Long ago, the mighty Wendigo was defeated and buried in a secret place known only to a select individual tasked with protecting this unholy ground, lest it be revived from the grave. When two arrogant hunters, Gary and Dave, stumble upon the Wendigo’s final resting place and kill its elderly protector, they unknowingly revive the ancient demon, which gorily dispatches Dave. Taking refuge with another group of hunters in a nearby cabin, the posse are set upon by all sorts of ghoulish creatures, not the least of which is the Wendigo itself. Meanwhile, a young woman named Sandy begins to experience visions telling her that she must now kill the Wendigo…
From the snowy wilds of Michigan, Tom Chaney’s FROSTBITER (aka WENDIGO) is a highly ambitious indie horror gem which, inexplicably, remained nearly unreleased (save for some local screenings) for the better part of a decade following its late 80s production. Featuring clever use of miniatures, highly stylized camerawork and editing, frequent gore, and loads of wintry atmosphere, Vinegar Syndrome is overjoyed to at last debut this folk horror infused regional creature feature on Blu-ray, newly restored in 2K from its 16mm camera negative and bursting with extras that are sure to rip your head off!

"Frostbiter is the little film that could, a clear ode to Evil Dead but very much taking on a life of its own with the incorporation of the Wendigo mythos. There's dodgy acting, strange music, unexpected gore, and even stop-motion effects. What it lacks in polish, it certainly makes up for in ambition and heart. It's just the kind of unexpected wonder you hope VS will somehow continue to unearth."
"Have only seen clips of this online but watching this release for the first time, they don’t prepare you for how ridiculous and fun this movie is. It’s a rollercoaster ride of insanity. Are there any other movies you can name that have a chili demon that bites a guy’s hand off? The claymation entirely of a main character is very ambitious. An obvious homage to The Evil Dead I and II, its influence is obvious. The special features for this release are excellent. Interviews with the director, producer, actors, stop motion animator and sound editor. Also included is BTS footage and a footage from the premiere. A goldmine for any fan of this movie. The slipcover is the same as the standard. A little dark but nice enough."
"Pretty enjoyable movie. I thought the music, practical effects, and stop motion bits added to the charm of this horror oddity. Great picture quality, too! The special features were also very much appreciated and gave more insight into the movie."
"For fans of low budget creature features and stop motion animation. I liked this one. Recommended"
"DIY "trash-horror" film that serves as a fun, often chaotic, and "Evil Dead"-inspired homage. Impressive stop-motion effects, gore, and a loud soundtrack despite its somewhat incoherent plot."
"Constantly exciting. Exceedingly creative. Doesn't let up for a minute. A good watch."
"Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo is fun. It's got Evil Dead II vibes, stop animation, gore, cheese, and it's one of the films that Ron Asheton, proto punk legend from The Stooges, is in. The release is good quality, too, and I'm stoked to have gotten one of the slipcovers! Film 3/5 Release 4/5"
"Frostbiter is the DIY horror flick you need in your life. This release is a major upgrade over the old dvd. Filled special features and is a must own for troma fans."
"Must watch during winter"
"Really fun movie that has the original evil dead vibe to it."
