The premise
Jennifer, an Australian girl on the run from her past, turns up in Amsterdam and, in a desperate attempt to blend in, joins a coach-load of tourists on a tour of Holland's old windmills. When the bus breaks down in the middle of nowhere, she and the other tourists are forced to seek shelter in a disused shed beside a sinister windmill where a devil-worshiping miller once ground the bones of locals instead of grain. As members of the group start to disappear, Jennifer learns that they all have something in common – a shared secret that seems to mark them all for doom.
Horror Vault's take
A tourist bus stranded amid the Dutch countryside becomes a death trap when a group of sightseers stumbles into the shadow of a notorious windmill with a blood-soaked legend attached to it. Each traveller is carrying a secret from their past, and something ancient and malevolent seems intent on settling old scores. Equal parts slasher and supernatural nightmare, The Windmill Massacre leans hard into practical gore and a grimly inventive killer drawn from devil-worshipping folklore. The isolated flatlands of Holland make for an unexpectedly effective horror backdrop, swapping familiar genre scenery for something distinctly eerie.
