We believe Caitlin Gerard’s character is right when she says, “I don’t suspect God has much business out here.”
From the trailer, the bone-chilling tone of dread and fear is evident, and you can feel it. This prairie is desolate, the wind doesn’t stop blowing, and there are strange things happening.
Not only is the film directed by a female filmmaker, but “The Wind” was written by Teresa Sutherland, and stars two powerful women, Gerard and Julia Goldani Telles.
Seeing the names of four women at the forefront of this film shouldn’t feel as surprising as it does. The horror genre has traditionally been the only genre to see women characters speak as much as male characters. However, in the past, the genre has taken pleasure in victimizing women; usually making them the victims of crazed serial killers and monsters, or seeing them being the ones to die first because of sexual behavior.
Now, though, we are seeing the horror genre change as more women are becoming the protagonists and survivors. This on top of a female director and a female writer, in the age of asking for more representation of people of color and women in Hollywood, “The Wind” answers.
“The Wind” will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
Here’s the official synopsis:
When a woman moves to the American frontier to settle it with her husband, an evil presence soon makes itself known and infects her with paranoia, in Emma Tammi’s sinister western horror.
