The Wind

Lizzy and her husband Isaac live on an isolated stretch of the nineteenth-century American frontier, where he is often away for work and she is left alone in a windswept, desolate landscape. When a newlywed couple, Gideon and Emma Harper, settle on a nearby homestead, Lizzy initially welcomes the company. Her relief fades as Emma's behaviour grows strange and Lizzy becomes convinced that a malignant presence haunts the prairie around them, a fear her husband dismisses. Her paranoia deepens, and the threat she perceives seems to draw closer.

The Wind is a horror, mystery, thriller and western directed by Emma Tammi, the first of the five features listed for her, followed by Delivered, Blood Moon, Five Nights at Freddy's and Five Nights at Freddy's 2.
