Max Truemontilla ei ole rahaa. Hänellä on takanaan tuomio taposta, eikä hän saa lainaa pankista. Rikkaan perheen pojan kidnappaaminen tuntuu helpolta ratkaisulta. Mutta pimeä tekee tuloaan syvällä Vermontin metsissä sijaitsevan turvapaikan ylle. Kidnappaajat kääntyvät toisiaan vastaan ja vähitellen Max tajuaa, että poika ohjaa heitä kuin marionetteja. Maxin on päästävä käsiksi pojan syvimpään salaisuuteen, ennen kuin tappava peli on pelattu loppuun... (Nordisk Film Fin.)

I surprisingly liked Whisper. The story is not very original, but it’s interesting nonetheless; it keeps the tension until the end, the performances are more than decent for the standards of “unambitious horror”, little David is demonic enough, though he speaks and explains a bit too much at times… The reveal 20 minutes before the end was something I didn’t expect, which also counts. The entire film is permeated by a mysterious atmosphere, I didn’t notice any major weak spots; basically well above-par and a pleasant surprise.

Honestly, Whisper did not work for me at all when it comes to the essential factor that makes a good horror movie, which is the atmosphere. The film basically just recycles clichés from successful and trashy horror movies, and it doesn't deny its low-budget nature. I can only laugh at the comparison to the legendary film The Omen, and even the very average and widely condemned Ghost Ship felt at least a level better to me, and I don't consider that film a genre gem. I gave it 3 stars, and I don't feel like giving the same rating to Whisper because even the presence of popular stars from recent cult TV projects doesn't work for me. Overall impression: 25%. Die-hard horror fans can add 2 stars.
