The Wendigo

About This Movie

The Wendigo (2022) dives into that eerie atmosphere you get when the woods feel alive, capturing the essence of a classic horror vibe. The pacing lingers just enough to build tension, making every rustle and shadow feel foreboding. It focuses on themes of friendship and the consequences of ignoring folklore—these friends should have listened to the locals. The performances have a rawness that really draw you in, especially as the fear escalates. What sets this apart is the practical effects; there's a gritty realism that CGI just can't match, and the creature design brings the Wendigo mythos to life in unsettling ways. It's a low-key gem for those who appreciate atmospheric horror with a hint of folklore.
