Summary: My Biggest waste of money
Review: Well the only good thing to say about this film is that I saved three dollars off the purchase price. I had read the back cover of the dvd case several times before I bought the movie. It indeed looked like a movie that perhaps would be scary and dark. It was anything but. It is obvious that more money was spent casting the film then than writing, making, and producing. I am sorely dissapointed that ARTISAN even picked it up. The opening scenes make the movie look as if it could be entertaing. The first sixty minutes are buildng the story line and characters. The only problem that the movie does little else afterward. In the last twenty minutes you introduced to everything that you bought the movie for. This includes the actual Wendigo, the climax, and the end (if that is what it can be called.) And to be completely sarcastic, the Wendigo is the scariest creature I have ever seen. Thank the lord this monster only occupies the screen for two minutes. Any longer and you might recognize the man wearing the suit...

Summary: Good movie
Review: Minuses for hokey effects - would have been better off without showing any effects if you can't make them realistic.Otherwise a solid horror movie. Good acting. Some camera effects were effective.

Summary: very uneventful
Review: I really went in wanting to like this movie. I read all the good stuff about it, so I figured it couldn't be that bad. First of, I am a huge horror movie buff. And also I'm not that picky, so I tend to see the good in almost anything. But in the case of this movie, you should really listen to all the reviewers that said it was boring and not to bother. I don't think I've ever seen a more uneventful movie in my life. There is no suspense hardly, it's just like watching a faimly hang out in a cabin and being afraid of the strange hunters down the street that don't do anything very threatening. The acting is the only thing that made this movie barable. And yes the monster is stupid looking and unesassary. They could have gotten rid of him all together and just made this movie about the scary things the boys sees and hears in his head and made this movie better. But the deer monster is a joke. Stay away from this movie don't waste your 90 minutes. Watch Black christmas, or the legend of hell house if you want to see a scary movie.

Summary: Be afraid. Be very afraid......
Review: of mistaking this "B" Grade horror film for and art house independent flick. This has all the components. From the man in the rubber monster suit to the obligitory sex scene with a half-second flash of breast to the grainy film quality. The only reason why I give this two stars instead of one is that the acting was not as bad as some and the twist at the end was moderately original.

Summary: Wendi-d that 90 minutes-go?
Review: Big fan of atmosphere. The type of things that come to mind when looking for spooky, tangable tension in film could be; being chased by Jack Nicolson with axe in hand through a wintery maze or exploring the haunted interior of a large abandoned insane asylum via sweeping, drawn out camera pans accompanied by erie music. What 'Wendigo' gives the viewer is a truckload of atmosphere, but little else. The movie starts off in the right vein. The first 30 minutes are pretty good and I was thinking this could be a great horror flick. The rest was junk, and it keeps getting worse until the end of the movie when you don't know what just happened and why and what exactly was the point. Director Larry Fessenden Knows how to create a mood but doesn't know where to take it, leaving the plot flat and the characters boring. This is the type of film that might have benefitted from either some good CGI or leaving it up to the viewer's imagination as far as the title creature's appearence in the last ten minutes.... All and all a bit above most so-called horror films lurking out there, but just a bit.

Summary: Low budget shows!!
Review: This movie was badly in need of more cash flow. It really came off as a "B" movie. I didn't like the ending. I didn't give a darn about the sex scene, it was fish cold. Weird little movie, but I did like the Wendigo! That's about all I liked. Didn't like the kid at all; didn't like the whiney spoiled psychologist wife; and didn't like the father much but more than the rest of his boring family.

Summary: I wish Amazon allowed for ZERO STARS !...
Review: I have a suspicion this was never seriously intended to be a real movie, but instead was an experiment by Artisan to see just how far it is possible to go putting garbage on videotape/DVD and seeing if people will rent/buy it. The cinema work and camera work was good. Patricia Clarkson is a wasted acting talent in this movie. I am sorry to see her feel it neccessary to do a movie like this ....
She is better than this. What is wrong with this movie ?
STORY......
There is none of any consequence or that you really care about..P>Remember the "Jack-alope" from the old America's Funniest Videos TV show ?
That is your "monster" in this movie.
Think of the old 50's B-movies monsters and there you go.
The human-dear man strikes !!!!!
You might be afraid if you have a heart condition.... afraid you may laugh so hard that you have a heart attack. Why does he exist?
Where does he come from ?
What motivates him ?
How does it tie in to the kids' psyche ?
The story really covers nothing except to show how inept pure city people are at functioning in the primitive wilderness.... In a summary......
Pass on this movie ...

Summary: A waste of time
Review: I was anticipating this DVd for a while, because the movie was not released in my area in theaters. What I got when I watched it was not what was expected. I thought it would be a good horror movie with an original storyline (I like native American mythology), but instead, I determined I can only rate it the minimum rating, for several reasons: 1. it took too long to set up the story. The first hour could have been reduced to about 30 minutes. It was boring and uneventful. 2. the creature effects was little better than something you might see on the old Dark Shadows TV series. Usually it was just a tree branch being held in front of a moving camera (the creature is an elemental creature who takes the form of a tree for many of its appearances, which ara few). 3. the liner notes on the DVD jacket describes it as a "flesh-eating" monster, but all it does in the entire movie is push a guy in front of a truck, and that is only within the last few minutes of the movie. It also describes it as being an evil thing, but in the movie it is a neutral entity. Actually, iy is more good than bad, since it is taking it's so-called terror "spree" (it only attacks one person - the one mit pushes in front of the truck) out on a deserving person. All in all, it was a waste of time and money, and not "as advertised" by the distribution company. Buy Dog Soldiers instead, if you want something new and fresh.
