boring and still to stupid to ever exist!
This movie is so boring, youre better off just watching a blank screen. Ive watched it 2 times, years apart and now just thinking about it makes me angry. If you want to know what happens...NOTHING
still to boring! 👎
To put it simply, this is one of Fessenden's greatest accomplishments and what got me into his work. A lifelong obsession with the phenomena of the wendigo gave Fessenden the depth and edge needed to create a visceral, emotional and meaningful supernatural story that is as atmospheric as it is heartbreaking. The actors are superb, the feeling of isolation and injustice add to the tension throughout. This is an indie masterpiece that is simply not as easily approachable as some would like to have it. Highly recommended for anyone with a passion for a mature and well executed low budget supernatural experience without the cheap tropes and jump scares so prevalent in the genre.
absolute borefest. would rate 0/5 if i was able to
