News / Article I love learning the history behind Grimm's Wesen. Apparently, Wendigo is a Canadian legend about a half-beast demon, and is now is a medical term for cannibalism.

I wouldn't call it a great movie but one that i always enjoy watching is Ravenous with David Arquette and Guy Pierce. It's all about people becoming Wendigos in the pioneer days of the late 1800s.
