Poor Communication Kills | |
| Antlers / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: The deaths or near deaths of Ellen and Paul can be directly and indirectly attributed to Julia. For the former, Julia somehow forgets to warn her that she heard very disturbing noises from inside the house when visiting the Weavers' house the first time. For the latter, Julia is so bad with time management that she could not be bothered to spend a second to grab the handset phone from which Paul was calling. She also doesn't have the obvious foresight to call him to warn him that the Wendigo had just at the very least gravely injured Dan and therefore that he should take extreme caution or call for backup if he is to arrive onto the scene. | |

Papa Wolf | |
| Antlers / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: Frank, after being possessed by the Wendigo, still cares enough about his sons that he willingly barricades himself so that he won't hurt them. Even after fully transforming, he maintains enough of his old personality to not hurt them, seeking alternative sources of meat and attacking people he sees as threats to them, such as Lucas' bully Clint. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Antlers / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Less sweet, more bitter. Julia manages to save Lucas, killing the Wendigo who was once Lucas' father in the process. However, Julia is shortly after forced to kill Aiden as well when he starts undergoing the process that would have eventually transformed him into another Wendigo, and after Julia and Lucas reunite with Paul as the film ends, Paul notices blood on his hand after a coughing fit, strongly implying that after barely surviving his encounter with Frank, he himself will soon become a Wendigo like him. It's actually more of a Downer Ending because Lucas shows signs of being infected too. The last dialogue between Paul and Julia implies they both already know this. | |

Would Hurt a Child: As detailed under Asshole Victim, one of the Wendigo's victims is Clint, who is at least in his early teens, judging by his appearance. Tragically enforced by Julia, who kills the 7-year old Aiden as he slowly undergoes the painful process of turning into a Wendigo himself. | |

Body Horror | |
| Antlers / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: The transformation from person to Wendigo is not pleasant to behold. First the body twists and contorts, with the hair falling out, and the body glowing as if burning from the inside, until eventually the full Wendigo form bursts out of the victim's body through the mouth, leaving a burnt-out husk behind. For Frank Weaver, the final form has his human face still hanging off his new one, at least until he peels it off while fighting Julia in the mine. | |

Gaia's Vengeance: Metaphorically, at least. The Wendigo is a being of pure destruction and endless hunger, with elements that resemble burning coal and crude oil. The film's setting is a dying mining town, where its desperate and hungry people are hoping to see the mines revitalized through new (more destructive) mining practices. | |

Shapeshifting Sound: When Frank's transformation into a Wendigo reaches completion, there's a very audible sound of snapping bones as his final form slowly begins to emerge from his body, starting through his own mouth. In the finale, Frank's youngest son Aiden also begins the process of transforming into a Wendigo, and it's accompanied by the exact same sound of snapping bones. | |

Evil Is Burning Hot | |
| Antlers / int_b12007fd | comment |
Evil Is Burning Hot: In a departure from more traditional depictions, where the Wendigo is associated more with ice and the cold, it instead has a burning motif surrounding it. Its presence is often preceded by embers and sparks floating through the air, and it has an internal glow that resembles a fire. When Julia rips out its heart, it's portrayed as literally burning hot, so much so that it burns her hands when she holds it. | |

Horror Hunger | |
| Antlers / int_cf7b362 | comment |
Horror Hunger: As is to be expected, Frank, after being possessed by the Wendigo, gets progressively hungrier, becoming more animalistic in the process, to the point where he viciously tears into any meat Lucas brings him. According to Warren, the more the Wendigo eats, the hungrier it becomes, until eventually it will eat so much its hunger will leave it weak and vulnerable. | |

Monster Is a Mommy | |
| Antlers / int_dbbaed55 | comment |
Monster Is a Mommy: The creature was once Frank Weaver, and seems to remain attached to his children even as his humanity is completely lost. This creates a Papa Wolf versus Mama Bear scenario, since Julia and the Wendigo are both fighting to claim Lucas. | |

Mercy Kill | |
| Antlers / int_f3626b09 | comment |
Mercy Kill: What Julia does to Aiden. It is horrifying to imagine murdering a child, but having seen the true horrors of Frank's final transformation, in a way, she showed mercy by preventing him from suffering the same fate. | |

Creepy Child | |
| Antlers / int_f3d5d15f | comment |
Creepy Child: Lucas and Aiden Weaver are both quite eerie, pale and gaunt from long-term neglect and malnourishment. While Lucas is forced to kill small animals and gather roadkill to feed his family, Aiden becomes more feral and inhuman as his infection progresses. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| Antlers / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The Wendigo is overall extremely accurate to the original legends, starting out as an emaciated corpse with bones visible just under the skin, which is an almost transparent white. Even after it reaches its final form, its long claws, exposed heart, and drapings of skin and bone have all appeared in traditional Wendigo lore. Really, the only distinctly modern touches are the antlers and the fact that the heart is made of fire instead of ice. Plus the creature doesn't seem to have any eyes on its face. | |
