Wendigo (US Import 4K UHD/BLU-RAY Combo)
US Import
George (Jake Weber, Dawn of the Dead [2004]), his wife Kim (Patricia Clarkson, High Art and TV's Six Feet Under), and their son Miles (Erik Per Sullivan, TV’s Malcolm In the Middle) leave their home in Manhattan for a winter respite in Upstate New York, looking for some much-needed rest and relaxation. On their drive north, the family is involved in a sudden accident when George hits a deer that runs across an icy road, setting the stage for a snowbound supernatural showdown between them and the titular Wendigo, a grotesque legendary beast from Native American folklore.
Larry Fessenden’s long-awaited follow-up to his breakout feature, Habit (1995), WENDIGO is a distinctly American folk horror film shot entirely on location in New York's Catskills, on Super 16mm film by director of photography Terry Stacey (American Splendor). Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present Fessenden’s icy, DIY monster movie in a brand new director-approved 4K restoration of its original 16mm negatives.
