| 3 | ''Maneater'' is a direct-to-video horror film from 2009. Funnily enough, the monster eats humans. The film stars Creator/DeanCain, Cristopher Darga and Creator/SaginawGrant 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. |

| 7 | !!This film contains examples of : |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * AgentMulder: 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. |
| 10 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: 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]]. |
| 11 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: The Wendigo has a pair of these, in a lovely, bloodthirsty shade of sky blue. |
| 12 | * PervertDad: Subverted, when a fellow officer comments "She's not your wife, Harry!" |
| 13 | * SelfHarm: The Wendigo is so ravenous that it will even eat it's own skin. |
| 14 | * SexSignalsDeath: 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. |
| 15 | * SonOfAWhore: [[spoiler: Stanley]], and his wendigo transformations are instigated by his discovery of this. |
| 16 | * SplitPersonalityTakeover: 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]]. |
| 17 | * {{Wendigo}}: The name given to the film's creature. Mostly similar to the original myth, with some added superpowers. |
