What do you get when you throw a group of horny and sexually repressed teenage girls in a creepy old boarding school for a week? More sexy supernatural antics than you can shake a stick at! Helmed by Mexican horror-meister Carlos Enrique Taboada, Hasta el viento tiene miedo is a classic gothic ghost story with some swingin' twists (the girls like to force each other to strip for entertainment!). When Claudia starts having nightmares about being beckoned to a locked up tower in the garden, she and her friends decide to investigate, but when the authoritarian headmistress learns they have been exploring off-limits areas, she sentences them to spend vacation at school. It is not long before Claudia and the other girls begin having strange visions of a ghost in the tower window, and mysterious and sinister sins from the past soon start bubbling up to the surface. Despite his fondness for the occasional lurid material, Taboada belongs more to the old-Hollywood style school of horror, and is not afraid to shy away from expressionistic absurdity. The result is an entertaining, and at times chilling movie that revels in a kind of hamstrung melodramatic intensity you just do not see anymore.
