Critics Consensus

Whistle doesn't blow it when it comes to milking some memorable frights from its nifty conceit, although this horror flick could've dared to be more original beyond its main hook.

There was room to do something ridiculous here – it bears repeating: this is a film about a killer whistle. Why is it taking itself so seriously?

Whistle remains a wilfully routine horror movie, self-aware to the point of caution.

... the film does everything possible to enhance a narrative we've seen time and again. Even with some tweaks, it remains repetitive. [Full review in Spanish]

Serves up a handful of memorable deaths — and not much else.

Whistle is sufficiently entertaining, as it follows a typical horror movie formula about a curse that kills people. (In this case, it's a cursed whistle.) The movie's big showdown is jumbled, but the overall story delivers scares and some unique visuals.

It's ok! It's a mix of Final Destination, Talk to Me, and Smile.

Even with the premise that your future self is coming to get you, it’s standard teen horror film. Follows the same story beats. Couple death scenes are good but overall a waste of time

Good gore. Interesting characters. And Dafne Keen in full goth mode.

Except for the premonition, this the exact plot of Final Destination. I guess kids from 13-20 will love it. Everyone else....Meh....
