Whistle (2026)

 

"Don't blow it"

Well I have to admit the trailer for this flick wet my, umm, whistle, the moment I saw it. A group of students find a "Aztec Death Whistle" (there's a warning sign there!) and discover that blowing it will summon their imminent death, so massive shades to the great 'Final Destination' franchise. Well, after last years chapter in the series, the awesome 'Bloodlines,' how does this new kid on the block bare up?
Badly. 
The pace is just so.............slow, the characters are  the usual cliche of goth, tough jock, geek, all the boxes ticked. In the  final third it does pick up when we get some slightly descend gore, but I was beyond caring by then, and the final scene you can see a mile off. Utterly disappointing it must be said.
2.5/5
