History Film / Maneater

''Maneater'' is a direct-to-video horror film from 2009. Funnily enough, the monster eats humans. The film stars Creator/DeanCain, Cristopher Darga and Saginaw Grant as a trio of policemen hunting down a mysterious killer in a small town next door to an Indian Reservation. Harry, our protagonist, is a former {{FBI agent}} who moves to get a break from the copious amounts of bloodletting and danger that comes with his job.

%%* OverprotectiveDad: Harry, to the extreme.

* {{Agent Mulder}}: Harry - Pretty much automatically decides it's not a bear. Its justified though as he's a former FBI profiler and quickly realises the crime scene is missing some tell-tale signs of a bear attack.
* {{Dark and Troubled Past}}: Harry was cheated on by his wife, leading him to believe that [[spoiler: he might be the Wendigo, as the creature can manifest itself after personal betrayal]].
* {{Death By Sex}}: Being as the Wendigo hunts down the impure as its prey, this is kind of expected. Examples: The Wendigo's first victims get turned into beefsteak. The Wendigo stalks Kay and her boyfriend outside their bedroom window when they have sex at a party, and even manages to get into Pearl's house when she's getting it on.
* {{Glowing Eyes of Doom}}: The Wendigo has a pair of these, in a lovely, bloodthirsty shade of sky blue.
* {{Overprotective Dad}}: Harry, to the extreme. Pearl: "I was out killing the bear, and you're worried about me F***ING?!"
* {{Pervert Dad}}: Subverted, when a fellow officer comments "She's not your wife, Harry!" See {{Overprotective Dad}}.
* {{Self Harm}}: The Wendigo is so ravenous that it will even eat it's own skin.
* {{Son of a Whore}}: [[spoiler: Stanley]], and his wendigo transformations are instigated by his discovery of this.
* {{Split Personality Takeover}}: Happens to Red Bear when he finds out his wife cheated on him, turning him into a Wendigo. Also happens to [[spoiler: Stanley and Zeus]].

* {{Agent Mulder}}: Harry - Pretty much automatically believes the whole "it's not a bear" thing, to the point where he starts screaming at a guy because he won't admit that the killer is a Wendigo.

** Possibly justfied as Harry is a former FBI profiler who knows through analysis it couldn't have been a bear and some "almost human" DNA was located at the first crime scene.
