YMMV / Windigo

• Catharsis Factor: Even if Slenderman does ultimately pull a Karma Houdini and still manages to kill off all but a few of the cast, watching the cast take the fight to Slenderman himself and kick his ass three times in a row (albeit the latter two are when he's posessing Brandon). And while its narrowed down to two survivors, it marks a rare occasion where protagonists of a Slenderman story actually face the creature and win!
• Complete Monster: This incarnation of the Slender Man, combined with the legend of the Wendigo, is portrayed as a malicious entity, driving its victims not only to insanity but cannibalism as well, turning them into zombie-like slaves. Stalking a group of students, it spreads madness, rage, and paranoia across the town of Bonville and slowly possesses Brandon as it turns the residents into its zombified slaves. It soon leads its small army of zombies to attack the students, tricking them into shooting Dean. When seemingly destroyed, with Kwekon sacrificing himself, it fully possesses Brandon, thanking the crew for "brightening the week", before spitefully trying to kill Reece and his girlfriend for fighting back. When beaten, and captured by the government, it grows annoyed at their interrogations before transforming into its true form and killing the interrogator. According to the epilogue, there are no survivors in the town of Bonville.
• Harsher in Hindsight: "You might wanna save [that footage] just in case I go crazy and kill all my actors, huh?"
• Missing Episode: How did Reese et. al. figure out that Brandon was taken to Alain's house?
• Moment of Awesome: Slendy throws a truck.
• Nightmare Fuel: Alain calmly picking torture implements out of his drawers while serene country music plays in the background.
  • Whatever happens to Alain behind the door.
  • Seeing Brandon bloodied and beaten is bad enough, but then he transforms into another Slender Man and murders a police interrogator.
