  • Starring: Jake Weber, Patricia Clarkson

  1. A smart and scary voyage into the uncanny realm where hard realities,mind-spinning myths, and hallucinatory visions blur.
  2. The film's best and scariest moments come when Miles is confronted with scenes that he translates into proof of the Wendigo's power.
  3. Stylistically lively and generally well acted. Thematically, however, it's somewhat incoherent.
  4. 25
    It all falls apart when the Wendigo unleashes its fury - no doubt upset at being neutered to look about as frightening as Bambi.
