Plot Summary

Whistle is a 2025/2026 English-language supernatural horror thriller directed by Corin Hardy and written by Owen Egerton, adapted from Egerton’s own short story. The film stars Dafne Keen as Chrys, Sophie Nélisse as Ellie, with Sky Yang, Jhaleil Swaby, Ali Skovbye, Percy Hynes White, Michelle Fairley, and Nick Frost rounding out the ensemble. The story centres on a group of high school outcasts who unearth an ancient Aztec death whistle that does far more than whistle — it lays a curse that summons their future deaths back to hunt them in the present. As the body count rises and fear spreads, the friends must investigate the artifact’s mysterious history in a desperate bid to stop the chain of horrifying events they’ve unleashed. A Canada–Ireland co-production from No Trace Camping and Wild Atlantic Pictures, Whistle blends classic teen-horror tropes with supernatural suspense. The film premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 25, 2025, and is scheduled for limited theatrical release in the United States and several international markets on February 6, 2026. Designed for fans of chilling cursed-object horror with modern teen dynamics, Whistle brings gore, mystery, and escalating dread to audiences looking for a fresh spin on horror mythologies.
