If you're expecting a monster movie where dozens of victims are torn apart by a CGI behemoth, forget it. Instead, WENDIGO is a dark tale told mostly from a child's point of view. It's about imagination, mythology, and making sense out of harsh reality.
A boy named Miles (Erik Per Sullivan) is thrust into nightmarish circumstances when a family vacation becomes a deadly ordeal. After enraging a vengeful hunter (John Speredakos), the family becomes the object of his insane wrath. While his parents (Jake Weber and Patricia Clarkson) attempt to deal with the situation with logic and psychology, Miles is introduced to the spiritual world of the Wendigo.
The supernatural aspects of the story could be fact or fiction, the result of an intervening spirit or simply hallucination. To Miles, it's all too real. It's his view that drives the movie...
