Windigo is a 2011 horror film by Vince Emerson Media, released on November 11, 2011. Using found footage, the movie tells the story of a group of film students who go camping in an old hick town near Mohawk lands, and end up getting stalked by the monster who resides there.
Legally available to watch on YouTube here. It's also available on DVD with bonus features.
Tropes used in Windigo (2011 film) include:
- Being Watched: The whole purpose of the scene with Selina, Reese, and Brandon on the canoe. Slender Man watches the boat from the shore.
- The Blank: Slender Man himself, as usual.
- Canada, Eh??: The movie is very persistent in reminding you that it takes place in Canada, especially during the first 40 minutes.
- Combat Tentacles: You don't expect them, then suddenly he's using them to fling a truck across the yard.
- Cluster F-Bomb: At some points, definitely.

- Daylight Horror: Most of Tall, Thin and Faceless's appearances are in broad daylight.
- Don't Go in The Woods
- Elemental Powers: Slendy seems to love trees and water. Ripples can even be seen in the quarry when Brandon finds Selina's body. Seems to be weak to explosions, though.
- Follow the Leader: Despite superficial similarities, the movie doesn't take too many cues from Marble Hornets other than the trademark distortion.
- Heroic Sacrifice: During the final fight, after Slendy has gone all One-Winged Angel, Kwekon hops into a sedan and plows into him at full speed. Slendy is next seen withering away in a giant fireball.
- Missing Episode: How did Reese et. al. figure out that Brandon was taken to Alain's house?
- Nothing Is Scarier: At times the movie can be nearly silent.
- Numerological Motif: The movie was released on 11/11/2011, the same repeating number that was used in Tribe Twelve. Might count as an Homage.
- Redemption Equals Death: After accidently killing Dean (Slendy had pulled either a Mind Rape or a Teleportation trick), Kwekon drives a sedan into Slendy at full speed. The resulting fireball seems to finally kill the Eldritch Abomination.
