i first learn of the wendigo many year ago in one of alvin schwartz scary story book represent accord to that story and the wendigo after call your name in the wind drag you along and and then pull you up into the sky and pulverize you . while it sound like a pretty bizarre notion and schwartz story turn it into a fairly coherent idea . the movie wendigo doesn not . it basically consist of every horror flick cliché represent family move to new house and strange thing start happen and anyone who harm them be ask for it and and everyone have well listen to the old indian guy . i have see this stuff so many time that i no longer bother to count . anyway and avoid it . patricia clarkson and erik per sullivan ( dewey on malcolm in the middle ) have do far good than this .
