Demon Wendigo on the lose
9 February 2024
This was a moody and atmospheric period survivalist, creature feature with folk horror and feminist undertones.

It was certainly thrilling and kept you on the edge of your seat, but also had a pretty slow moving pace to it. The aesthetics and shots here were pretty next level. Everything looked extraordinary and really was a pleasure to visually take in. The acting was also excellent. There's no way this was an easy movie to film with the conditions and speaking a made up language and I thought the whole cast did great.

I wish there was just one more added layer to the story. It felt like it fell just a tad short and the pay off wasn't exactly what I wanted it to be. They also relied quite heavily on jump scares which are not my favorite.

Regardless, it was still an entertaining story with multiple levels and emotions to it while being a visual feast. Would recommend.
