Wendigo Page #2

Synopsis: George is a high-strung professional photographer who is starting to unravel from the stress of his work with a Manhattan advertising agency. Needing some time away from the city, Jake, his wife Kim, and their son Miles head to upstate New York to take in the winter sights, though the drive up is hardly relaxing for any of them. George accidentally hits and severely injures a deer that ran onto the icy road; after George stops to inspect the damage, he's confronted by an angry local named Otis who flies into a rage, telling George that he and his fellow hunters had been tracking the deer for some time. An argument breaks out, which leaves George feeling deeply shaken. When George and Kim arrive at their cabin, they discover that it's next door to Otis' property, and they soon find that a dark and intimidating presence seems to have taken over the cottage.

Dad?

Yeah?

Were you scared before?

Maybe I was more shook up than I | thought by that thing on the road.

That's better, right?

Hey, Miles, why don't you | go get the cards?

- Dad! | - Get them, we'll have a quick round.

All right. | So...

Pick a card, any card.

Ha! Da-dum-dum-dum. | Da-dum-dum-dum.

All right. | ''Together.''

Hmm. T-o...

g-e-t-h...

- I don't know. | - Come on, try.

Hmm, e-r?

Good, yeah, good. | Remember, it's basically ''To get her.''

See what I mean? | Let's see what's next.

It's ''Separate.'' | This is a tough one.

I can't even spell | this one Every time.

In fact, if you get this, | you'll be top of your class.

You'll rule. | You will rule.

Come on, try.

S-e...

- p... | - Uh-huh?

- H mm? | - Where are you going, buddy?

- a-r...? | - Yeah?

a-t-e.

Good for you. | Nice one. Well done.

All right-- Ooh-hoo-hoo.

Toughy, toughy.

''Onomatopoeia.''

- I don't think so. | - All right, all right, all right.

''L'chaim.''

- Dad! | - All right, all right, all right.

''Appetite, appetite.''

- ''Appetite.'' | - Come on, Dad. We did two.

Come on, try ''Appetite.'' | What's wrong with that?

- You can do that. | - Dad!

All right, all right. | Go on.

You're no fun.

Nice going, kiddo.

What if you're sitting | in your living room

and a bullet | flies through the window?

Who do you call?

I'm just so glad we don't | have Star anymore.

She looked just like a deer.

She wouldn't have lasted | 10 seconds out here.

- I miss Star. | - There's no TV.

You've got those | cool books there, Miles.

There are videos, | aren't there?

Nothing good.

Nothing you've heard of. | Let's build a fire.

Cool!

Richard said there'd be some wood | in the shed out back.

Miles,

- let's go get us some wood. | - Yeah!

Come on, bud.

Okay, help me | find some kindling.

Do you know how | to use an ax?

- Huh? | - Mm-hmm.

Okay, first you've got | to get it balanced.

Get it right there | in the hole.

Holy moly!

Careful, Miles!

I-yi-yi.

They let me use this road | to pass through.

Dad?

- Is that him? | - Shh, shh.

He didn't get to keep the deer.

Go to your mom.

So he just drove across?

Just drove right by.

I don't understand why Richard | would let anyone

drive across the property.

Maybe Richard, | or maybe Annie,

wanted to seem neighborly | so they let him.

I don't know.

I think Annie and Richard | never come up here.

That's why they're | so generous with their keys.

It was Annie's thing anyway.

I knew Richard's interest | would fade.

He needs to be | in the center of it all.

Who wants to retire | to the country when you're young?

It's called an inner life, | George.

Just 'cause you don't approve | of my inner life
