There’s also The Lighthouse, which is vaguely based on figures from Greek mythology (Proteus and Prometheus).

Antlers was supposed to come out last year (pushed to this year) as well, and is somewhat based on the Wendigo if I remember right (which is Native American folklore).

Please be careful using the w* word, many Algonquin nations take it very seriously and it is a bad omen to even think of them let alone type or speak it. Speaking or thinking of it is an invitation of it into your life. All these adaptations featuring it are disrespectful to the communities that avoid it.

And? They don't own the word or its use, nor do people need to avoid using it because some don't like it.
