One of the few Greek filmmakers to work substantially in international productions,
Nico Mastorakis has primarily been responsible for undistinguished genre efforts like
Blood Tide,
Grandma's House, and this thriller.
Meg Foster stars as Sian, an American mystery writer who comes to an imposing villa in a small Greek town to work on her new book. The villa's proprietor (
Robert Morley) warns her of the killer winds that sweep up at night, but the real killer Sian should be concerned about the handyman, played by
Wings Hauser of
Vice Squad. Hauser murders Elias and stalks Foster through the dark, windswept villa for the rest of the film, until he is dispatched with suitably histrionic aplomb.
David McCallum and
Steve Railsback show up as well. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
