One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

No stars for this movie. Bad acting, music sux. Not entertaining. Maybe if your over 70 years old and can't have any excitement in your life, then this is the movie for you. Lol at the "scary" scene. Yep I said it, "scene". Only 1 scene that attempts to scare, and it fails. The movie is a big floppy failure. I wouldn't want my worst enemy to have to sit through this movie. Wardrobe was like looking in your grandparents closet. Eww. Whoever wrote this obviously has no creative gene in their body. If any one finds this movie interesting in the least bit, then you need to get out more. I should have known by the title that this movie was going to be stupid. You got my 4 bucks, but i know to never watch anything that even remotely involves "Evan (director)" whats his face.

If 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).

Easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I love indie films. but one of the requirements of a good film is a plot. This movie has almost none. The building of the suspense was very well done, but there was absolutely no explanation for where the movie ended up. You sit through 80 minutes of slow moving, so-so dialog to be rewarded with an ending utterly confusing and abrupt. An extra five minutes would have been sufficient to tie everything together, instead we are left in the dark as to how everything relates. The scenery in the movie was quite nice, but thats about where the good points end. I wouldn't recommend this movie to people I don't like, much less anyone else.

Wow--this was really a great film. I saw it at the film anthology archive last week, and did not know what to expect. First time Director Evan Messaros hits us with a drama that gets into our dreams. The cinematography was beautiful, the tension riveting, and the story unnerving. Terrific job all around. The film was not unnecessarily gory or exploitive. I don't think it fits in the "horror" category, maybe independent suspense thriller--if there is such a category. The acting was really good and the tension built up from the very first shot until the very last shot. Also, if you like coyotes, Upstate landscapes, spooky country houses, and barns, this is the film for you...
