Cold Wind Blowing (2022)
Really a gem
There's some truly impressive characterization at play here with the writing, directing, and performances combining to make a really compelling whole. The cinematography and editing pull it all together in a lovely way that drew me in and kept surprising me. Also frankly I love to see a film that knows when to show (or not show) what's haunting the characters when that seems to be pretty rare nowadays (there's also beautiful effects work, which is a real treat for practicals buffs). I felt compelled to hop on and give this a review because no, it's definitely not a typical slasher film, and yes, turning those expectations on their head is exactly what makes it so exciting, especially for a first feature in my opinion. If you're looking for something different that will stick with you after watching, these are filmmakers to keep an eye on.
