Given that the movie isn't located in the Algonquian regions — nor does it have any real ties to the folklore — it's a safe bet the entity in that movie isn't meant to be a wendigo.

''AKA: Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes''
A 2012 found footage film. After his career was ruined by a hoax, investigative journalist Sean Reynolds tries to make a comeback. He puts together his old crew and decides to prove that Bigfoot hunter Carl Drybeck's discovery of the body of a juvenile Sasquatch is a hoax. It turns out that Bigfoot is real and he brought friends. [[spoiler: And an enemy.]]
!!This {{Film}} contains examples of the following {{Tropes}}:
* [[spoiler: ApocalypticLog: Given the genre, it goes without saying that no one makes it out alive.]]
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Given the title, of course they're in the film. The film does however, play with the underused theory that that Bigfoot is a spiritual guardian rather than a mere cryptid.
* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Stated by Curtis as the reason why he won't go into the woods. He even has someone else back him up on this. [[spoiler: Turns out they were right.]]
* BriefcaseFullOfMoney: In this case a satchel. Sean gives $75,000 dollars to Drybeck to see the Bigfoot corpse.
* [[spoiler: CosmicHorrorStory: A possible interpretation. Bigfoot exists to guard the barrier between this world and the next. And there are spots where things from beyond this world can come through and kill us.]]

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Whatever Darryl saw makes him shoot himself.]]
* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler: Since it appears in the presence of unearthly lights and the mere sight it manages to drive a man to suicide, whatever the Sasquatches are guarding against qualifies.]]
* FaceCam: Sean makes Kevin wear one when he hikes back to the van. [[spoiler: It serves as his personal ApocalypticLog as it records his final moments when he's attacked and torn apart by whatever's out there.]]
