The Wendigo

I'm the biggest Wendigo Enthusiast out there, and all I wanted was for Wendi to be on screen doing fun things. What we got was a rough intro with very unlikable characters, and it felt like it didn't really pick up until 40 minutes in. The story doesn't really have any depth and the dialogue is nonsense and hard to hear at times.

The Wendigo outfit was awesome though, and some fun moments and its short length keep this from being truly bad. Still waiting for that truly great Wendigo film. Maybe one day with a big enough budget and slightly more effective looks and tricks that can scare the audience.

It really wasn't much. It was cheesy, hilarious and definitely not horror. The editing was over the top and makes the movie look cheap. It's an okay "mockumentary"/found footage movie. But its nothing ground breaking. It reminded me of VHS if you ever seen that. I wouldn't say it's bad by any means, but it's also not that good either. It's somewhere in the middle. Giving it a 5 would be too generous though.

If you are expecting a movie with character backgrounds, lots of suspense and good effects, this probably isn't the movie for you. But if you are looking for a quick movie to watch just for fun and entertainment, then I would say go for it.

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.

I love a good found footage movie. Thing is, out of 10 found footage movies one will be watchable. Out of ten watchable ones, two will be better than fair. This is not one of those. With despicable characters and impossible occurrences combined with a slow pace this was doomed from the word go. The ONLY thing getting this a two star rating from me as opposed to a one star is the accuracy with which it portrays "influencers". Spend an hour on the cesspool that is Instagram for confirmation. With that said, there is no reason to watch this horrid, amateurish, lifeless imposter of a movie. None. Don't bother.

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.
