy-to-read characters, steer clear. Sometimes the penny doesn’t drop for me the moment I’ve finished watching a movie. I think watching a movie and then changing your view of it over time is a good thing. The Wind complements everything I adore in a folk lore-themed horror. If a story hits you, it hits you, simple as that. I was in the pro-Hereditary camp but wasn’t a fan of The Witch. It’s much harder to have a negative opinion of something that everyone’s arguing about. In fact, it makes it all the more appealing. The Wind will not be a crowd-pleaser, but for me, that’s fine. You can safely add it to your folk horror collection and be happy you did. Are they the same? No, but they have that vibe and a dark atmospheric classic crust that makes it super moreish. I’m here to tell you this is a must-see, especially if you loved films like Hereditary and, The Witch. Whether or not you love it, is up to you but there were definitely more great aspects to this story than bad ones. I’ve had a love-hate relationship with it already since watching it. ![]() Overall, the supernatural folk horror film was great but it’s also a movie that will frustrate and anger some people. I have a special section at the end, of The Wind and the movie’s cryptic ending is explained. Harlan's death really was just a misguided suicide.If you came here for answers about what happened at the end of The Wind, I’ve got my take on how I think the events occurred and what they meant. So, the twist in the end is that there's not a murder of any kind. In the end, Blanc reveals that Harlan's grandson Ransom actually switched the labels on Harlan's medication to engineer the morphine overdose, but Marta gave Harlan the right medication out of instinct. Harlan killed himself rather than risk Marta getting arrested for a simple mistake, but it turns out there was even more to the story. Johnson eventually reveals that Harlan did technically commit suicide, after his nurse Marta accidentally gave him what she believed to be a fatal dose of morphine. Throughout the course of the film, private investigator Benoit Blanc tries to prove that Harlan was murdered, but the truth is much more complicated. The victim is Harlan Thrombey, a noted mystery writer who's found dead of an apparent suicide at the beginning of the film. In terms of the biggest plot twist at work in Knives Out, though, we have to talk about the death at the heart of the piece. ![]()
