Ok Take on Old Myth

I didn't see any of the trailers prior to seeing this movie but I initially started watching it because I was familiar with the legend of the Windigo. The movie started out as one son's wish to protect his family but quickly turned into a power trip gone wrong after calling a supernatural entity. I was hoping for more of a supernatural horror movie, similar to The Conjuring or The Watchers, but was unfortunately disappointed. While I realize that this may be a low budget movie but I wasn't happy with the acting, which appear to be stilted in places, and the Windigo's outfit appeared to be made out of latex and didn't appear realistic.

Someone owes me $5.99

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.

Very simple story, but done very well. The acting/writing were definitely above average. Not bad at all, just a tad predictable...

To me, I think several of the reviews here are quite harsh. I mean ratings of 1 or 2... C'mon, compared to the usual poorly made drivel we wade through in low budget Horror these days. Totally unjustified. Don't go by those.It's no masterpiece by any means, but like I said in my title above, I really did like the acting and felt along with the writing the characters and dialog came across as believable and realistic.It's just that the story itself was pretty basic and you could tell just about what was going to happen. To me though, I really liked the characters and the way they interacted, which for me personally is almost ALWAYS the thing that lets these kind of movies down in a big way. So, that was really refreshing to see it well written and acted.I really liked the character of the Grandmother. So many times a character like that, an old Native American woman, can so easily come across as overdone or very cliched, speaking in superficial cryptic phrases. But, quite honestly I totally liked the older woman's character and they way she came across, she was really good.So yeah, no big deal here with this film, except the definite above average acting/writing. The story is passable, but with the well done cinematography and direction, not to mention the good looking local, not a bad little movie to pass the time.I gave it a solid '6'... Please don't pay any attention to these Numbnuts giving the moderately entertaining movie a completely unjustified 1 or 2, certainly not compared to the wealth of truly poor done and quickly cranked out crap that is considered Horror these days.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MY PARTICULAR WAY OF RATING:5 - Flawed, but with some entertainment value.6. A decently passable story maybe worth a watch.7. A solid film, well made, effective, and entertaining.And, obviously, you can probably figure out what above and below these would mean... : )
