Whispers

First and foremost, for anyone skeptical about the widespread accusations of fake, highly positive reviews for this movie, there is good news. All you have to do is watch the trailer, or the first few minutes, to find out how much of a joke it is. Really. It's that conspicuously bad.

I am entirely certain that the vast majority of raving reviews posted for this film on IMDb are fake. The filmmakers have obviously run a sadly successful campaign of spamming the site with sham accounts, and as another reviewer has pointed out, the ages of these accounts give them away.

I have also looked into many of these accounts to find that "Whispers" is the only film the owner has reviewed since the account's creation. Sloppy and shameful.

On to the actual review:

This movie does one thing well. It manages to be entertaining in its sophomoric attempt at suspense and psychological horror. It does this for about the first ten minutes. Then it's just the kind of bad that makes you want to fall into a deep sleep, and upon waking, express your anger and bewilderment at its IMDb rating.

There isn't much to be said about the film's substance. It has none. The actors are so bad that they turn a substandard horror/thriller script into what plays out like a soap opera. Everything that the film tries to do falls flat. The parts of the script that could have worked as semi-decent horror are utterly ruined by the poor execution of everything from acting to set design, cinematography and editing.

At first, trying to keep an open mind, I thought: maybe surrealism? Absurdism? Maybe it's trying to be this incoherent and ridiculous? I actually couldn't tell if it was intended or if it was simply the generally clunky performance of the actors and filmmakers. However, intended or not, it quickly ceases to be entertaining, and also becomes exceedingly obvious that "Whispers" takes itself very seriously. Eventually, after wasting 90 minutes of my life, I came to the incontrovertible conclusion that, no. This movie is just bad. No need to overthink it. The filmmakers certainly didn't.

This is absolutely one of the worst movies I have ever watched. What is worst is the high average rating it received and users calling it great horror and a dark ghost story - this is all lies. By the end of the movie you are more confused than what you were at the start. The main character Catherine is probably the weakest and most cliché female horror character that appears in a movie - throughout the entire film you just wish Catherine could disappear. No connection was established regarding the apparitions and the characters and the story did not go any deeper into the history of the apparent haunting. What was this movie about?

This was just terrible. Quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen and I've seen Ishtar. There is nothing scary about this movie, it's not horror. It's suspenseful drama at best, and that's giving it too much credit. If you watch this movie you will wish you could get that hour and a half of your life back...but you can't. I unfortunately went off the average review and didn't actually read the red box reviews, until after I watched it. It was then that I realized all the 4 &5 star reviews all made reference to "girl power" and "go girl". I guess if a woman directs a movie it's automatically a great movie. My fiancé and I disagree.

After reading the Reviews I had high expectations. It was very hard to follow from beginning to and I'm not even sure I know what happened! I tried watching it twice and still have no idea the plot line, or the story! I love a good go story, but that I understand. I would not recommend! If they could've tied it together it would've made the story!

After reading the reviews of this film and seeing the high rating I was looking forward to watching it. I was really disappointed that it seemed to go nowhere and bored me to death. If you enjoy this movie then more power to you but my fiancé and I hated it. I honestly don't understand the high rating because I found nothing of substance in this film whatsoever. It was so boring in fact that we both fell asleep less than halfway through it. I would avoid wasting your money on this one and that's just my opinion.
