    Don't bother

    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.

    Pleading with combo writers/actors/directors

    I implore you and all in your trade who think they are multi faceted, to please pick a profession and stick with it.

    Please listen to me and all the other poor souls who have to sit through and watch the results of such multi roles in a film. Its sad.

    Writers should write.

    Actors should act.

    Directors should direct.

    PERIOD.

    When you try, and I wish I could bold the word try, to do all three or even two of those roles, the end result is a sad display of ego on film.

    The product suffers, your viewers suffer and the craft suffers.

    Do one thing and do it well, and when you try to do all three, the outcome is a reassurance of why one should only attempt one of those roles.

    I went in not expecting much and wasn't disappointed

    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.

    Another less then spectacular found footage film ... yeah?

    I am not even sure what I was supposed to be watching. Did this have a genre you were reaching for? ... a script? ... were you and your friends just winging it? So let's start with a lot of cussing, then show a bunch of people that have nothing better to do than watch your vlog (the scene setups for those shots were lacking ... something? ... alot?).

    Call me unimpressed. I hope your high school drama or theater teacher at least gave you a passing grade for the effort.

    You probably pushed the boundaries of the art concept of 'suspension of disbelief' by even suggesting the main role has premium subscribers.

    For the love of god, don't do this again.

    Don't Watch even if bored

    It started out ok and could have be decent and built the characters up a little, but needed more back stories. Once in the woods it could have been good, but then they just do anything to make it mysterious and confussing and plot changes. Characters change during the plot for no reason and the plot and story just do not make sense. They seem to take ideas from Blair Witch and many other found footage films. Along with a evil dead plot ideas, but not in a good way. In the end the movies is not really about the Wendigo. Could have used a stronger and solid story/writing before going to the shooting stages.
