Corin Hardy found huge success with his horror The Nun, and he’s not done exploring this spooky genre. His next movie Whistle is just around the corner, and its cast will include Dafne Keen, Sophie Nélisse, Sky Yang, and Percy Hynes White.
This promising horror film will see a group of misfit teens stumble upon a cursed object, an ancient Aztec Death Whistle. They decide to research the origins of the deadly artifact after finding out that blowing the whistle can summon their future deaths to hunt them down.
Keen (Logan), Sophie Nélisse (Yellowjackets), Yang (Rebel Moon), and White (Wednesday) are set to star alongside Nick Frost (Fighting With My Family). Hardy is directing the movie based on the script written by Owen Egerton, adapted from his own short story of the same name.
Hardy revealed that his next project draws inspiration from classic horrors like The Ring and A Nightmare On Elm Street, with elements of beloved high school movies The Breakfast Club and Donnie Darko, and he’s looking forward to blending these two genres together.
“The premise of Whistle is simple, immediate, and has a fresh, haunting mythology… I’m thrilled to be working with this brilliant young cast to bring this inventive, terrifying, and cinematic new horror to death… I mean life,” said Hardy in a statement.
