The scene is the seashore. Somehow a pay phone -- which we don't have any more anywhere -- is situated about 12 feet from the water and it's ringing. I horrible actress answers it and she knows who's calling.
This very first scene, which lasts maybe 2 minutes gives you an idea how utterly bad this movie is going to be.
The acting across the board is dismal. The exposition is incredibly slow. The jump scares are dumb and embarrassingly insulting.
This movie is perhaps the worst film I have seen in 20 years. The one, and only, good thing I can say about this train wreck of a movie is that the scenery is nice.
That's it.

Found this movie confusing from the beginning and thought the acting was terrible (especially the 'evil' laughing!). Don't waste your time on it, sadly I persevered to the end in the hope it would get better and make sense but was so disappointed and won't get that time back. I'm sure this was meant to be something clever with a deep meaning but honestly didn't get it at all. I read the concept of the movie and the desperation at a time of grief but couldn't connect with the storyline or the characters. This movie had scored high on other review sites...not sure what movie they watched but can't understand their ratings if it was the same one!
Some filmmakers seem to think that drawn-out, needlessly cryptic dialog will make their creation come off more cerebral. It doesn't. Had the writer/director relied more on the visuals of this film, they might have had something here. Unfortunately, whatever potential dread they were going for is weighed down to a slog by endless pseudo-intellectual sounding exposition. I'm guessing they thought it was making the story more interesting, when it reality it was doing just the opposite. I'm not really sure who Dead Whisper is intended for. It's going bore the hell out of mainstream audiences, and I imagine even cinephiles are going to have a hard time getting through this one.
Movies are not for everyone. There is no need to wait for a special intrigue, there is no clear statement, there will be no struggle between good and evil. It's just a movie reflection in a whisper :)
The film is an unusual cinematography, where the tragic escapism of meditative aesthetics becomes the main element. This is a picture created for true connoisseurs of slow and unhurried discussions about the essence of death. This is a quiet movie whisper, delicately immersing the viewer in a world of detachment and oblivion.
The story of a hero who gave up life and got the desired oblivion becomes not so much a plot as an occasion for deep reflection. An image of loneliness, highlighted by mise en scene and classic reference camera work. The director creates a subtle atmosphere of understatement, in which each frame seems to invite the viewer to become a participant in this meditative journey.
Intrigue does not prevail here, it gives way to contemplation and internal dialogue. The film does not try to convince or convey a specific message, it invites each viewer to hear for himself a faint whisper of reflections on life and death. This is a reflection movie, where quiet moments take on special significance, and each frame becomes a platform for subtle reflection.
It's more than a movie :) This is an experience that requires careful and thoughtful immersion. In this escapist world, saturated with refined loneliness and the elegance of understatement, the viewer can find his own answers to questions or not, the second is most likely :) which the movie asks in a barely audible whisper.
