Review of Wendigo (2002) by Nathan N — 18 Dec 2008
In a word - terrible.
The setting was bleak, the script was bleak, the cinematography was bleak, the plot was bleak, the budget was low (not that all low budget movies are bad, but this one had no redeeming features).
The plot was more consumed with a vengeful, slightly deranged hunter than movie's namesake "Wendigo" which made a very brief disappointing appearance toward the end of the movie.
Everything about the movie was uninspiring - it was a real effort to watch.
The parents of the little boy appeared to be rather aloof and at times seemed completely detached from their son. Whether this was down to bad acting or a bad script I'm not sure, but it only heightened my disappointment and boredom levels.
There was no food for thought, nothing to pique an interest. With no real intrigue or chill factor, this movie creaked along so painfully, you just couldn't care less what happened by the end.
I don't think I could waste my time ever watching this again.
