A Whisper in the Dark

This hyper obscure mega low budget indie horror tells the story of a mans revenge for the death of his young relative by summoning "Dark ones".

Cue 90 minutes of poor character development, mysterious whispers and dreadful kills.

There really isn't much to say about A Whisper In The Dark, it's not so much a swing and a miss as a swing....a miss....and hitting ones self in the face with the bat.....repeatedly.

Boring, badly made and somehow it spawned a sequel?!

The Good:

Couple of the cast were decent enough all things considered

The Bad:

Amateurish from cover to credits

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

If you summon "Dark forces" you'll get a hoodie

This is yet another ultra-low budget homemade offering from the era of manufactured austerity, and it feels like it. A man whose property is about to be repossessed calls up the spirit of a long dead serial killer to avenge him for the death of his beloved grandson, a child who died for want of an expensive heart transplant operation. The wraith begins by killing bankers. Well, even Ted Bundy wasn't all bad. Needless to say the killing goes on; the entire thing was filmed in Nowheresville, USA. One cannot of course judge films of this nature by the same yardstick as "professional" offerings, but there is an interesting and tragic aside to this one.

"A Whisper In The Dark" was released April 26, 2015. On October 1, 2014, one of its cast was murdered, apparently by her own son. The film is dedicated to her memory. Dr Ruby Moon-Houldson was a prolific novelist. She was stabbed to death in her own home, apparently over a financial dispute. Jorrell Houldson was a waster. At the end of the month, a warrant was issued for his arrest, but he was already dead; he had apparently committed suicide the day after the murder.
