Searching for the Wendigo

About This Movie

Searching for the Wendigo is a fascinating peek behind the curtain of Fessenden’s 2001 feature. It’s a short documentary that really captures the eerie atmosphere that the film is known for. You’ll find intriguing explorations of the Wendigo myth, blending folklore with the film’s narrative. The pacing is contemplative, almost meditative, which pulls you into that unsettling feeling. It gives you a sense of the practical effects used, which I always appreciate in indie horror. The tone feels personal, reflecting Fessenden’s own connection to the material. While it’s not as fleshed out as a full feature, you can see where the heart of the story lies, and it’s a nice little supplement for fans of the film.
