Demon Wind (1990)

October Challenge Day 11

I've been having a hellish week. Really terrible week. Poor health, stress overload, family health problems, and then our upstairs neighbor left their tub running - and then left the apartment! - so we had a minor flood. Get right out of town, universe, because this is a bunch of BS.

As a result I've needed quite a few ridiculous gore fests to quiet the mind and chill out. One of those fests included the marvelous diamond in the puss-filled rough: Demon Wind.


That poster belongs in a museum! That belongs in a museum!!!

Good lord. Just look at that beauty.

So, fun fact, I've personally encountered some demon winds. It's usually after I eat several slices of roasted garlic clove-covered pizza and topping my gut with some mighty IPA beers, but every once in a while they come out of nowhere and they, sure enough, blow me away.

This story is delightfully all over the place, but in short it's about a (surprisingly large) group of teen/20-somethings that are road tripping to a friend's family farm. The farm is a dark and spooky place where something terrible happened years ago. Mystery solving time!

You all know how this is going to end - in blood and guts. Never mind that, it's the adventure as the story unfolds that is the true gem of this experience. For instance, there is a scene where an amateur magician roundhouse kicks a can of beer and I'm STILL laughing. Laughing out loud. I cheers who ever wrote that scene.

Gore! Gore! Gore! Gitty up gore fans - this stuff is hilariously epic. Fun monsters, side-ticking banter, groan-worthy banter, startlingly striking scenery and settings - this is a fun, fun film.

Pairs with moods that need uplifting, cans of beer or bottles of Coke. Order in from your sketchiest local restaurant and order the most unusual item on the menu. 

I watched this film on the Shudder channel, or use the Horror Habit's Find It! Watch It! Links to locate where else you can find this late night giggle gore fest gem.
