The Retreat is a 2020 American
horror film written and directed by Bruce Wemple.[1] Set in the
Adirondack High Peaks of upstate New York, the film stars Grant Schumacher as Gus, a man who, during a winter backpacking trip with his friend Adam (Dylan Grunn), finds himself tormented by a
wendigo.[1][2][3]
Dakota Dahl of
Rue Morgue magazine called the film "a pretty fun
psychological thriller/
monster movie mashup", and wrote that "While the monster scenes are hit or miss, the film's slippery grip on reality can be fun, especially for anyone who has dabbled in
hallucinogens before."[5]
