Wendigo Page #4

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.

And he had a pistol.

Did that threaten | your manhood?

Yeah, I guess it did, | Dr. McLaren.

Well, it's very | archetypical

for the civilized man

to feel threatened | by the man of the country.

That one guy, | he just seemed like--

how do you get through | to someone like that?

- George. | - Aaah.

- George? | - What?

We have ways of restoring | confidence in men with...

With emasculation problems?

Really? | Perhaps you should show me?

Exactly.

- Perhaps you could show me, doctor? | - Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

- This could take a while. | - Ooh, I hope so.

We'd like to start...

with a full checkup.

Hey, you.

Ho, ho, ho.

Wow, is this | to impress your clients?

No, my clients aren't | privy to this information.

Oh, really? 'cause I think | this one would cure them all.

Shhh.

- Is Miles in bed? | - He's fine.

Miles?

Are you there?

Mom?

I'm s cared.

Shh. | It's okay, honey.

Dad and I are right here.

Try to go back to sleep.

Anyway, Stefan's going | to stick to the prenup,

and he's not going | to budge.

He's got a right to be pissed. | She slept with his best friend,

who happens to be | his accountant too.

She's not going to ask for money, | she just wants out.

She's going to take him | for all he's worth.

You're sweet to be naive | on this one, but no.

All right, | maybe you're right.

It's pretty tacky.

If there's any justice, | she'll be hit by a bus.

Doesn't work that way, | George.

Here we go.

Outstanding.

Who wants to go into town | with me after breakfast?

- I do. | - Me, too.

I need curry if I'm | going to make that cass erole.

We must have curry.

Is very very important.

- Must have the curry. | - Dad.

I like the curry.

I cook the meanest curry | this side of Delhi.

Gotcha!

One,

two!

Think that guy | really pees in the reservoir?

Shush, George.

You're going to get Miles | all excited talking about pee pee.

We're going to go in this store, | you want to come?

No, I'm going to go | get the milk and curry.

What'd you say, | olive oil?

Something for Miles | to drink, too.

What should I get him?

Something he'd like, | George.

Okay, okay. | Cool it, baby.

Fruit juice or something.

All right. | I'll pull the car around.

- I'll meet you right here. | - Okay.

You like that?

It's okay, | you can talk to me.

- Mm-hmm. | - Do you know what it is?

Wendigo.

- Wendigo? | - Wendigo.

- What's a Wendigo? | - A Wendigo is a mighty,

powerful spirit.

What's it look like?

It can take on | many forms.

Part wind, part tree,

part man,

part beast.

Shapeshifting between them.

Shapeshifting?

Shapeshifting.

Can it fly?

It can fly at you like | a sudden storm, without warning,

from nowhere...

and de vour you--
