The lead sucks so fucking bad that anything the movie could possibly have done well is immediately undone by his piss poor acting. I mean, the script also sucks and the Windigo looks ridiculous, but I can overlook a certain level of terrible in a low budget movie. It's an interesting take on the folklore, but unfortunately they made the Windigo into a pretty generic monster. At it's best, the movie is hilariously bad, like when the guy bitches about how dark it is upstairs, saying that he can't see anything because there are no lights upstairs. His mom gives him an old oil lantern and we cut to him upstairs in his new bedroom and see that it's daytime and his entire fucking room is light up with sunshine. What do you mean you can't see? It looks like the sun is shining directly through the window; the whole place is lit up. The so bad, it's good moments are far and few between; mostly, it's just regular bad and incredibly disappointing.
