Plot: This slick, fast-paced but vacuous production has a plot that horror buffs will find all too familiar: it serves up a group of idiotic young people as standard zombie-fodder -- including the nominal protagonist (Eric Larson) who is paying a visit to a remote mountain cabin to investigate the mysterious disappearance of his grandparents. Since this cabin was apparently built in Evil Dead country, the poor saps are beset by the title breeze -- the horrific result of some mystical mumbo-jumbo concocted by Grandpa -- which proceeds to possess the living and bring the dead back to life in a whirlwind of unconvincing make-up effects. This derivative film borrows elements from dozens of horror hits but does nothing interesting with any of them -- though the filmmakers deserve some credit for attempting some ambitious and surreal dream sequences, considering the limited budget. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

Fun Flick But Good?
Added 1/19/2006

Demon Wind is a really entertaining fun, bad, Evil Dead type flick, but I wouldn't stretch the truth to say its "good".
Its damn funny. If you like B horror with kitch, overdone fx, bad acting, and hot chicks you'll love it , but its not a horror masterpiece. I liked it enough to have bought a replacement copy
but I like horror with kitch, overdone fx, bad acting, and hot chicks ;)

Added 10/27/2005

When i was 9 yrs old my grandfather had this recorded tape under his bed. When i found it i watched it. It ended up being Demon Wind. Then as i got older i realized that i loved that movie so much because everytime i watched a scary movie i thought about it. So i went to every movie store and none of them had it.. NONE!!! So i finally decided to come online and i found it. Im so glad i did. This movie was my all time favorite. I just loved watching it. I just cant wait til i actually get to have the movie in my hands so i can watch it again!!

Could Have Been Better
Added 1/14/2003

This film to me was one of those "Almost" films. Almost, but no cigar. Not much thought in the storyline, and the acting was somewhat weak. To myself, it was like an Evil Dead, Night of the Living Dead, and a touch of Friday the 13th, ripoff. Friday the 13th, meaning at the begining of this film, with the old man, Harcourt, telling them not to go there, to stay away if they know what's good for them, etc. But then again, there are quite a few movies that do that. The movie starts with this couple in a farmhouse in the year 1931. She's praying and whatnot, while candles burn in the house, as well as in the center of a pentagram, while demons are screaming,"you can't keep us out". It seems that this farmhouse is some gateway to hell, and grandma has some spell that keeps them at bay. Until this night. They seemed to have possessed her husband, and all hell breaks loose. Then we skip to present day.So, here we have a young man, his girlfriend, and a couple of car-loads of their friends, in the middle of nowhere, in search of a rural farmhouse, where the lead man, Cory's grandparents had suffered a horrible fate, almost 60 yrs. ago.It seems Cory is determined to find out what or whom killed them.(pretty stupid reason wanting to find out after all these years, but hey, it's a movie) When they find the farmhouse, a couple of the girls, mainly Molly, feels some bad vibes there.Cory, determined to find out what happened to the grandparents, does not really care about the bad vibes, and decides to investigate inside the house.There, what was left of it, is everything in place the same night his grandparents were murdered. (even the beautifully cooked turkey, that still looks like it just came out of the oven, I'd like to know where you can buy a turkey like that, that stays that good sitting around for 60 yrs.) Practically all the stuff in there looked brand new. It must have been some great weather conditions to keep all that stuff looking like that. Could'nt the makers of this movie at least thrown some dirt on stuff to look like it's been sitting around for years? Anyway, strange things start happening. These 3 little girl ghosts, demons, or whatever they are, appear and takes one of the girls.So, they deceide it's time to leave, but the cars will not start. They decide to walk, but then a mysterious fog keeps coming while they are walking, and takes them right back to the farmhouse.Seems there is no escape, and they systematically start getting bumped off. After being killed, they come back as "DEMONS", and go after the living that remain, at the farmhouse. (Kind of sounds like Evil Dead to me). This movie, I think, could have been alot better, if there was more gore, and made a little more sense.The acting was typical b-rated I guess. About as corny as you're gonna get. There's some decent one-liners, some slimy, gorey effects, but just not enough. The make-up was pretty impressive though. That I did like.All in all though, the movie was not that great. Nothing new presented here. Like I said earlier, you can definetly see that they relied heavily on copying Evil Dead. Personally, I would skip this one, and go buy Evil Dead if you haven't seen it yet.The only reason I gave this 3 stars was for the great make-up, and special effects. Otherwise, i can't say I enjoyed it. I bought it after reading the reviews on here about it.It sounded pretty good, but I was pretty dissatisfied overall.
