In "Whistle," the new kid in class finds herself as part of an unusual show and tell, something that will become more of a "show and hell" in this violent and gory R-rated horror film. One of the film's stars has told her family what they can expect.
"They have been warned that it's gory and that we spare no one and that there is no mercy for the audience in this," said Sophie Nélisse.
"'Whistle' is about an ancient artifact," said director Colin Hardy, explaining that when it's blown, "the sound it makes, if you're unlucky enough to hear it, it's going to bring your future death to hunt you down."
The movie had this reporter cringing at the horror as I watched. Laughing about that, Hardy said, "I think that's a compliment even though I don't want to make anyone cringe."
"I get as scared as the audience does, even though I filmed all of these scenes," said Nélisse. "When I watch it with the music, with the jump scare, with the timing, I'm also freaking behind the screen."
"Whistle" has plenty of scares in store for moviegoers and, yes, if you see it, you'll want to stay for the credits for one last surprise!
"Horror is this sort of genre that doesn't die. It reinvents itself. It's one of the few genres that draws people to the cinema," said Corey. "I think that's built into its DNA."
