The Legend of The Wendigo - Western Horror Short Film 2019

The local town becomes fearful of one legendary monster, who has disrupted their way of life.
This was a low budget horror short filmed in Washington state for the Bleedingham Film Festival in 2019.

[@alnu8355]

That was fun! There are simply not enough horror westerns. Weird Western is a great sub genre. Well done!

Never mess with a wrath filled Mother's soul grieving over her child's murder.

That man who plays the sheriff is just beautiful, he must be half native american, half african american. Fantastic short! Absolutely loved the setting!

[@hunterreese8716]

I didn’t think Indians were sheriffs in western days

[@jennifershano1957]

Great movie. I loved The Wendigo. Wish it was longer.

[@JVreemer]

The effects were awesome. That creature is as scary as it gets.

[@BettyAnne2402]

This was stunning! I LOVED the practical effects for the wendigo, so cool! And I loved the natural elk noises mixed with more unnatural roars. You guys did so well with a low budget. Simply amazing!

[@Snowblindproduction]

Thank you so much! This project was a huge time commitment, lots of fun, but also caused a lot of mental fatigue lol. we are glad that you enjoyed it!

[@BettyAnne2402]

@@Snowblindproduction You're most welcome! I love the wendigo legend and am planning my own short film, very low budget as medical bills have set me back. But this short film has inspired me a lot, thank you very much for that! Can't wait to see what you put out next! May I suggest the skin walker legend, another creepy native american legend 😉

[@ervinanolan9651]

Great job

[@MaskedRiderChris]

I know! Was that thing scary or what? I agree, a proper Skinwalker movie based in the actual lore would be awesome.

[@bartjeppesen2782]

Western horror nice I always want to see how westerns encounter legendary monsters like Sasquatch, the Jersey Devil, Mothman, Goatman, Thunderbird, and a Skinwalker

[@francismcknight9750]

So much effort so little appreciation The wending o has always been my favorite monster and seeing stories on it just brightens my day

[@todhamilton5055]

Not one of the video/film versions captures the true creepiness and horror of the written story you need to read it for sure if you haven’t already.

[@myrnaskogland1268]

Well done. The legend comes from a time of famine where all the animals died and the Peoples resorted to eating each other to survive and the Wendigo Evil was created and stalked the land. That is what I have read.

[@Zotsyummy]

nothing has more power then a loving mother ALSO DAMMMMMN THAT WENDIGO RECONCEPTION IS FINEEE and i like how they actually did researching a wendigos weakness is fire

[@billrea66]

I like happy endings ... No matter how morbid.

[@barrygrant2907]

First saw The Wendigo on the old TV B&W show, Great Ghost Tales back in the late /50s-early '60s. Other than it scared the crap out of this kid, all I remember is a group of men around a campfire as one tells of his encounter with the Wendigo.

[@sassbrat]

One of the only creatures that scare the daylights out of me for some reason.

[@digilegs]

We have been patiently awaiting the release of this, we are a bit late in checking back in to see if uploaded but glad we did. What an immersive short! Superb acting from the cast and the practical effects were wonderfully gruesome. Also loved the Wendigo sound effects- spot on. We hope the Digilegs added to your wendigo character as you imagined! Great work chaps!

[@donovanm.4389]

What a god damn good short film well done everyone!!

[@solomonalber]

The perfect film for Halloween!

[@niels25chr1]

Nice mix of genres and I like how you made the wendigo.

[@greendude7650]

Amazing job man thank you for following what the myth of the Wendigo looks like and the Legend behind them you are a competent directior then most of the garbage we get from Hollywood these last few years not saying we're not getting any good movies just a few gems but this is a classic diamond in the rough. Thanks for following your heart in this film not many of those around.

[@finalgirl640]

Bravo! This is phenomenal in every way! I cannot believe it took so long to show up in my recommended. Western Horror is rare and highly underrated. I loved the way thr wendigo looked too. Great work!

[@Snowblindproduction]

Thank you! We greatly appreciate your support and are so happy you enjoyed our film.

[@adamdaichendt3838]

Love this short film. I have a deep set interest in the wendigo legend and this definitely does it for me well done👍

[@MaskedRiderChris]

This was way better than the one shorter movie I watched earlier that was half as long and had no coherent story line and made no sense in the end. This had drama, an emotional hook with the boy being kidnapped, solid acting, and that Wendigo was *scary* when the big reveal came. The booming footsteps, elk noises, and suspense added a lot to it, and I liked how it was a humanoid wearing a deer (elk?) skull as opposed to just a deer skull--it added an extra element of horror to the creature to see it with an actual human like face. Well done, y'all!

[@Snowblindproduction]

Thank you so much! We loved every step of making this movie and Kris Carol knocked the special effects out of the park!! Fun fact: the wendigo monster was over 10ft tall in real life, the actor was on a pair of special stilts that bend like animal legs. We appreciate your comment, have a great day!

[@MaskedRiderChris]

@@Snowblindproduction Wow, was he, now? That is so cool! This 80's kid loves him some practical effects, for sure.

This was great! Enjoy all of your films. What camera did you use? I have always been interested in filmmaking but I can't decide what camera to start with. Do you have any recommendations? I am can't decide between a DSLR or a mirrorless. Thanks for any help you can give me. Would love to find something less than $1000 if possible (maybe less than $700). Thanks again and keep up the good work.

How did you guys do the fake intestines? I'm trying to make some for my own films but can't find too many good sources

[@Snowblindproduction]

Hey there! Thanks for watching! In this film our special effects person used pantyhose stuffed with various scraps of fabric (most likely other pantyhose) and soaked in fake blood. There are several fake blood recipes you can use but you can never go wrong with the store bought stuff. It’s surprisingly convincing especially on camera.

[@rickyreed4275]

Great film guys and gals. There's only one question I have to ask.? Doesn't the legend of the Wendigo say that whoever kills the Wendigo becomes the Wendigo?

[@Snowblindproduction]

Hmmmm sequel??

[@luiscavalcanti3431]

Western and horror is the most flawless chemistry ever.... no doubt In my mind... The horror is pretty insane, clothing, scenario and whatnot... A great effort and amount of time has gone into this job.... . However the only thing that bothers me a great deal is as for the performances. They were unable to hold a candle to the rest, or rather, to the great production. The actings - practically all- leave a lot to be desired. Just saying I’ve subscribed anyways

The acting is a little wooden at the start with the mother howling in anguish whilst the father looks like he's just been told his favourite shovel is missing and not his first born.

[@nettg.1418]

I was like how they going to track down a creature wendigo with barley no fire power takes it down. the women have a shotgun with gas take it out. am like this how you do it. all those man's just die only her husband and her survive. when you are hunting some in the wood be prepared to shoot it like it war time..

If that’s the thing you payed attention to, you probably want to reevaluate your life bud. Last I checked there aren’t wendigos snatching kids from barns in the 1800s either. Maybe eat a snickers bar and cool off.

[@Snowblindproduction]

Also, look up Bass Reeves who was a US Marshall in the late 1800s. Don’t be so ignorant my friend.

[@Snowblindproduction]

@neindanke3916 the point I was making was that this is a fictional movie, and to be worried about the sheriff being Black is comical.
