THE WENDIGO / PLOT: In the far Canadian north two moose hunters break off from their group and head out to find their game. One of them is a French Canadian acting as guide who begins to feel there is something in the woods that might be hunting them; is it the legendary Wendigo, a native mythical creature of immense strength that has cannabalistic traits?
REVIEW: A well-written tale that evokes the desolation and vastness of the North Woods. Told mainly from the viewpoint of the Scottish hunter, it depicts how helpless the hunters are in the face of nature. My one gripe was being asked to believe these two would canoe and walk 20 miles away from their companions to hunt, and how they thought they would carry a moose carcass back with them if they were successful.
