This film is mediocre, but it is creepy. The story is stupid and weird. The acting is decent and enjoyable. The direction is mediocre. The visuals are only okay. This film isn't exciting or scary, it's just creepy. Don't expect too... Full review

According to Wendigo , nature loves the members of the upper class almost as much as they love themselves.
Like nature, or, rather, the films construct of nature, the wendigo has a slightly confusing but consistent code of conduct: it consumes, but only with just cause.

However short Wendigo may be on bloodworks, director Larry Fessenden is an expert mood-setter.
In one special-effects sequence, Fessenden literally freezes the film's deer-loving Catskills natives in time, evoking bloody fairy-tale characters trapped inside a snow globe.
