MonsterVision99 I watched this movie when I was a little kid with my mom a long time ago, I never thought too much about it, I just considered it a decent horror movie with a pretty good title. Seeing it again after all these years I realize just how good it is.Its as classic of a horror story as you can get, a ghost in a school, its relatable and familiar, a bit cliché by now but what makes you forget about how much this concept has been used is its execution, this is a genuinely eerie film, it doesn't use the usual cliché "scary faces" or "creepy sounds", however, it uses elements that are often used in classic horror like darkness, the wind, lightnings and cries (this is the first time I found someone crying in the dark of the night to be scary) but uses this elements at the right time, it doesn't waste them trying to scare you every so often, it builds the mood and the setting in such an astounding way before something scary actually happens in the story.Taboada is often considered to be the master of Mexican horror and I agree, while there have been other great directors who have made horror films, Taboada is the only director who worked consistently in the horror genre and not only that, but his movies are always great. He also understands the genre very well, he knows that in movies like these the special effects wont be effective, he knows that characters, mood and execution are priorities. Taboada knows that ghosts aren't evil entities but souls in pain who look for redemption.An amazing film that deals with many interesting themes and subjects, this is probably one of the movies I would like to re watch soon if I find the time to do it.

musicacien It is necessary to mention that the dialogs of this movie are not very intelligent, the history is developed of flat form and a bored point...! but that I say... we remember that the 70's entered in Mexico, and we came from a matriarchal, where alone cinema they were histories of towns, ranchers, of the abandoned mother and histories of love. Until the wind he/she is afraid (version of 1968), he/she comes to also give a turn in the cinema goods that it was developed in Mexico, with a cast of first actresses, as Marga López, Norma Lazareno, and several more. I don't know if it is of cult, but I consider it one of the classics of the Mexican cinema, since they are few the films of this gender in Mexico that you/they are able to convince.

Fermin Treviño Adame It had to be until the sixties, almost twenty years after the called golden age of the Mexican movies when it perceived a real horror Mexican film, a field not very explored for Mexican directors, just Fernando Mendez had taken with seriousness this point in his acceptable films El Vampiro(1957),Ladron de cadaveres(1957),not very fortunate were the several Santo's movies and others wrestlers plagued with monsters and strange creatures whom effects were more involuntary comedy than horror. and was Guillermo del Toro( twenty years after wards) with Cronos(1993) when we can see another interesting Mexican director of horror films.Hasta el Viento Tiene Miedo(Even the Wind is Scared) written and directed by Carlos Enrique Taboada confirmed his talent as a writer and shows his ability as director, with scarce resources he got a real horror atmosphere obviously more suggested than visual., besides ,he knows how to get the maximum of a very limited feminine cast, (just three men appears during the movie in very secondary roles,)so we can believe the words of Alicia Bonet more than her exaggerated facial expressions every time she finish any phrase ,or the intense performance of Maricruz Olivier as the kind teacher even we can hate the uncompromising director of the girls institute played by Marga Lopez, without many movies of the genre to compete with Hasta el viento tiene miedo has all the ingredients to be consider a classic of the Mexican horrors Films

miriam-ayala I think there will never be a movie like this.. why? because it was made a masterpiece without any special effects at all. The wind sound is scary as itself, and the voice saying "Claaaaaaaudia" is the best!Carlos Taboada had very clear the effect that this sub-rated film would have through the time.. he didn't use something with lights or shadows... the simple and peaceful image of Andrea standing in the middle of the woods chills you out, or Diego, saying that when the wind is like that... he knows she's around.What I don't know exactly about this film is that my husband says there are two endings... one that shows the feet in the window, and the other that it doesn't. Is that true?in three words.. It's awesome!
