It was okay...but...

We thought this movie was pretty good. Two cool dude buddies having a "bachelor party" 3-day hike in the snowy Anirondacks, with interference from a ghastly creature. If you watch it, you need to pay attention because of all the flash backs. We gave it only 6 stars because we were totally engaged until the final scene which was incredibly disappointing. We enjoyed the acting and the story a lot.

A nice little slow burner...

Looks great, sounds great. Just when you think it's going nowhere - Boom! Plot twist after plot twist after plot twist pull you right back in!

Admittedly, it gets a bit confusing in the final act, as the movie jumps back and forth between multiple timelines.

One massive flaw- the 'Wendigo(s)' look ridiculous and basically move around like 'men in costumes'. Other than that, a solid movie!

Not as Bad as Other Reviews Say

Sure, this movie tries to have an artsy, plot-twisty feel. But the two realities that are presented in the movie are easy enough to understand and I thought it was interesting to see both sides of it. It certainly held my attention, and given most movies these days I give it a big plus for that reason alone! The creature designs were interesting enough (albeit low budget, but that isn't always terrible!) I think this movie would even be worth a rewatch, but I don't think it's my new favorite by any means. 5.5(teetering on 6)/10

Meh...

It's not bad, however, the story jumps around way too much, almost making it tough to know what's going on. I'd say this is more of a thriller and not horror. The cinematography is great, but it's unfortunate that they used some kind of orange and teal filter. Everyone's skin appears orange.

Good, if you know the legend behind it

I enjoyed this movie, but it's because I already knew quite a bit about the wendigo urban legend and knew what to expect. If you have no idea about the legend then I'm afraid you'll probably find this to be a confusing mess, or at the worst, boring. I guess people might go into this thinking it's a monster movie but it's actually a slow psychological horror with themes of madness. It works as a good homage to the wendigo legend but I have rated down because the legend isn't well enough explained for newcomers. I thought it was a pretty neat serious psychological horror though.

Anecdotes
Popular culture frequently depicts the Wendigo as a demon/spirit with antlers occasionally portrayed as a human cursed or possessed as a result from cannibalism, it represents an evil embodiment of greed, gluttony and unchecked exploitation of natural resources, serving as a cautionary tale to avoid such behavior. Traditionally the Windego (minus the antlers/horns) was described as a very gaunt, near emaciated human/human form with insatiable hunger, in some stories it grows in proportion to what it consumes to many times the size of humans and thus is always ravenous. Other commin attributes are an overwhelming stench of death, an aura of chilling cold, an ice heart, and tattered or shredded lips/flesh
