The Windigo

This is one of the worst films I've seen in recent history. It was so bad, I got up and left. I almost made it to the end of the driveway before I realized I was watching it at home. Was I supposed to be scared, because if I was, I missed it. Oh sure, it had its prerequisite number of jump scares to qualify as a horror movie, but most were overused tropes and predictable. And, speaking of predictable, I predicted the movie's ending less than half way through, and the only reason I watched it to the end, was to see if I was right. I was. With regards to the acting, the male lead's acting was so bad, I actually burst out laughing several times. I wasted about an hour and a half of my life watching this movie.

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.

An exhibition into how far we will go before we realize we're being played. This creature feature speaks through 90's aesthetics, horrible dialogue, and the worst acting I've seen since the last found footage whatever to hit Netflix. The writer assumes you will just sit and take it, and we mistakenly did, thinking it MUST get better at some point (it does NOT). You may as well sit down and watch American Werewolf in London- a better film with better effects, and more updated. Do better. Do not waste your money to rent this. The acting of the main character is only insulted further by the most laughable physical effects ever seen on screen. The good reviews that led us to spend money renting this film are insulting and frankly should be banned. Disgusted. Please don't waste your money. Don't be fooled.

I wanted a scary movie and the promising reviews did me in. This is not only not scary at all, it's not a good movie, don't waste your time. No atmosphere was created aside from something that Hallmark might produce. The accompanying music was awful in trying to establish the mood. Another reviewer mentioned the actor Marco Fuller being more of a distraction than anything of value, and I couldn't agree more, and I couldn't exactly say why. It looked like the actors were acting on top of all the other fails - maybe the grandma was the most convincing. It got annoying to watch and I couldn't waste any more time on it.

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.
