Quoted from RobbieD
Nice!

You might want to elaborate on that, Robbie.
As complimentary as that is for the writer, it doesn't actually cut it as a review.

I like it but a few things to think about.

Too much dialogue and too much telling us things. Like when the Wendigo is chasing  them and one of them says "He's chasing us! You don't need that.

I think that you should use the exposition on page six as the opening.  Too much exposition and telling us half way through.  Give us some opening about this urban legend then go into what they're doing in the woods.  

Maybe that's why they're doing the ritual is for this urban legend. For now it's not really clear why they are doing it.

One more thing you introduce two characters Sarah and Greg on page 5 out of nowhere. Were they with the crew the whole time, or did they just show up? It was confusing. Maybe introduce them with them at the beginning.
