"Wendigo" by Paul Kener is easily among the most obscure horror movies I have ever seen.That doesn't mean that everyone is entitled to search for this cheap and deadly dull piece of horse dung.A group of hunters and photographers reaches the secluded area of Canada.Soon they discover that they are camping near an ancient Indian burial site.According to some legend a magnificent treasure is hidden there guarded by a mighty spirit of the wind Wendigo.I have seen Paul Kener's mind-numbingly bad survival/slasher flick "Savage Water" and "Wendigo" is equally as amateurish.The lighting during the night scenes is terrible-virtually nothing is seen,the acting is diabolical and the action is utterly lifeless and boring.Watch this in pair with "Savage Water" and prepare to die out of sheer boredom.

At this time of writing,there was only one review of this film here,now,I always like to see a few reviews to get a good balance.Therefore I thought I would add another one as the lone reviewer could be wrong in his opinion of the movie.

I have to tell you,they were not...it is an awful film.A horror film can be good,bad,silly,stupid but it should never be dull and boring.Some of the worst horror films are still watchable for their sheer badness and stupidity but dull films are just tedious. This film is one of those.Poor acting from the cast,it should come as no surprise that most of them never appeared in any other films.A muddled story which didn't make much sense,mind numbing direction,at times it seemed to be more a 'how to go camping' training video.

The only faintly entertaining part is the French Canadian guide who has taken accent lessons from Inspector Clouseau.Like the inspector,who says 'reum' for room,the guide pronounces moose as 'moouse.' But even this gets tedious after a time.

One definitely to miss and as with a ultra low budget film like this,we never actually get to see the wendigo.
