While visually and audibly atmospheric,as well as some powerful opening scenes, "Wendigo" remains too ambiguous to be satisfying. The biggest failures come in the unexplained history of the menacing Otis as well as a poorly render "Wendigo." "Curse of the Demon" did a similar monster nearly 50 years ago and it is MUCH better than the "Wendigo." I give "Wendigo" a "4".

It's too bad, because the performances are uniformly good. Jake Weber and the actor playing Otis come across best.

If you ever saw an episode of "Touching Evil," you can appreciate how much better the photographic and audio effects are used here. Pity, the movie comes across as unfinished.
