After having
been lost in the mountains for quite some
time, a man returns to his family thinner than ever
before and with a bad case of frostbite. At first
they're all relieved that he's back but what they
don't know is that something evil is lurking inside
of him, waiting to get out...
And what evil could that be? Well considering that this
was directed by Larry Fessenden I think that you should
all know the answer to that question by now. That's
right people, it's another Fessenden horror flick about
the Wendigo. We suffered through Wendigo on DVD, we
were mildly entertained by The Last Winter in cinemas
and now the wendigo has found itself to our TV-screens
as well. When will this madness stop? Has this man got
no more ideas up his sleeve? Did he really need to drag
this show down once again after it just started to show
some promise? Ugh whatever.
This time we don't get to actually see the wendigo’s (or
the glowing-rave-elks-of-doom as I like to call them),
we just get to see a man who's apparently possessed by
a wendigo go around and kill people. Is it just me or
do these wendigo's get new superpowers in each and
everyone of Fessenden's films? Anyhoo, so the man who's
possessed by the wendigo's family have to run for their
lives as he's extremely hungry. What a joke. It's like
a bad hallmark drama gone horror. The acting is poor,
the directing is... well... you all know how I feel
towards Fessenden as a director by now, and the story
is so poorly conceived that I'm positive that it didn't
take many days to write it.
Skin & Bones is another lame addition to the Fear Itself
show and I can't believe that NBC actually let Larry
direct an episode for this show since he hasn't shot
a single big movie respected by the horror community
so far. I can't be bothered to write much more since
this review is all ready much more clever than the
script for the film itself. Had they spent more time
on it, it would have sucked anyway so I guess thank god
that they didn't spend much time on it so let's do
the same and skip this one all together.
Not much.
Meh.
Bah. Dreadful movie. Yes, even worse than Wendigo and
that movie was a drag if anything. Skip this episode
people just like you should with most episodes from
Fear Itself. What a waste.
