The Windigo

I was pleasantly surprised that each actor in this film was able to clearly hold their own through the duration of the film and not one performance ever slipped or fell short. Gabe Torres creates a visually stirring and engaging cautionary tale about the lure and danger of unchecked power. The script was a touch lackluster and the characters were a touch one dimensional. My only real is that if a character is a brown belt in BJJ, they better have the moves to back that claim. All in all, a great watch, one that I will recommend to others. Big props to the actor responsible for the Windigo performance, it was incredible.

I was pretty interested and excited about watching this. Let the lights down and it instantly starts off with a pretty cheesy opening scene that showed way too much of the creature. Throughout the film it felt as if Marco Fuller was more of a distraction to what the movie could have been.

It felt like I was watching an episode of the 90s goosebumps that just kept going. The pacing was not good, you feel as if you're waiting for it to get better, then it just never does. It had some decent practical effects, but then probably the worst cgi of the year in one scene.

The delivery is stale and uninspired.

First of all, this is not a Wendigo. Do not be fooled with some of these reviews saying that it's a good watch if you want to learn more about the Wendigo. This is much closer to the Wechuge (and even then, still not that close at all). They barely even got the cannibalistic aspect of it right. How do you mess that up? The Wendigo actually looks like a pale human with elongated limbs, and, of course, eats people (to oversimplify it).

At least they didn't also confuse it with the Skinwalker. The costume for the creature was obviously fake, but their budget was likely low and that was the best they could do. Don't hate on them for that. The acting was doable, but sometimes cringey. They included Native American actors as the main characters, so there's that at least. But that doesn't save them from how incorrect and how bad this movie was.

Where in the world did these pleasant reviews of this rubbish come from?! I rely heavily on IMDB reviews to assist in checking obscure films out before take the plunge-especially movies I have to rent. The glowing reviews of this made it a no brainer.

This is one of the worst piles of trash I've ever seen. I couldn't even finish this drivel. The acting is cartoonish. The writing is abysmal. The only pass from me is maybe everyone involved with this was the backup to the backup writers while Hollywood was on strike.

This is money and time I will never get back. This movie was so bad I turned it off and immediately went to bed.

I didn't see any of the trailers prior to seeing this movie but I initially started watching it because I was familiar with the legend of the Windigo. The movie started out as one son's wish to protect his family but quickly turned into a power trip gone wrong after calling a supernatural entity. I was hoping for more of a supernatural horror movie, similar to The Conjuring or The Watchers, but was unfortunately disappointed. While I realize that this may be a low budget movie but I wasn't happy with the acting, which appear to be stilted in places, and the Windigo's outfit appeared to be made out of latex and didn't appear realistic.
