Wendigo is a 2001 American independent psychological horror film written and directed by actor/director/writer Larry Fessenden (The Last Winter, Until Dawn), starring Patricia Clarkson and Jake Weber. The film centers around George (Jake Weber), a photographer, and his family who, during a wintery weekend in upstate New York, experience the presence of a dark force in a cabin while being stalked by a local hunter after they accidentally hit a deer on the road. Meanwhile, George's son, Miles, starts having vivid hallucinations of the legendary Wendigo, who he believes to be responsible for the dark forces.
The film was produced by Antidote Films and Glass Eye Pix, and was distributed by Magnolia Pictures. It was released to theatres on January 23, 2001, for a limited time, and received mixed reviews by critics. The film was not a major box office attraction and bombed as it scored $1,107 on opening weekend.
