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.

Plot

George (Jake Weber) is a highly-strung professional photographer who is starting to unravel from the stress of his work at a Manhattan advertising agency. Needing some time away from the city, his wife Kim (Patricia Clarkson), and their 10-year-old son Miles (Erik Per Sullivan) head to Upstate New York to take in the winter sights, though the drive up is hardly relaxing for any of them.
