- Jennifer (Charlotte Beaumont), an Australian girl on the run, washes up in Amsterdam. To stay one step ahead of the authorities, she joins a coach load of tourists on a rural tour of Holland's world-famous windmills. When the bus breaks down, she and the other tourists are forced to seek shelter in a disused shed beside a sinister windmill where, legend has it, a Devil-worshipping miller once ground the bones of locals.

An enjoyably horrific journney ... - The Windmill Massacre review by NP
In the UK's comedy 'The Office', Patrick Baladi excelled at being the company heart-throb and hatchet man, someone who could end your career with a smug smile. As Douglas West at one point, he is rather less sympathetic, only realising the folly of his ways whilst stranded in a creepy windmill with a group of others. He is possibly the best-known actor in a uniformly terrific - and diverse - cast.
Boarding a bus for the guided tour of Holland, the group we are to spend the following 85 minutes with are a motley, flawed bunch - Abe (Bart Klever) the guide's weary manner seems to betray something more about him than is immediately apparent. As for his passengers - all of them have a story to tell. Some of them would rather keep it to themselves, but there are no secrets on the 'Happy Holland Tour'.
Nick Jongerius who writes and directs, has guided us on a terrific journey and even at the film's close, the journey shows no real sign of ending, which is disconcerting for any who board the bus. Happily, storytelling comes first here, and the effects that occasionally embellish it are physical for the most part, rather than CGI. Highly recommended. My score is 9 out of 10.
