Genre: Drama, Horror, Monsters, Suspense, Supernatural

Tagline: A new hallucination from the director of HABIT.

Plot: The suggestive WENDIGO is the final installment in a trilogy of horror films from director Larry Fessenden (HABIT NO TELLING). Beginning on a dark, snowy road in rural Connecticut, WENDIGO immediately slams into gear as a family of New York City visitors run over a deer and drive into a ditch. As George (Jake Weber), his wife Kim (Patricia Clarkson), and son Miles (Erik Per Sullivan) wait for a tow truck to rescue them, they cross paths with an unhinged hunter named Otis (John Speredakos) who finishes off the deer and begins terrorizing the family. Things take an unusual turn, though, after Miles meets a spectral Native American elder (Lloyd E. Oxendine) and learns the secrets of the hungering Wendigo spirit.

Balancing jittery camera work with placid landscapes, Fessenden creates a foreboding mood for WENDIGO from the opening scene and never lets up. The movie shifts between the firm character grounding of the family, the edgy terror of Otis, and the elusive spirit-world of the beastly Wendigo in a way that seems to draw clear lines for the audience, only to redraw them with hairpin plot-turns and unsettling

 External Reviews
external linkI know a lot of people will disagree with me, but I enjoyed the movie. It's very slow and we really don't get to see much of any sort of "Wendigo," but I liked the story and found things to be interesting. Not recommended unless you wouldn't mind a slow horror flick that's mainly story driven. 6/10


external linkIf you like the 'arty' kinda films then you might like this one, but if you don't, I wouldn't believe the cover at all and leave it the hell alone. 2/5
