The film “Demon Wind” from 1990 offers a familiar plot with young characters facing zombie encounters. The protagonist, played by Eric Larson, sets out to investigate his grandparents’ mysterious disappearance at a remote mountain cabin. The story unfolds in an Evil Dead-style setting, where mystical forces possess the living and revive the dead.
Deriving elements from various horror films, “Demon Wind” fails to bring anything new to the genre. Despite its attempts at ambitious dream sequences and surreal effects, the movie ultimately falls short of making a lasting impact.
Rated R for its content, the film explores mystery and horror genres, targeting enthusiasts of the supernatural and the macabre. With a fast-paced narrative but lacking substance, “Demon Wind” may appeal to fans of classic zombie horror tropes.
