The Windigo

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.

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.

"Windingo" captivates with a seamless blend of suspense and mystery, immersing in its atmospheric world. Marco Fuller's exceptional dual role and Troy James' mesmerizing portrayal of the Wendigo elevate this cinematic gem. Under Gabe Torres' skillful direction, it's a thrilling rollercoaster ride worth savoring, complemented by stunning cinematography. While character depth can go deeper, the film's brevity and exhilarating narrative make it a unique and captivating cinematic delight. A testament to creativity and commitment, "Windingo" challenges and entertains... Chillingly stylish horror; a visual gem of spine-tingling suspense.

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.

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.
