Carlos Enrique Taboada (1929-1997) was Mexico's most famous maker of supernatural ghost
stories with films like this one, the 1968 "Hasta el viento tiene miedo / Even the Wind is
Afraid", but also with the 1969 "El libro de piedra / The Book of Stone", 1975 "Más negro
que la noche / Darker than the Night" and his last film, and my favourite, the 1986
"Veneno para las hadas / Poison for the Fairies" and hopefully his other films will also
be available on bluray soon.
He worked as a scriptwriter for a decade before starting to direct his own films.
Note: Yes ! US Vinegar Syndrome released two of the above mentioned films on Blu-ray
in 2023, "Darker than the Night" and "Poison for the Fairies" plus one

Hasta el viento tiene miedo / Even the Wind is Afraid"

This ghost mystery in color tells the story of how a group of six girls, plus one .... the
snitching to the headmistress one, in an all-girl boarding school makes trouble for the
strict headmistress and are punished by being grounded at school during a vacation.
All the girls have to wear red school uniforms and some of them looks like they were
25 - 30 years old.
Somehow the unruly girls, the boarding school, the dining room with the staff and the
girls and the beautiful but strict headmistress reminded me of Narciso Ibañez Serrador's
1969 "La Residencia" and the set-up with female students being grounded or otherwise
forced to stay at school during a vacation, that is also a common plot element in the
Slashers that followed some decade later, with the difference that it's a ghost harassing
them here and a psychopath killer with a big knife in the slasher movies.

The Story:

Female student Claudia (Alicia Bonet) has nightmares where she's called by a voice and
in the dream she enters a room where a woman is hanging from the ceiling. There's a
locked Tower-like structure on the ground of the boarding school, and when Claudia
and her friends one day find it unlocked they enter. This is the place of my dream says
Claudia but before entering the attic room the headmistress turns up and stops them.
As punishment for entering an off-limit area they are grounded in school during the
up-coming vacation. Six girls, Claudia, Kitty (Norma Lazareno), Marina etc., the
unpopular snitching one Josefina (Elizabeth Dupeyron), the headmistres Ms. Bernard
(Marga Lopez) and her assistant Ms. Lucía (Maricruz Olivier) are left.
Spookery follows.

Note that the audio track is pretty bad and that this may be a DVD transfer, the picture
is OK only and not very crisp. Also, this seems to be a BD-R disc and not a regular
Bluray. Well, it have to do until Taboada's horror quartet have perfect releases.

The film is presented probably (not stated on sleeve) in widescreen 1.78:1 or 1.85:1
with spanish audio with english subtitles, region all
