Supernatural Thriller ‘The Wind’ Blows Into Theaters This April

Emma Tammi makes her debut with the haunting supernatural thriller The Wind, which held its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before heading to Fantastic Fest, Sitges, and others. The film explores an unseen evil as it haunts the homestead in this chilling, folkloric tale of madness, paranoia, and otherworldly terror. Lizzy (Caitlin Gerard) is a tough, resourceful frontierswoman settling a remote stretch of land on the 19th-century American frontier. Isolated from civilization in a desolate wilderness where the wind never stops howling, she begins to sense a sinister presence that seems to be born of the land itself, an overwhelming dread that her husband (Ashley Zukerman) dismisses as superstition.

Masterfully blending haunting visuals with pulse-pounding sound design, director Emma Tammi evokes a godforsaken world in which the forces of nature come alive with quivering menace. Julia
