Sit Back and Let This Film Scare the &^%# Out of You!

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Character develop is the key to success in suspense thrillers such as "Windcroft". Set in the beautiful and lush countryside, this riveting chiller develops slowly...but picks up the pace...just as your heart will as you enter the final 30 minutes. While some reviewers have a problem with a "slow start"...I don't. We need to warm up to the husband and wife duo as they venture out for a much-needed getaway. But when the truth comes out, all &^%$ breaks loose. This is a classic thriller...in the Hitchcock vein. I gave it 5 stars. But before I rated this gem, I noticed on the back of the box that it had won six awards...BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY, BEST ACTRESS (Monica Wright), BEST DIRECTOR (Evan Mezaros), BEST PICTURE, and two additional awards for Monica and Evan. Right on! This is a must see for thriller freaks. Enjoy the slow start and fasten your seat belts for the gripping conclusion. BRAVO!"
