Disclosure Day (2026) Film Review

A TV meteorologist (Blunt) starts speaking in alien languages and understanding people’s life stories, drawing the attention of a cybersecurity analyst (O’Connor) who has evidence of an alien cover-up. They team up to reveal the truth to the world while evading a powerful corporation trying to stop them.

Disclosure Day is directed by Steven Spielberg (do I really need to say what he’s directed I think you get the picture.)

Steven Spielberg is back and while Disclosure Day does have a bit of a rough start the film does quickly gets on its feet and makes a beeline for the finish line during the second half of the film.

The performances are all around quite great, Josh O’Connor gives a restrained yet investing performance even if this is not one of his best. Colman Domingo’s performance mainly works here because of his charisma and we do get some moments from his character Hugo Wakefield towards the end that are quite great. Courtney Grace who actually is a former TV news reporter gives an incredibly surprising performance during the film’s final moments, it’s by far the film’s most noteworthy moment and everything she needed to do here she not only did it but made it look like a breeze.

But by far the best performance of the film has to be Emily Blunt, it’s one of those performances where you can absolutely argue that it could be a career best. She commands the screen at every moment and brings intelligence, vulnerability as well as determination to her role and the film itself. She is also able to give the film this strong emotional core, this is something the film absolutely needed at certain points in the story and luckily Blunt was there to really help push the film. Even during the film’s more weaker moments when it comes to the script, Blunt is able to elevate the material just by being there to help keep the scene in question on its legs. Blunt gives one of the best performances so far this year and her character Margaret Fairchild has this level of relatability that you can easily connect to as the viewer.

As I said before, the film does have a rough start. It’s not that the first half is anything bad, in fact there are plenty of moments during the first half that are quite great. There is a bit of repetitiveness and goes on for a bit too long. The first half is also just a lot weaker when you compare it to the second half where things really start to kick into high gear. A lot of the elements that you know in love from Spielberg start to show up, the main one being cinema magic and wonder. Especially with the film’s genuinely beautiful ending that does leave the viewer with a lot of questions.

John Williams’ score is well done throughout and brings the sense of movie wonder like he always does, it’s especially noticeable during the second half of the film where we get these quiet moments to really take in what is taking place. The emotion of Williams’ score is also here and really brings the whole package together in the end.

Finally there is the film’s ending which does strike up a ton of conversations and questions, but ultimately I do think the film’s theme of empathy mixed with these final moments really displays this film’s heart. The whole inspiring belief of this truth is done wonderfully especially when you have the earlier mentioned performance from Courtney Grace. The film also really does capture a lot of why we love film so much, there’s this awe-inspiring experience in this film that is done in such a beautiful way. It leaves an impact on the viewer and as mentioned earlier really makes you ask questions and think about those final moments.

Overall Disclosure Day might be predictable in some areas and the first half might not be the best. But I do think the film ultimately sticks the landing and is able to deliver a satisfying and beautiful experience to the viewer.

Disclosure Day is available on all VOD platforms.

Rose Of Nevada (2026) Film Review

Mysterious boat returns to a village 30 years after vanishing. Two men join its crew hoping for better fortune. After one voyage, they find themselves transported back in time, mistaken for the original crew.

Rose Of Nevada is directed by Mark Jenkin director of The Midnight Drives (2007), Bait (2019), Enys Men (2022) and a few others.

Rose Of Nevada is a film where if I had to describe it in one word it would be mystery, because 90% of the time you are not quite sure what is exactly going on here and not in the bad sort of way. The film’s world has this atmosphere attached to it that really compliments the full theming as well, when you combine that with excellent performances and Mark Jenkin’s clever direction. You end up with an experience that you are not going to forget anytime soon.

The performances from George MacKay and Callum Turner are really strong and lure you into the film, I also do love the compare and contrast element going on here with their characters. Nick (played by MacKay) notices that time is being moved backwards, while Liam (played by Turner) embraces the time change almost as sort of way to go against it or challenge it.

The time travel element is incredibly well done here, the whole idea of a ship that was thought to be lost just appears ones day is the sort of story that you would tell your friends around a campfire. The film’s atmosphere compliments this as well, its oozing with this haunting feel that really makes you wonder where did this ship go? What did this ship see? It’s the many questions like these that we don’t really get an answer to but that is perhaps the most haunting part of it all, it’s such a brilliant way to really tie this into a ghost story and truly make the whole story stand on its own.

The whole 16mm look is absolutely fantastic, it brings its own sense of character into the mix and has this haunting version of nostalgia attached to it that really makes this film’s atmosphere all the more haunting. Mark Jenkin’s cinematography has so much detail going on here as well. It paints this haunting picture of going backwards in time that nobody can really do anything about because the source of it is unknown.

Finally there’s the direction from Mark Jenkin who does such a fantastic job of painting a town with no way forward and can only really look back, some people accept it while others who have something to live for do not. It’s especially haunting since as I mentioned earlier the reason why this is happening is not explained and it traps you in this fear of the unknown territory, how far back are the characters going to go in time? What are they going to witness? Those are questions that are entirely up for the viewer to decide and think about.

Overall Rose Of Nevada is a really strong film, it may take a little bit to get going. But once it does it leaves an impact on the viewer and gives you several questions to think about. I do think that if you plan on watching this film you should go in knowing as little as possible.

Rose Of Nevada is currently in theaters.

The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026) Film Review

Din Djarin and Grogu work for the New Republic to track down scattered Imperial warlords, taking on a mission to rescue Rotta the Hutt.

The Mandalorian and Grogu is directed by Jon Favreau director of Elf (2003), Iron Man (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010), Chef (2014), The Jungle Book (2016), The Lion King (2019) and a few others. The film serves as a continuation of the Disney+ television series The Mandalorian (2019-2023).

What happens when you take a television series and desperately try to adapt it into a film? You get something like The Mandalorian and Grogu a movie that is quite bafflingly bad. Which is a huge shame because the show (for the most part) is pretty great, the first season is quite excellent, the second season definitely has its flaws (the endless amount of cameos got really ridiculous) but for the most part retains what made the first season so great. Then you have the third season where it’s nothing but a bunch of side missions squished together in a limited amount of episodes.

Originally a fourth season was going to be made but Lucasfilm decided to prioritize a film which is what we now have. That clearly shows here because between the whole “and then this happened” storytelling, the nonexistent character writing and the incredibly small scale that does not benefit the movie at all. The whole experience devolves into a gigantic mess that nobody figured to clean up.

The acting here is really nothing special at all, Pedro Pascal as usual does a solid job as Din Djarin/The Mandalorian, Steve Blum voices Zeb (a character from Star Wars Rebels) what is kind of neat is he is reprising his role, for the limited amount of screen time he gets he does a decent job. Martin Scorsese makes a brief appearance (weird how this is the third movie released this year where this happened) he is one of the movie’s better parts but once again only appears briefly. Finally there is Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt, the son of Jabba the Hutt. Which I will say he does not give a bad performance it’s just a very cursed and jarring one that you wouldn’t be blamed if you thought it was terrible.

The only other positive I can really give this movie is the score from Ludwig Göransson, this might be his weakest work, however it’s still decently effective and is the only thing here that even attempts to try and bring back the glorious scale we are all used to in Star Wars films.

The main problem here that kills this movie on arrival is the storytelling, the style of storytelling here is the exact same that was done with the third season which as I said earlier was the whole “and then this happened” style. You could maybe make an argument that should get a pass for a television series (even though I would disagree because again limited amount of episodes) but for a theatrical released movie? Absolutely not, due to this it’s dreadfully paced and truly does feel like they had next to no idea what they wanted to do here so they just threw a bunch of ideas at the wall to see what sticks.

The action scenes are bland and don’t give the movie this large in scale feel like the rest of the Star Wars movies, I’m not saying small scale is bad (far from it) but when it’s painfully obvious that this is something that should have been put on streaming as some sort of special that’s when you cross a line. The action scenes just have very little power to them and not the fun or thrilling excitement, Attack Of The Clones (2002) for all its faults at least had strong action scenes that brought the viewer into the experience. None of the action scenes in The Mandalorian and Grogu even attempt to engage with the viewer, it all feels soulless and has this very “rushed out the door” type of feel.

I really don’t know what else to really say here, The Mandalorian and Grogu should not have been a theatrical release, if this were just a special they put on Disney+ then that would have probably been fine. It still would have been bad, but at the very least it would be understandable of why it’s presented the way it is. This is hands down the worst Star Wars movie to date, at least the previously mentioned Attack Of The Clones (2002) had good action scenes and The Rise Of Skywalker (2019) had decent enough acting. This is just a complete and total mess that never recovers.

The Mandalorian and Grogu is available on all VOD platforms.

Project Hail Mary (2026) Film Review

A science teacher wakes up alone on a spaceship. As his memory returns, he uncovers a mission to stop a mysterious substance killing Earth’s sun, and realizes that an unexpected friendship may be the key.

Project Hail Mary is directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller directors of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009), 21 Jump Street (2012), The Lego Movie (2014) and 22 Jump Street (2014).

Project Hail Mary is an absolute beauty of a film, everything that should come together does. Whether it’s the powerful and raw performances, the atmosphere capturing both this sense of loneliness and togetherness or the film’s investing dialogue that brings the viewer along for the experience.

Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace is one of the best performances so far this year, he captures the film’s atmosphere of loneliness and togetherness when the film requires it. Gosling’s charm undoubtedly brings the film together, especially during Ryland Grace’s interactions with Rocky. There’s this beautiful bond that is truly touching and filled to the brim with care, Gosling has shown time and time again how strong of an actor he really is and this time around he really reinforces that and truly goes all out. He’s able to balance the emotional heartbreak and the comedic moments expertly that brings this very human performance that almost anyone can latch onto.

Sandra Hüller once again hits it out of the park, if there is one thing I did not expect going into this film it was Hüller singing Harry Styles’ “Sign of the Times” it is a unexpected yet powerful scene that is only made stronger due to Hüller’s beautiful singing voice. Outside of that, Hüller delivers this grounded cold government official that has this vulnerability attached.

Finally there is James Oritz who voices Rocky who is basically a rock with legs, but do not let that fool you. The amount of character moments he gets is truly fascinating and each one of them only helps build the character, as I previously mentioned earlier, the moments between Ryland Grace and Rocky are truly some of the film’s best, it shows the abilities of both actors and builds their character’s bonds. Oritz much like Gosling is able to balance the emotional and comedic moments, Rocky is definitely a bit more on the comedic side than Ryland Grace is. But that does not stop him from being quite an effective character.

The film’s writing is quite fantastic, the mixture of both loneliness and togetherness is what truly brings this film together for me. The loneliness is the ultimate catalyst of the mission but togetherness is what is needed to survive. We see this with Ryland Grace before going into space this sense of loneliness in the air, sure we see him talking to people but the atmosphere makes sure to highlight the loneliness in the air. The togetherness comes in with Rocky, both Grace and Rocky help each other survive and reach the end of the mission, there is also some flashbacks to when Grace was on earth where there were a few moments of togetherness despite the danger Earth is facing.

Finally there is the film’s technical aspects, when you combine the film’s beautiful and effective score from Daniel Pemberton and the jaw dropping cinematography from cinematographer Greg Fraser who gives some of the best shots from a film so far this year. You get a truly wonderful experience that the film is sure to highlight incredibly well.

Overall Project Hail Mary is a fantastic film that is truly worth the experience. While the film can go on for a bit too long in some areas, that is not nearly enough to stop the film from being quite excellent.

Project Hail Mary is available on all VOD platforms.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (2026) Film Review

A man from the future takes hostages in a diner to find a team to help him fight a future AI apocalypse, leading to a chaotic, time-loop-adjacent adventure.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is directed by Gore Verbinski director of The Ring (2002), the first three films of the Pirates of the Caribbean (2003-2007) series, Rango (2011), The Lone Ranger (2013), A Cure For Wellness (2016) and a few others.

Gore Verbinski is back with quite a very odd film that is perhaps even stranger than A Cure For Wellness (2016), Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is a film that pokes fun at the whole AI landscape that is currently going on, it’s a hilarious ride that does have it’s flaws but overall sticks the landing quite well.

Sam Rockwell gives such a bizarre, hilarious yet charming performance that you can’t help but love in the end. His interactions with the rest of the cast is what really makes his character (who is simply known as man from the future) truly work especially when you combine the amount of fun that Rockwell is clearly having. Rockwell has excellent comedic timing that balances well with the film’s more dramatic moments, jokes that would otherwise not work entirely are elevated thanks to Rockwell’s timing.

Juno Temple who plays Susan a woman who is grieving after her son is killed in a school shooting ends up allowing from him to be cloned into an AI deadbot is quite fantastic. While there is a bit of humor here and it’s very clearly satire, there is some genuinely touching moments we see and that’s thanks to Temple’s performance, she conveys pain and suffering as well as wanting to do anything to bring her son back. Pain and suffering can consume a person over time to the point where you are willing to do almost anything and that is displayed incredibly well here.

Haley Lu Richardson is quite fantastic as Ingrid, we gradually learn more about her as the film goes on and the character writing is quite strong here. We get to see her backstory plus her joy, happiness, sadness and disappointment which all combined together shape her into a quite interesting character that yearns for closeness, Richardson’s performance is touching and has this beautiful balance of humor and dramatic moments that really display Richardson’s talent as an actress. She is definitely the heart of the film and that is especially expressed during the film’s final act.

The writing has this strong balance of humor and sci-fi bizarreness, there is one scene in particular during the film’s final act that does a pretty spectacular job of summing this film and its world up in a nutshell. The character writing isn’t perfect by any means, but it does have extra little details that the film could have easily skipped over, a lot of these characters could have easily been forgettable (some of them still are) but the film does give most of them some sort of backstory that helps fill the interest from the viewer.

The design of the AI and the many robots that show up in the film are bizarre yet incredibly intriguing, very creative ideas that interact with the characters incredibly well. There is this genuine charm that really sticks to the viewer and keeps the design fresh in your mind as you explore this film’s bizarre world.

The film does have its flaws, the ending definitely does feel like they ran out of time so they slapped something together very quickly. Plus I do think the film goes on for a bit too long, with that being said I do think the film is able to overcome its flaws quite easily due to the rest of the film being so creative and fun.

Overall Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is an incredibly fun and creative film that is able to deliver some great performances. It’s definitely not going to be for everyone but I still do recommend giving this one a go!

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is available on all VOD platforms.

Hoppers (2026) Film Review

A 19-year-old animal lover uses technology that places her consciousness into a robotic beaver to uncover mysteries within the animal world beyond her imagination.

Hoppers is directed by David Chong director of We Bare Bears: The Movie (2020).

On the surface Hoppers may not seem like much, however once you get into the film there is a whole lot of heart as well as so much to love here. Between the animation immediately attracting the viewer’s eyes, to the well written characters that you instantly invest in and to the film’s familiar yet strong pro-environmental message. There is so much to really explore and appreciate here with Hoppers.

The voice cast all do a fantastic job and really bring out the character’s personalities. Our protagonist Mabel Tanaka especially, she has a heart of gold who much like her deceased grandmother had this beautiful appreciation for nature and animals. Piper Curda does such a fantastic job adding so much detail to Mabel Tanaka, she brings the right amount of comedy and dramatic moments to make Mabel memorable as a character. Jon Hamm does a solid job at voicing Jerry Generazzo a greedy neighbor, Dave Franco gives a hilarious supporting performance as Titus and Bobby Moynihan gives a surprisingly nuanced performance as King George the Mammal King.

The animation is where Hoppers really shines, it’s the type of animation that instantly brings you into the film’s world. You feel like you are sitting on a park bench watching the animals interact with one another, or when Mabel transfers her mind into a lifelike robotic beaver you can feel the scale change. The world gets even bigger and the animation just seems to really keep pushing with the detail.

The writing is also quite strong, you can very easily tell the writers and the voice cast had a blast with this film. That’s all you really need sometimes to create something special, the film has some bizarre ideas that actually work in the film’s favor. But what it does deliver on the most is being able to communicate its central thesis that bringing back this focus onto ourselves in this wider community while also connecting to nature will help us become closer, it’s quite a beautiful message that combines both humor and more sad moments to effectively tell its story.

Overall Hoppers is a very solid film that has this fun and heartfelt energy that brings the film together. Some ideas might be familiar however in the end the film is worth the watch.

Hoppers is available on all VOD platforms.

Affection (2026) Film Review

Ellie confronts a disturbing condition resetting her memory, unable to recognize her husband and daughter. Each reset disorients her, leaving haunting recollections of an unfamiliar life.

Affection is directed by BT Meza which is his directorial debut.

Affection is one of those movies where it throws you right into things, in some cases this can be a good thing and in others it can be messy. Affection it’s this strange middle ground that as it goes on it starts to hurt the movie.

The main reason to watch this movie is for the performance from Jessica Rothe, she once again shows how exciting of an actress she really is. When the atmosphere requires her to bring in this raw direction she’s able to bring it to the table almost immediately, she brings a lot of layers to her character Ellie and works with the script as well as she can. Even with the writing’s weaker points, Rothe is able to turn in a genuinely great performance that leaves the viewer with some sort of impact.

The movie’s atmosphere is also quite effective, right from the beginning you get this Black Mirror like atmosphere and it does bring a lot of intrigue to it all while also complimenting the characters. The gross out visuals are inspired and have this unnerving feel to them, they bring some sort of focus to the movie’s more bizarre moments. Cinematographer Jason Hafer does a great job of giving the movie some great detail in during the gross out moments.

What does hold Affection back however is the writing and pacing, for a 90 minute movie this feels 2 hours long. The first bit of the movie takes an incredibly long time to get going, it’s not until the tip of the end of the second act is where things finally start to speed up. The writing is a bit too predictable for its own good, once you grasp what is exactly going on here. You can very easily figure out what’s going to happen next, the simplicity of the movie’s ideas also really stop the movie from exploring them to their full potential.

Overall Affection has its moments of greatness, but it does not quite come together as a full picture. Had this been a 30-50 minute short I think the results would have been far better and much more fitting.

Affection releases tomorrow in theaters.

War Machine (2026) Film Review

During a grueling Army Ranger training exercise, recruits encounter a deadly, otherworldly machine, turning their mission into a fight for survival against an alien threat.

War Machine is directed by Patrick Hughes director of Red Hill (2010), The Expendables 3 (2014), The Hitman’s Bodyguard (2017), Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard (2021) and The Man from Toronto (2022).

War Machine is a very odd duck of a movie and not in an interesting way, the movie tries to take elements from so many other action and sci-fi films such as Predator (1987), The Terminator (1984), Aliens (1986) and Independence Day (1996) all of which it fails to recapture. Also fun fact, this is the second movie to be released by Netflix called War Machine. The two films obviously have nothing to do with another as War Machine (2017) is a satirical film that’s based on real events (although fictionalized), this one however is just a very forgettable action movie.

Unfortunately this movie has its problems from the very beginning…it’s characters. A lot of the characters here are nothing but cannon fodder who get almost no time to get moments to shine. Alan Ritchson is admittedly not bad here and plays his role well enough, but without any sort of great character moments the movie struggles with making any of these characters at least memorable.

The stuntwork here is at the very least decent and somewhat makes up for the dodgy CG work, there’s a few moments that have this decent scale to them where it does feel like you are in this movie’s world. But then there are others where the CG takes you out of the experience simply due to how bad they look.

The biggest problem with War Machine is the lack of originality and director Patrick Hughes not having a distinct directorial voice. As I mentioned earlier, War Machine takes from a lot of different movies within the genre but rather than making the elements its own. It feels like the movie is lifting rather than being inspired, it becomes very apparent during the movie’s action scenes. Which leads into Hughes not having a distinct voice, I did not go into War Machine expecting anything fantastic given Hughes’s previous work, however I do think it is still incredibly lazy to not even attempt to try and find a way to make these elements your own.

Even if you took away the genre cliches, you are still left with incredibly corny dialogue and very strained attempts at emotional depth that by then the viewer has already caught on about how poorly written these characters really are.

Overall War Machine is incredibly forgettable, you could absolutely do a lot worse. If you want to just put something on in the background this gets the job done, but if you are looking for an actual great sci-fi action film you are better off looking elsewhere

War Machine is available on Netflix.

Touch Me (2026) Film Review

Two friends, homeless and struggling, find a mysterious ex who happens to be an alien. His touch cures their anxiety and depression, leading them to his compound, but they discover he has sinister motives

Touch Me is directed by Addison Heimann director of Hypochondriac (2022).

Touch Me has plenty of good ideas on paper but unfortunately falls short due to it’s incredibly all over the place script which can take the viewer out of the movie incredibly quickly.

The performances from Olivia Taylor Dudley and Jordan Gavaris aren’t bad, they do what they can with an incredibly out there script and manage to have a few moments where you can tell their chemistry is quite great. The dynamic between the two has its humorous moments that are some of the movie’s highlights.

What ultimately hurts the movie is the incredibly messy writing that seems to not have a focus, on one hand I’m all for movies to be as bizarre as possible. There’s plenty of bonkers moments in this movie some of which do lead into some decently funny scenes. But on the other hand this is the end result when a movie tries way too hard to be as bizarre as possible, there is one scene in particular that really reflects this and simply feels like it’s there to be weird for the sake of being weird.

I do like the atmosphere the movie goes for, but without many strong writing moments combined with moments that want to throw as much bizarreness on the table for the sake of it. The experience as a whole feels very empty and does not offer all that much, with that being said the technical aspects aren’t bad and as I said before the acting is decent enough.

Overall Touch Me isn’t terrible, I admire the attempt of making something so bizarre even if this one does fall short.

Touch Me is out now on digital!

Quick Reviews: Slanted (2026) and Whistle (2026)

A Chinese-American teen gets surgery to change her race to win prom queen, leading to body horror as she deals with the consequences

Slanted is directed by Amy Wang which is her directorial debut.

Slanted is one of those films where I do think the bizarre idea is more interesting than the film itself. That mainly comes down to execution and the film really not going far enough with its premise, despite that however I do think the movie manages to stick the landing in the end.

I do think this is McKenna Grace’s first performance since Gifted (2017) where she actually got a lot of depth for her character. There are some emotional moments here that wrap into the film’s themes and McKenna Grace is able to really capture said moments and make something devastating. Shirley Chen is also quite great here as well, the first bit of the movie we see Joan Huang (played by Shirley Chen) wanting to change. The acting from Chen is careful and quite devastating especially since the viewer does know what is going to happen. When we do get the change of Joan Huang becoming Jo Hunt the result has its character moments but does eventually dry up.

What hurts the movie the most is the writing, as a body horror movie it’s just not there at all. Outside of a few moments towards the end there really isn’t a whole lot of body horror going on here. As a satire that tackles themes of racial identity and self-hatred they are done decently enough, but the execution feels like it’s missing some power hitting moments. The whole idea of the race change through this technology is far more interesting idea than the movie itself, the more interesting moments come in with Joan Huang’s parents reaction to her change. It’s genuinely devastating to watch seeing them completely destroyed and disappointed.

Then you have the rest of the movie that just kind of feels there and does not really do much with the themes. I think for the most part the movie gets the job done, but for a movie that tackles quite a heavy topic it surprisingly feels lacking.

Slanted is available on all VOD platforms.

6/10 C+

A group of high schoolers finds a cursed whistle that, when blown, causes a supernatural entity to hunt them down, manifesting their future deaths.

Whistle is directed by Corin Hardy director of The Hallow (2015) and The Nun (2018).

Whistle is if you took any of the Final Destination movies and proceeded to make your movie far less entertaining. While Whistle is not the worst copycat out there, it is a very forgettable one that is slightly frustrating due to having some interesting ideas that are held back by terrible writing.

The cast try their best with the script that’s given, Dafne Keen being the movie’s lead gets the bigger end of the stick naturally. So she’s able to turn in a decent enough performance, Sophie Nélisse is also not bad here either. A far more interesting movie is hiding in the romance between Chrys Willet (played by Dafne Keen) and Ellie Gains (played by Sophie Nélisse.) The rest of the cast do what they can, I don’t think anyone here turns in a bad performance it’s just a matter of the script being terrible and not giving a lot of these actors anything to work with.

The writing is what flat out kills this move on arrival, the dialogue has a few laughably bad moments that the movie tries to play as being serious. The large amount of cliches and lack of tension completely take the viewer out of the movie and can easily be predicted as to what is going to happen.

There are some creative kills here, but just getting to them feels like a chore. Which is a shame because I do think the whole idea of the whistle causing the deaths of how someone is going to die is pretty interesting. Unfortunately the movie completely botches the idea and goes for the most generic direction possible.

There really isn’t much else more to say here, if you have seen any horror movie within the last 10 years. Then you have already seen Whistle and know exactly how it’s going to end. In a year that so far has delivered a lot of great horror movies, this one really feels out of place.

Whistle is available on all VOD platforms.
