The plot of Whistle revolves around a group of high school students who stumble upon an ancient Aztec Death Whistle, which, when blown, summons their future deaths to hunt them down. As they try to survive and uncover the secrets of the cursed object, they realize that their actions have set off a chain of events that will lead to a terrifying conclusion. With a runtime of just 100 minutes, Whistle is a fast-paced and intense ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

What we loved about Whistle is the way it masterfully builds tension and suspense, making you feel like you’re right there with the characters as they try to outrun their demise. The cast delivers solid performances, with Dafne Keen and Sophie Nélisse standing out as particularly compelling. The sound design is also noteworthy, with the eerie sound of the Whistle becoming a character in its own right. As one character whispers, the sound of the Whistle is “like nothing you’ve ever heard before” – and trust us, it’s not something you’ll soon forget.

While Whistle is a solid addition to the horror genre, there are a few areas where it falls short. At times, the pacing can feel a bit rushed, with some plot points feeling glossed over or convenient. Additionally, some of the supporting characters feel a bit one-dimensional, which can make it hard to become fully invested in their fate.

In the end, Whistle is a fun and frightening ride that’s sure to appeal to fans of horror and mystery movies. With its unique premise and talented young cast, it’s a great choice for a night in. We’d give Whistle a solid 7 out of 10 – it’s not perfect, but it’s a great way to spend an hour and a half, and it’s definitely a movie that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
