You're Next (2013)
Directed by Adam Wingard
influenced by Wendigo (2002), Habit (1997), The Last Winter (2006)
Not only did he cast Crampton and Ti West (director of House of the Devil and The Innkeepers) in his film, the there is also an early cameo from Larry Fessenden, famed producer of moody indie horror films and director of Wendigo and The Last Winter.
Next door, neighbor Erik Harson's (filmmaker Larry Fessenden, "Habit") already found the body of his mutilated girlfriend with the bloody message "You're Next."

Composer Michelle Dibucci ("Creepshow") echoes the sinister lalala-ing of "Rosemary's Baby."
Instead, filmmakers behind films like The Blair Witch Project, The Sixth Sense, The Others, Session 9, The Devil's Backbone and the new Wendigo have taken a cue from Val Lewton's great horror films from the 1940s, like Cat People and I Walked with a Zombie.
The success of "Sixth Sense" and to a lesser degree "Unbreakable" notwithstanding, Shyamalan actually has more in common with low-budget horror artist Larry Fessenden ("Habit," "Wendigo") than someone who might be working for producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

Characters
Speredakos, as Otis, reminds of another film Otis - Tom Towles in the edgy 1990 flick "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer."
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
Directed by Steven Spielberg
influenced Wendigo (2002)
Visuals
The helmer uses visual elements of such classics as "The Shining," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Jacob's Ladder" to good use.

This stylish thriller has been influenced by films from "The Shining" to "Halloween," yet creates its own distinct place in the genre.
My guess is that Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson's Scream series shamed most filmmakers into discontinuing the usual slasher flicks.
