Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

jrd_73 I began watching this Mexican horror film, a thriller set in a girl's school, with some excitement since I had read nothing but praise for it. Now that it is over, I do not see what all the fuss is about. Perhaps one has to see Hasta el Viento Tiene Miedo young, before watching many horror movies. Otherwise, it is just not an especially memorable horror movie. The first problem is the film's slow pace. The first forty-five or fifty minutes is all set up. It's a lot of wind blowing, cats jumping out, and "did you see that strange girl" type discussions. All of this becomes tedious after awhile. The film does not produce any surprises or action until its final third. By that time, many viewers have given up.A second problem is the tameness of the whole film. I do realize that a ghost story is built upon mood and atmosphere rather than shock scenes, but, really, this is a horror film for one's grandmother. I find the film's scares all old hat for 1968. That was the year of Night of the Living Dead, the year of Targets, the year of Naked You Die, a much better school girl mystery.Hasta el Viento Tiene Miedo does have a few surprises. The film takes an unexpected turn in the final third. The striptease scene is colorful and sexy in a PG way. There is also some nice interaction between the girls. Despite these pluses, the film is not worth the time. The movie is further ill served by a flat ending. Those interested in seeing a late 1960's mystery set at a girl's school would be better off checking out Naked You Die or The House that Screamed from 1969.

Darkling_Zeist 'Hasta el viento tiene miedo' is a supremely atmospheric Gothic horror from the Mexican maestro of understated chills, Carlos Enrique Taboada. Here he takes a prosaic plot, the haunting of a all-girls school and turns it into high cinematic art. To my shame I was, until recently, entirely unaware of Taboada's genre cinema, and it becomes apparent fairly swiftly that he is a true master of horror; the opening gambit of 'Hasta el viento tiene miedo' is creepy, subtle and shows a great mastery of camera that brings to mind the visionary genius of, Mario Bava. This is a genuinely unnerving ghost story that has you in its icy grip from its bravura first act to the heart-pounding, ectoplasmic denouement. 'Hasta el viento tiene miedo' is clearly an important work, whose chilling Gothic motifs rivals that of 'Black Sunday', 'N.O.T.L.D', and 'Carnival of Souls', and it remains a profound injustice to genre cineastes everywhere that Taboada's majestic, penetrating visions of fear aren't more recognized for the landmark films that they so clearly are.

sha_lio 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.

c1cl0ps1 Hasta el Viento Tiene Miedo, show us the story of a group of young ladies, that as a punishment, they have to stay in the boarding school for vacations. The ghost of a death schoolmate makes her appearance to unwrap a story with the most pure terror style. The movie it's great and although it follows the typical pattern of movies made during those times, it stills being frightening. It also shows a great perspective of the Mexican society and with the scene of the striptease, I believe that it goes a little beyond the times when it was released. Whether you like Mexican movies or not this movie proves that although the lack of resources which it was made, at least we can say that we have a great horror ancient film, a genre that isn't common at all in this industry.
