Reviews for Wendigo
The climax slips a bit, but Wendigo is still a creepy winner.
02/15/02
The woods haven't been this creepy since The Blair Witch Project.
03/28/02
Top CriticFor those in search of something different, Wendigo is a genuinely bone-chilling tale.
02/14/02
Top CriticDirector Fessenden's inventive camerawork, staccato editing, and creative use of sound make Wendigo a creepy, entertaining ride.
02/19/02
It is nature against progress. In Fessenden's horror trilogy, this theme has proved important to him and is especially so in the finale.
07/01/02
Fessenden's narrative is just as much about the ownership and redefinition of myth as it is about a domestic unit finding their way to joy.
12/21/01
[Fessenden] weaves a creepy spell by crafting a kaleidoscope of puppetry, sounds and cinema legerdemain.
01/29/02
A dizzying digital video oddyssey through the snowy woods of upstate New York.
04/19/02
A mostly intelligent, engrossing and psychologically resonant suspenser.
03/19/02
It's a pretty good little thriller.
03/01/02
A finely tuned mood piece, a model of menacing atmosphere.
12/16/02
The engagingly primitive animated special effects contribute to a mood that's sustained through the surprisingly somber conclusion.
02/12/02
Top CriticSits uneasily as a horror picture ... but finds surprising depth in its look at the binds of a small family.
02/07/02
Fessenden ... sets a chilling tone of anticipation that keeps you inching forward, a scene at a time, until you're on the edge of your seat.
03/28/02
It's a horror movie that knows how to be scary, but not at the expense of fascinating characters.
06/10/02
A mirror of our psyche, the place we're otherwise too afraid to go.
12/22/01
[Fessenden] is much more into ambiguity and creating mood than he is for on screen thrills
02/13/03
A beautiful and haunting examination of the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of the mundane horrors of the world.
02/14/02
An intelligent, truly creepy take on a Native American myth from New York City-based filmmaker Larry Fessenden.
