The concept of horror on film is most often exhibited with masked killers, mutant monsters, or extraterrestrial terrors that live only in imagination. Defying that very concept, 1986’s When the Wind Blows presents a true existential terror that cuts to the core of modern fears. Using a simple, yet effective style of animation, director Jimmy Murakami brought Raymond Briggs’ gut-wrenching graphic novel to life, depicting the real horrors of nuclear war through a childlike lens.
One of the principal critiques featured in When the Wind Blows concerns the civil defense efforts of the United Kingdom, particularly a publication called Protect and Survive. Throughout the film, James Boggs meticulously follows the instructions found in his Protect and Survive pamphlet. In it, British folk could find instructions on how to build an “inner core or refuge”, a lean-to shelter featured in the film made of doors piled over with pillows.
