Wendigo
Some myths are real.
Directed by Larry Fessenden
Produced by Glass Eye Pix
A slow-burn folk horror film that uses Native American mythology and winter isolation to explore guilt, family fracture, and the supernatural consequences of transgression.
A family from the city decide to spend a weekend away at a friend's country farmhouse. But a fluke accident sets off a chain of events that alters their lives forever and conjures up the ferocious spirit of the Wendigo.
