When the students at an-all female boarding house are forced to stay on campus during a holiday break, they find themselves in the middle of a suspected haunting that has ties to those in charge and try to stop it before it gets deadly.This was an utterly enjoyable and engrossing Mexican horror effort, with one of the better and more entertaining ghost stories around that make for some incredibly enjoyable times around. Filled with lots of atmosphere in the gigantic facility, a perfectly captivating mystery and the right amount of tension-release, from cheesy dance numbers and slight lesbian undertones to the gang's night-time investigations and the interactions with the headmistress make for some somewhat slow-going but still decent-enough interludes from the haunting action, and while it's not a real go-for-the-throat style of haunting where it constantly reinforces it's there but contains enough set-pieces to make it consciously part of the film. The last half is a little too cheesy to mesh with the classic first-half, but it's still a great old-school ghost story and a highly entertaining one at that.Today's Rating-Unrated/PG: Violence.
After hearing from neighbors and friends about a Mexican movie that sure will scare you, and also that the story was happening in a school, i was waiting for Televisa to show this movie, without any luck i had to wait about 7 years to find this movie on DVD and finally Watch, i would say the wait was worth it , sure is a 60's movie and the image, picture and sound is not that great, but the way the history is deliver will make you watch until the end. The film despite having a simple script, captivates and put the viewer in the story, and has been blamed for taking out dreams to two generations that followed and saw on television more than films. With an exceptional cast and successful, the film is full of subtle horror, fine and perhaps therefore highly effective, unlike anything he had done before.
It's been over thirty years since I've seen "Hasta el Viento Tiene Miedo" but I still think it is the best thriller movie ever...I can still picture some of the scenes. If you want to be scared without being grossed out, this is the film to see. When I saw it, I thought it would be the usual campy type scare film. But, instead, it turned out to be one of the best I've ever seen. The suspense builds throughout the film and brings to mind the thrillers by Hitchcock. The actors were wonderfully natural, not the usual "kid" actors and the scenery was frightfully eerie. The sound effects were also good, you could feel the wind blowing throughout. I would love to see it again...does anyone know where I could buy a copy?
I think there will never be a movie like this.. why? because it was made a masterpiece without any special effects at all. The wind sound is scary as itself, and the voice saying "Claaaaaaaudia" is the best!Carlos Taboada had very clear the effect that this sub-rated film would have through the time.. he didn't use something with lights or shadows... the simple and peaceful image of Andrea standing in the middle of the woods chills you out, or Diego, saying that when the wind is like that... he knows she's around.What I don't know exactly about this film is that my husband says there are two endings... one that shows the feet in the window, and the other that it doesn't. Is that true?in three words.. It's awesome!
