Whisper

Just finished watching this movie after stumbling upon it.

Okay I do t mind cheap made movies, this has never bothered of the movie content is good.

But here this movie fails on all parts.

It's meant to be a horror movie. Where is the horror, oh yeah the content of the movie.

No tension in the movie at all and that is the problem. Yes the movie is made cheaply but where is the tension and the build up of it to make a person watch this film.

If the film makers decide to make another horror film, please put tension and maybe a few jump scares in to make it worth watching.

Give this film a wide berth as you will be wasting your time.

Yes I give them a nod for their effort but give it to a few people to watch and not your friends but let people tell you that this film failed on every level.

Enough said.

Whisper, directed by Christopher Jolley, has one of those classic premises that can be taken in so many different directions. The basic premise : a home health nurse is called in last minute to care for a patient in an isolated house. While there are a couple of jump scares and despite the limitations in budget they try to make an original film. Unfortunately, they don't quite succeed. The dash of social realism in justifying why the character doesn't just leave is always welcome as it brings horror closer to home and helps suspend disbelief. It's a shame because the effort shows. Filming in front of blank boring walls never cuts it for me.

Plot

A young Nurse is assigned to look after a patient in a remote location in the English countryside. As the night continues she finds herself terrorized by an unseen force that is connected with her patient.

Cast

Not the foggiest, but the leading lady was competent enough.

Verdict

When I see ITN appear at the start of a film I sigh, I know what I'm in for. It's the same reaction I get when The Asylum appears, it gives away so much with that one single logo. ITN means British, means very low budget, means a creature feature with an ugly antagonist, talentless cast and the originality of a Fast & Furious movie.

Here we see our young nurse taking care of a coma patient but things don't go as planned. Truth be told if you yourself watched a coma patient it would be as exciting as this film as very little actually happens. Excited by the cover? Expecting to see that throughout? You'll see it for about 5 seconds, sorry.

The film is bland, uneventful, uninspired and bad even by ITN standards.

Rants

ITN vs The Asylum? ITN is poorly made hyper low budget whereas Asylum is generally terrible mockbusters but still have several times the budget of a ITN film. Honestly I'd rather watch Asylum, they've made a few competently made movies and I can't say the same about ITN. Speaking of ITN seen the Tooth Fairy films yet? I believe they made about 4 or 5 I forget, truly......offensively bad stuff. They couldn't even be consistent in the antagonists appearance, and I'm sure the mask they used for the second version got recycled in another film by them I watched recently.

Breakdown

Passable leading lady Very boring Extremely cliched Nonsensical overall.
