"I couldn't finish this one...it's too bad because the lead actor and the others were so good...I just couldn't tell what was going on...there's a lot of going back and forth between reality and fantasy because of some hallucinogenic tea they drank....it's way too much!"

"Bananas! Was I the one that drank the special tea, or was Gus? A mind trip of a movie about friends?, drugs?, sanity?, a wendigo? You decide! If you want a strictly monster horror movie, this isn't for you. I'm on the fence about this one. #mindbending #drugs #paranormal"

"Trippy!"

"This was an interesting one. Halfway through you can tell that they were trying to go for a trippy unreliable narrator kind of atmosphere. Sometimes it worked, but I think it could have been handled better overall. The fact that they decided to use and put their own spin on the Wendigo, an actual mythical creature a part of Native American culture, is something you'll have to take with a grain of salt. I just don't think they necessarily handled it with care."
