HASTA EL VIENTO TIENE MIEDO 1968

I have no idea what company released this DVD as it is not printed on the case, but I did buy this at a Hastings store many years ago.

The title translates into "Even The Wind Is Afraid". The story revolves around an all girls school and a student named Claudia (Alicia Bonet) who is haunted by a mysterious voice calling her name in the middle of the night.

Claudia and her friends break into a tower on the school grounds which is forbidden, and as punishment they are forced to stay at the school during spring break.

It is revealed that a student committed suicide there 5 years before after a similar incident and that it might repeat itself again.

This is a pretty interesting and well made ghost story from Mexico. The version I have does not contain subtitles, but the story is not hard to follow anyway. The story unfolds slowly and build up the characters and then begins with the tension of a well made story.

It's a hard film to track down, but if you have the patience I would recommend this. It ranks up there with some of the best horror tales committed to film.
