Directed by Nico Mastorakis
USA 1986
What would you do if going outside meant being killed by a raging hurricane, but
staying indoors meant being hacked to pieces by a sickle wielding maniac? Arrow
Video proudly presents The Wind, from prolific genre filmmaker Nico
Mastorakis, the director behind such cult classics as Hired to Kill and
Island of Death. *** Mystery writer Sian Anderson leaves her boyfriend John for three weeks of intense writing in the isolated Greek town of Monemvassia. Upon her arrival in the ancient, deserted, walled-in fortress, she is met by Elias Appleby, the round eccentric landlord who guides her through mysterious underground passageways to the house where she will work. He warns her to stay inside at night because of the killer winds that arrive after dark. |
