From director Corin Hardy (The Nun), Whistle will stream on Shudder May 8.
The cursed object horror movie is written by Owen Egerton (Blood Fest), based on his own short story.
It follows a misfit group of unwitting high school students who stumble upon an ancient Aztec Death Whistle. Soon, they discover that blowing the whistle and the terrifying sound it emits will summon their future deaths to hunt them down.
As the body count rises, the friends investigate the origins of the cursed artifact in a desperate effort to stop the horrifying chain of events that they have set in motion.
Dafne Keen (Logan), Sophie Nélisse (“Yellowjackets”), Sky Yang (Rebel Moon), Jhaleil Swaby (“Supergirl”), Ali Skovbye (“Firefly Lane”), Percy Hynes White (“Wednesday”), Michelle Fairley (“Game of Thrones”), and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead) star.
David Gross (Room), Whitney Brown (The First Omen), Macdara Kelleher (Evil Dead Rise), and John Keville (Evil Dead Rise) produce. John Friedberg (Longlegs) is among the executive producers.
Joe Lipsett wrote in his review, “Despite its formulaic premise, familiar characters, and narrative tropes, the film is a genuinely good time. Throw in some outstanding (and mean!) deaths, and horror fans have been gifted an unexpected delight.”
Whistle is rated R for “strong violent content, gore, drug content, and some language.”
