   Slow non-suspenseful nor scary film. Interesting premise but poor execution. The movie just feels like a cheap rip off of movies like Evil Dead and other creepy spirit in the forest type films. This is a waste of time skip it. Really felt like a 30 minute short dragged on to 1 hour and a half. 6 years 6 months ago

   Patricia Clarkson and Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle are the two big stars of Wendigo, but the monster kind of isn't, and you keep wondering if it's at all real, or just part of the kid's dark, overactive imagination. But also asks whether that makes a difference, as spirits might exist on belief. That doesn't mean it doesn't have any chills and scares. After a family has a traumatizing run-in with a mean-spirited hunter in snowy upstate New York, they find themselves further terrorized up at the cabin they're borrowing from a friend. There are many volatile situations where you think things could explode, so the film works fairly well as a thriller. I wouldn't call this a kid's movie, given the blood, sex and language, but it's practically told from the boy's point of view, which is perhaps why it feels so timid at the end. Some hokey transitions and nightmare effects, but at least there's some style at play, and it works hard to cover the low-budget climax, if not entirely successfully. 3 months 2 weeks ago
