if you want to know the real story of the wendigo and i suggest you pick up a copy of algernon blackwell original story . this movie be not only bad but have nothing to do with the book . i love the book when i read it a a kid ( in campfire chiller by e. m. freeman ) and be so excited to see a movie base on it come out . i be so disappointed when i finally saw it . another thing be that there be too many pc ( politically correct ) undertone throughout the movie that have no place in the film . when the book be write pc do not even exist . my suggestion be do not waste your time or money . if you see it on the video store shelf leave it there .
