This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

In 1931, two grandparents fight to survive a demon-infested farmhouse. One grandparent gets possessed who frequently vomits and the other drops a snow globe which blows up the entire farmhouse. Cut to the "Present day," where Cory is plagued by awkward dreams and demands answers about the death of his grandparents. Cory and his obnoxious friends set out to the farmhouse to find answers.The landscape cinematography is nice. The gross special makeup effects are effective. One of the most confusing and idiotic "Evil Dead" wannabes ever seen, in addition "Demon Wind" is filled with nonstop cheesiness and one-liners. For instance, one of Cory's friends stabs a demon in the eye. The demon reverts back to human form, then becomes a teenage, then a baby, and finally a dove. What!? Moments like this are throughout the movie. This "so-bad-it's-good" movie is quite indescribable.

so last night I watched DEMON WIND (1990)Strengths: Story telling failure.. The story is sooo Bad, all movie logic is out the window.. If you need some more characters to kill off just have them drive up and arrive mid-movie with no explanation and the director also borrows heavily from The Evil Dead + The dialog and acting is wooden. The make up and special effects are actually really good though.. makes for a highly watchable & entertaining bad movie experienceWeaknesses: I would have liked to have seen more gore and violence.. It is a little too tame for my tastes. Full Disclosure: the movie is in color but I watched in Black and White and I loved it.. because that's the way i like it

Wow. I just saw Demon Wind a little while ago, and I don't think I'll ever be the same. It has the power to inspire nightmares, but for all the wrong reasons, actually.Never before has humanity seen such a gratuitous change in make-up, for no damn reason. Or, similarly, so much bad zombie (?) makeup that makes you hungry for those Halloween green marshmallows.Or so much naked old lady, for that matter. But then, there was "The Shining."The plot here is so amateurish that it actually almost holds a little bit of charm, as does the dialog. The last shot of the film is just so silly that its beyond description. It's like some drunk college student got together with some pals and decided to throw Bruce Willis type dialog together with (I guess?) teenybopper dialog from some Elm Street film. The result is jarring, and it'd be truly funny if it was intended that way.Ah, what the hey. I'll laugh anyway.Hell, get together with your friends and watch this. But make absolutely sure you're drunk first. Or, you may go insane. Particularly if you're a college film student.Cheers.

Question: When is The Evil Dead not The Evil Dead? Answer: When it's Demon Wind. I can only assume neither Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert or Bruce Campbell has seen this movie because, if they had, they would have sued the producers. Let's look at the evidence. The Evil Dead has a group of teenagers driving to an isolated cabin. So does Demon Wind. Evil Dead's storyline involves demons being resurrected. So does Demon Wind. Evil Dead features a character discovering a book with spells in it that resurrected said demons. Demon Wind.., well, you get the idea. There's even a sequence where two characters attempt to get away, only to find their path to freedom blocked by mysterious forces. To compound the Evil Dead plagiarism, this scene then features a female character who appears normal when glimpsed from behind, but when she turns around, she's been possessed by the demons. The only difference in Demon Wind is that the climatic demon assault on the cabin is derivative of Evil Dead's most obvious inspiration, Night of the Living Dead than it is of Sam Raimi's classic.The major difference is that while Evil Dead is a classic, Demon Wind is a distinctly average horror yarn, with a hero who's barely Hal Delrich, never mind Bruce Campbell. The bit with the demonic cattle skull that eats the girl's head is mildly amusing, though
