I’m a sucker for spacious nature shots in the snow. The ability the film has to make it feel like you’re trapped in the wide open is a thing of beauty. The fast cutting, while not as popular as it became a few years later, fits the film really well and gives it a surreal feel. Almost silent except for wind howling through trees or a snap of a twig in the distance. A true horror of the mind. The end kind of goes of the rails and almost kills the vibe, but the first 3/4 are too good to deny.

I had little to none interest in seeing the end of the movie when I was about the half of it so I stopped watching.

Decent horror that ultimately takes too long to get going. There is nothing wrong with character development so long as it keeps the flow moving at a good pace (especially in the horror/suspense genre).

With this being 2001, but an apparently low budget, I really appreciated Wendigo's high reliance on editing effects. I'm not surprised to discover that Fessenden is the editor of his own film, since the editing is such a labor of love. The script is not so cookie-cutter horror, either, and there's no absence of creepiness. However, it's ultimately disappointing (and hardcore horror purists will demand their money back).

"Fessenden's narrative is just as much about the ownership and redefinition of myth as it is about a domestic unit finding their way to joy." - Ed Gonzalez

On a movie night, I convinced a group of friends to watch this because I thought the idea of an actual Wendigo would lead to a good horror movie. They haven't spoken to me since.

Dull, tedious, bland, painful dreadful. One decent effect but don't fall for the misleading reviews by The New York Times on the box.

If you ever come upon a DVD copy of the film, just leave it on the title-select screen. The atmosphere created there is far creepier than the over-the-top idiocy that occurs in the actual film.
