Synopsis

A blue Volvo makes its way through the fading light this chilly winter evening in Upstate New York. Kim (Patricia Clarkson), George (Jake Weber), and their eight-year old son, Miles (Erik Per Sullivan), are city dwellers stealing a weekend away at a friend's country farmhouse.

A fluke accident sets off a chain of events that alters their lives forever and conjures up the ferocious spirit of the Wendigo, a Native American Myth made manifest in Miles' imagination.

The writer / director of WENDIGO, Larry Fessenden, has now released a trilogy of horror movies. The first one was NO TELLING (1991) followed by HABIT (1997).
