A creature-feature horror film that pits graduate students against legendary forest monsters in a dark, paranoia-soaked survival scenario.

Aiming to find the Bigfoot, a group of graduate students venture deep into an area of the Northeastern wilderness known for its strange creature sightings. Soon, they learn that there is a much more sinister evil lurking in the woods, the Wendigo, and once the spirit knows you’re there, they will come for you. Who will survive in a battle between the two most notorious monsters of the forest?
