The Windigo

This is one of the worst films I've seen in recent history. It was so bad, I got up and left. I almost made it to the end of the driveway before I realized I was watching it at home. Was I supposed to be scared, because if I was, I missed it. Oh sure, it had its prerequisite number of jump scares to qualify as a horror movie, but most were overused tropes and predictable. And, speaking of predictable, I predicted the movie's ending less than half way through, and the only reason I watched it to the end, was to see if I was right. I was. With regards to the acting, the male lead's acting was so bad, I actually burst out laughing several times. I wasted about an hour and a half of my life watching this movie.

Where in the world did these pleasant reviews of this rubbish come from?! I rely heavily on IMDB reviews to assist in checking obscure films out before take the plunge-especially movies I have to rent. The glowing reviews of this made it a no brainer.

This is one of the worst piles of trash I've ever seen. I couldn't even finish this drivel. The acting is cartoonish. The writing is abysmal. The only pass from me is maybe everyone involved with this was the backup to the backup writers while Hollywood was on strike.

This is money and time I will never get back. This movie was so bad I turned it off and immediately went to bed.

"Windingo" captivates with a seamless blend of suspense and mystery, immersing in its atmospheric world. Marco Fuller's exceptional dual role and Troy James' mesmerizing portrayal of the Wendigo elevate this cinematic gem. Under Gabe Torres' skillful direction, it's a thrilling rollercoaster ride worth savoring, complemented by stunning cinematography. While character depth can go deeper, the film's brevity and exhilarating narrative make it a unique and captivating cinematic delight. A testament to creativity and commitment, "Windingo" challenges and entertains... Chillingly stylish horror; a visual gem of spine-tingling suspense.

I was pleasantly surprised that each actor in this film was able to clearly hold their own through the duration of the film and not one performance ever slipped or fell short. Gabe Torres creates a visually stirring and engaging cautionary tale about the lure and danger of unchecked power. The script was a touch lackluster and the characters were a touch one dimensional. My only real is that if a character is a brown belt in BJJ, they better have the moves to back that claim. All in all, a great watch, one that I will recommend to others. Big props to the actor responsible for the Windigo performance, it was incredible.

An exhibition into how far we will go before we realize we're being played. This creature feature speaks through 90's aesthetics, horrible dialogue, and the worst acting I've seen since the last found footage whatever to hit Netflix. The writer assumes you will just sit and take it, and we mistakenly did, thinking it MUST get better at some point (it does NOT). You may as well sit down and watch American Werewolf in London- a better film with better effects, and more updated. Do better. Do not waste your money to rent this. The acting of the main character is only insulted further by the most laughable physical effects ever seen on screen. The good reviews that led us to spend money renting this film are insulting and frankly should be banned. Disgusted. Please don't waste your money. Don't be fooled.
