Critics Consensus

Whistle doesn't blow it when it comes to milking some memorable frights from its nifty conceit, although this horror flick could've dared to be more original beyond its main hook.

1d

This generic supernatural slasher is perhaps too reflexive for its own good, but Dafne Keen and Sophie Nélisse's tentative queer romance adds some freshness.

There was room to do something ridiculous here – it bears repeating: this is a film about a killer whistle. Why is it taking itself so seriously?

[T]he film isn’t exactly good, but it is occasionally very fun, and while it’s not going to be for everyone, there is a lot for horror fans at least to appreciate.

While Whistle lacks the humour and dread-inducing set-pieces of Final Destination Bloodlines or the odd pathos of The Monkey, it still makes for great dumb fun.

Director Corin Hardy and writer Owen Egerton have fun with the scary stuff, especially as they play up the grisliness.

It's ok! It's a mix of Final Destination, Talk to Me, and Smile.

Even with the premise that your future self is coming to get you, it’s standard teen horror film. Follows the same story beats. Couple death scenes are good but overall a waste of time

Except for the premonition, this the exact plot of Final Destination. I guess kids from 13-20 will love it. Everyone else....Meh....
