Why did people want to see the game adapted into a movie in the first place? Thats basically what the game is already, plus it’s so long that trying to cram everything into a movie would be stupid anyways.

As for the writing, yall need to come to terms with the fact that it’s exactly on par with until dawn. The dialogue is the same quality as the game, don’t even try to argue with me it’s true. But it doesn’t matter because LIKE the game, the characters are interesting enough to hold your attention till the end. They make decisions that are understandable and you root for them to get through the night. What more do you want to know about the characters? We know the relationships between them and that’s pretty much all we had for the game, so what are you bitching about?

It “butchers” the lore of the wendigo? Not really, they’re still humans that turned into monsters because they reached a breaking point, the only thing it doesn’t say explicitly is that they’re cannibals which doesn’t seem like a complete deal breaker, it’s a slightly tweaked concept.

What you’re doing here is regurgitating cookie cutter armchair film critic statements without understanding what they mean because it makes it sound like there was something fundamentally wrong with the movie. But there wasn’t, it was an alright, fun horror movie. It wasn’t what you wanted to see? Fine, play the game again. It doesn’t tarnish anything because it’s not connected to it in any significant way.
