Shudder Acquires U.S. Rights for New Horror Film ‘Whistle’

1 month ago 20

Independent Film Company and Shudder have acquired U.S. rights to Whistle, the new horror film from The Nun director Corin Hardy, starring Dafne Keen (Logan), Sophie Nélisse (Yellowjackets), Sky Yang (Rebel Moon), Percy Hynes White (My Old Ass) and Nick Frost (How to Train Your Dragon).

The film will be released wide in theaters at a date not yet disclosed. Black Bear is handling international sales.

Owen Egerton adapted the screenplay for Whistle from his own short story. The film watches as a misfit group of unwitting high school students stumble upon a cursed object, an ancient Aztec Death Whistle. Soon, they discover that blowing the whistle and the terrifying sound it emits will summon their future deaths to hunt them down. As the body count rises, the friends investigate the origins of the deadly artifact in a desperate effort to stop the horrifying chain of events that they have set in motion.
