Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 10/29/2016
Director Nick Jongerius can't entirely keep the story from feeling warmed-over, but fans should be too pleased by the movie's professionalism to complain much. Go to Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh 05/12/2023
4/5
Come for the supernatural tale of a bunch of sinners getting their punishment, stay for insane practical effects that will surprise even the most jaded of horror fans. Go to Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 04/19/2020

... a new slasher killer that could easily get a few more movies in him if they develop him and his mythology correctly. Go to Full Review Michelle Swope HorrorNews.net 11/05/2019

The scenery was beautiful and the acting overall was pretty good, but I did feel that the film was a bit slow at times. Go to Full Review Joey Keogh Wicked Horror 10/07/2019

It's great to see a real, old-school flick of this nature, lovingly made and presented, with a real understanding of how these movies operate and why they were so popular in the first place. Go to Full Review Nathanael Hood The Young Folks 11/11/2016

The final shots of The Windmill feel like Jongerius surrendering his movie to how he thinks others would want it to end. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

11/01/2021 Look, if there's going to be a Dutch slasher, it's going to have a windmill in it. Those are the rules*. Also, the windmill has to be haunted and Amicus-style lure people to it, upon which it will send out a scythe-carrying demon that makes people face their fears and then die. There's also a bus fill of these people whose sins need to be punished and they walk right into a cabin filled with symbols of their past misdeeds. And there's no escaping the demonic miller. There's a cool trick of showing the past of what each victim before they're killed with some decent practical effects. One by one, they all pay, and then one assumes the next bus comes in. I also learned that bone meal can close up a cut and that director Nick Jongerius grew up next to a frightening windmill, which explains so much. *I'm lying. Amsterdamned doesn't have any windmills in it. See more 06/16/2021 Since I´m currently in a Horror Movie Phase again I watch literally EVERY Horror Movie recommended to me by YouTube. As I saw the title I really thought that´d be a funny great movie. But the further it got the more predictable it became. I mean after that awkward "There´s always a free Seat for another sinner" Scene I knew the Bus Driver MUST´VE something to do with the upcoming Kills. All in all I gotta say it was super predictable, had no real action featured and is boring as hell. See more 02/23/2021 Absolutely trash that came straight from hell See more 12/21/2020 Not a bad slasher flick, although the lead actress did not really suit the setting, i though at least. See more 11/12/2020 Que caralho de filme horrivel, defeitos especiais feitos no paint, mortes sem nexo nenhum, jumpscare que da vontade de rir, os dialogos são uma bosta atrás da outra, não perca seu precioso tempo vendo isso.
