Hello lovely beings
A few of BB's friends happened to be in a movie this spooky season, so we made our way on over to make the premier. Titled "The W*ndigo Heist", we could only imagine what we may be in store for.
"THE W*NDIGO HEIST tells the story of a group of people who decide to pull off a daring heist, using a hunting trip as their alibi. After successfully pulling off the heist, they return to the hunting cabin while they wait for the heat from the cops to die down. Soon, they begin getting killed off one by one by an apparent monster in the woods. Is it actually a supernatural monster, or is it an elaborate hoax from one of the gang members to keep all the loot for themselves?"
The director came out, said his piece, and it was time to roll the film. Now, I don't know the director, but had met a good bit of BB's friends that were on the cast.

I did not have much expectations going into this. All I had was the gummy we decided to take, and what I already know about W*ndigo lore....which was not what was used for this movie. To be fair, the director even said at the end that he didn't know much about the folklore and felt that he could use creative license to use his own version for his movie. Everybody's different 😅, because I sat in the theatre wondering why we're even mentioning the name lol.
The movie overall gave heavy early youtube movie vibes. Friends getting together to act out the screenplay one of their friends wrote. A handful of the actors did that long pause thing I can't stand. Makes it not feel anywhere near an organic conversation. I don't know if I'm biased, or if the acting held true, but I felt like BB's people presented their roles the best. As for the storyline, I still don't fully understand if someone was possessed, or if trauma was the cause of the killings.
