Dafne Keen’s Horror Movie Whistle Puts a Curse Object Spin on the Final Destination Formula (Review)

The movie Whistle centers around Chrys, a teenager dealing with her father’s death who goes to live with her cousin. As she tries to adjust to a new town, Chrys discovers an ancient, Aztec whistle shaped like a skull. This whistle turns out to be cursed, and soon Chrys and her friends are facing a dangerous, unknown threat. While the whistle provides an interesting premise, the movie relies heavily on common horror themes and doesn’t explore deeper ideas. Despite strong performances and solid directing, Whistle doesn’t take enough risks to truly stand out.
