Tagline: "This is not hell. This is Holland." With only 355 days to 2017's Halloween, the horror titles continue to launch. Nick Jongerius' The Windmill Massacre, retitled The Windmill, is set to release this November in Canada. Already released in the USA on VOD, this Dutch shot film is definitely a slasher. In the film, an ancient legend grinds up the bones of trespassers, in a sinister-looking mill. The film stars: Bart Klever, Charlotte Beaumont and many others. A preview of the film's Canadian release is hosted here. The film's official trailer shows Jennifer (Beaumont), on the run. She escapes into the Dutch countryside, with a group of tourists. But then, their tour bus breaks down. Alone in the dark, the sightseers encounter something in the woods, something that promises them doom! The Windmill will be releasing in just under a week, within Canada. The DVD launch is scheduled for November 15th.

Dutch horror films don’t get any more on-brand than The Windmill. Maybe a horror movie about the little Dutch boy who plugged that dam and saved Holland? Nah. Big, wooden windmills acting as a gateway to Hell screams Dutch horror, much like the Australian main character, the Asian sidekick….alright, there’s a bit more diversity past locale stereotyping. In any case, director Nick Jongerius spills buckets of gore all over the Netherlands, as a demon dispatches sinners with his all-healing scythe. Heads roll in the name of soulful enlightenment, because karma is quite the bitch in this European slasher import. Grab your clogs and throw on a poncho, because Holland’s hottest sightseeing tour is about to get messy. Like messy/gory, but also messy scripting, and messy crafting.
The film’s protagonist ends up being Jennifer (Charlotte Beaumont), a homeless Aussie transplant who just got outted as being an illegal.

In his new film, The Windmill, Nick Jongerius transforms one of Holland's picturesque tourist attractions into a hub of blood-soaked horror. With XLrator Media releasing The Windmill on VOD and iTunes this Tuesday, followed by a theatrical release on October 28th, we caught up with Jongerius for our latest Q&A feature.
Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, Nick. When did you first come up with the idea for The Windmill?
Nick Jongerius: My pleasure. Thanks for your interest in the film. I first started thinking about the idea for this film after Frankenstein's Army. Our investors at that time were really interested in Holland, especially Amsterdam—the dikes, windmills, clogs, etc. This triggered me. I thought, "What if we use these famous touristic symbols of Holland and drench them in blood? Sort of turning it upside down. From there we shot a proof of concept,...
