The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
... View MoreThe tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
... View MoreThe movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
... View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
... View MoreThis movie was a complete waste of time. I have seen my share of bad movies, but this one takes the cake. Worst movie i have ever saw in all my years. The people who say beware of no plot, are 100% correct. How dare someone comment saying they enjoyed this movie?, Whats that all about? Windcroft is a complete windcrap at stated by some other user here. I have never reviewed a movie, and this will more than likely be my last, but this movie had to have been shot in about 3 hours. Bad movie, bad movie. This movie will surely find its way to the $2 movie bin at Target. Even then you will still be getting cheating. Can't believe I kept watching after the first hour of nothing. This movie was bad all the way up to the credits, from start to finish.
... View MoreJust to warn you viewers, all of the great reviews for this movie are all from people who stand to profit from this movie. I rented this movie based on the number of stars from this site and the other reviews and found out how stupid it was the hard way.This movie is not interesting at all!! The acting is disturbingly bad, the music sounds worst than cheesy porn music, and the camera used must have been some cheap disposable video camera. Windcroft lacks a plot, acting, scary scenes, everything imaginable. I have seen school kids perform plays that are more interesting and have a better storyline.I wouldn't be so hard on WindCroft, but it's obvious that the people involved in this movie are the ones that rated and reviewed it here. For example, look at the number of 10's this movie got, lets be honest, when's the last time you saw any movie that deserved a 10. Please do yourself a favor and don't watch this movie. Don't even rent it, don't even watch it if it comes on TV.
... View MoreIf ever there was a love it or hate it suspense movie, it is Windcroft. But given that it is 4/10 at the time of my writing (with only 99 votes) it definitely looks like the "hate it" camp are winning. Just don't let its awful rating put you off. For this is in many ways an excellent movie which keeps you guessing (if you give it the time for its slow suspense to build); however, I'd say that you have to find yourself with an interest in its characters within the first 20 minutes or you will probably be annoyed by it ultimately.When someone wrote that this was like a cross between the shining and Wuthering heights, they weren't far off the mark. For it definitely has elements of both in it.Having said that, I don't wish to say too much more about it at present as I don't wish to give anything away. But it certainly deserves more than its current meagre 4/10 rating. The movie's direction, acting and screenplay were all first rate. Yet some of the complainers write that the movie is not explained and therefore it is rubbish. Well why does madness need an explanation always? Sometimes some people are insane and they are very good at hiding that insanity within themselves until...By the way, I am not someone who ever enjoys b grade horror movies and still very much recommend this for those who enjoyed a movie such as 'Haute Tension', or, 'Ils' (aka Them).
... View MoreAfter some IMDb silence, I finally have something to say:"Independent" movies are getting a bad wrap lately, and Windcroft is an exception to the mundane "Indie-darling" comedies that flood the marketplace. Unfortunately, If you were not at the one-night-only screening last week, you might have to wait for the DVD.Windcroft has ramped up suspense from the first scene and never stops. At the end, I was as out of breath as the panting protagonist - coincidence? I doubt it. This movie had all the pieces to its intricate puzzled meticulously arranged for me to absorb like an intelligent human being. Rather than wasting time on the plot, I'll describe why you should see this particular movie. First, the acting was superb. I have no idea who these talented young thespians are, but they knocked my socks off. (Sure, there were a few moments or characters that were a little flat, but those were fleeting, and the atmosphere more than made up for it.) The camera work was superb. Super wide overhead shots of sweeping landscapes mixed with extreme detailed closeups of rusting farm equipment with jagged edges and gleaming blades. The story was entirely unique (as much as one can really be in this day and age)and so carefully drawn that the twists and turns had me reeling. The music was chilling, eerie and at times sublime... All this leads to one thing: Direction. Anyone able to keep this house of cards together with such confidence is a true talent. And his demeanor (Meszaros humbly introduced the film at the screening) was friendly and sharp. As with any (apparently) self financed independent film, Windcroft has its flaws - but I've been so inundated with junk in the last few years that this was like a jolt of adrenaline, (yet paced for a slow burn). If you can, see it. And follow those involved.
