The Whistler

I was mailed this version of The Whistler quite by accident, but watched it anyway. Boy what a mistake. The film I wanted was William Castle's camp classic of the same name. which when compared to this schlock, looks like "The Exorcist."

The dialog is cringe-inducing clichéd, and the "acting"--and I am using that word loosely--is laughably bad, as if the players have been pumped full of Ambien and were reading their lines off a teleprompter. The plot was o.k., but the special effects ruined it- -and if I see one more independent horror film that has a dismemberment that shows no bones in the severed limb I will scream.

I wish the Whistler had showed up at my house and gouged my eyes out.

The scariest part of this waste of money and time was when the words TO BE CONTINUED... appeared at the climax. God, I hope not. There are just too too many people with big ideas, small budgets and minuscule talent working in Hollywood these days.

I thought this was a great show and would recommend this to friends who understand what independent films are and how creative they can. The scenes are done well and the acting is top notch. If you are looking for a good horror movie to watch then this is one that you won't want to pass up. You Actually get to see the killer from the start unlike other movies where it is feigned or implied until the very last scene and you wonder what you just watched it for. So, pop the popcorn, turn out the lights and curl up with a good movie tonight. You will be very pleased with the outcome of the movie and you will recommend this to your friends as well.
