Directed by Corin Hardy (The Nun, The Hallow), Whistle taps into ancient folklore and modern terror as a group of unsuspecting high school students stumble upon a cursed artifact known as an Aztec Death Whistle — an object so powerful that anyone who blows it summons their own violent future death.
Once activated, the whistle releases an unholy scream that calls forth horrifying apparitions — manifestations of each victim’s impending demise — which stalk and hunt them through the shadows.
As fear spreads and the body count rises, the group races against time to uncover the origins of the ancient relic before the curse wipes them all out.
