Charmed: The Wendigo (1999)
Season 1, Episode 12
A bad moon arisen
9 September 2016
The wendigo finally goes for a creature feature as it reminds me a lot of the wolf man. The creature, phases of the moon and a loved one are all very similar.

Piper breaks down on a deserted road at night when attacked by a horrifying monster. Now her sisters must find it before it causes anymore mayhem and save their sister. This really showed a side of Piper or I guess in all of us the dark that resides even in the most meek waiting to be unleashed. A side story is shown, but with a main story of epic proportions it feels like dead weight and easily over looked.

While I like the set up, the haunting atmosphere and fake outs it reveals the creative's identity to quick. It would be perfect tens all around if the side story has been saved for another time and the big reveal pushed back ten minutes to keep you guessing. Also involving Andy was a great step to take and added the emotion connection needed to flesh it out. It felt personal and you cared instead of another nameless face trying to score big in a guest role.
