''The Wind'' is a 2018 western horror film directed by Emma Tammi in her directorial debut, starring Caitlin Gerard, Ashley Zukerman, Julia Goldani Telles and Miles Anderson.

Lizzy and Isaac Macklin live alone on a remote stretch of land in 19th century America, where the wind never stops howling. A series of strange occurrences convinces Lizzy that something sinister is haunting them, which is made even worse when a newlywed couple, Emma and Gideon Harper, arrives on a nearby homestead.

The film premiered at TIFF on September 10, 2018, before getting a wide release in the United States on April 5, 2019.

Not to be confused with the 1928 silent film ''Film/TheWind''.
