The Wendigo

I just made an account on here to warn everyone about how terrible this movie is. I really don't know what to say. My cat actually got up and left the room 10 minutes in and came back right after it was over,I was actually excited to watch this movie with my girlfriend and we are still in shock at this disgrace of a horror movie we just witnessed,I wasted one of my energy drinks to have the energy to stay up and put my eyes through the torture of watching this, I still have to put more characters in here, I don't think I'm gonna put spoilers, that was the most painful hour of my life and I've fractured my arm before, so if someone actually read all this and still wants to watch this film,Godspeed.

Where to start...I waited forever for this found footage wendigo film only to be so disappointed with the outcome. It was only a little over an hour and I almost couldn't make it to the end. This is NOT horror and is definitely NOT a creature feature. It's just bad acting, bad effects, and an even worse story line. The main subject, Logan, is absolutely terrible. I couldn't root more for his demise. If you're looking for a strong found footage horror film and a good wendigo storyline this is NOT the found footage film for you. I usually don't expect much from FF movies but this was a let down.

It started out ok and could have be decent and built the characters up a little, but needed more back stories. Once in the woods it could have been good, but then they just do anything to make it mysterious and confussing and plot changes. Characters change during the plot for no reason and the plot and story just do not make sense. They seem to take ideas from Blair Witch and many other found footage films. Along with a evil dead plot ideas, but not in a good way. In the end the movies is not really about the Wendigo. Could have used a stronger and solid story/writing before going to the shooting stages.

I implore you and all in your trade who think they are multi faceted, to please pick a profession and stick with it.

Please listen to me and all the other poor souls who have to sit through and watch the results of such multi roles in a film. Its sad.

Writers should write.

Actors should act.

Directors should direct.

PERIOD.

When you try, and I wish I could bold the word try, to do all three or even two of those roles, the end result is a sad display of ego on film.

The product suffers, your viewers suffer and the craft suffers.

Do one thing and do it well, and when you try to do all three, the outcome is a reassurance of why one should only attempt one of those roles.

I could barely pay attention it was so boring. They got the wendigo lore wrong and didn't even try to just make a creative twist to the lore. The makeup was awful and cheesy most of the time. Occasionally it looked creepy but that didn't last long. The trail cams were so stupid in this black and white artsy style. Making the video lag or blur and freeze and then play over and over again in various scenes is the most annoying. We get it. Everything they really couldn't compensate for their budget they pretended the camera had an issue. Nobody seemed to be the main character. Dialogue was very stupid. Characters were so one dimensional I neither cared nor wished them dead. They just meant nothing at all. The wendigo itself looked incredibly awful. Like a walmart ghillie suit and a cheap halloween skull. Just a terrible movie. Awful. Don't fall for the movie poster.
