‘Whistle’ New Trailer, Poster, and Pumpkin Fest Revealed
Director Corin Hardy’s (The Nun) next horror movie, Whistle is coming very soon from Independent Film Company and Shudder, and today brings a new official trailer, revealing more of the film’s Halloween setting, including a pumpkin fest.
In the film, a misfit group of unwitting high school students stumble upon a cursed object, an ancient Aztec Death Whistle. Soon, they discover that blowing the whistle and the terrifying sound it emits will summon their future deaths to hunt them down. As the body count rises, the friends investigate the origins of the deadly artifact in a desperate effort to stop the horrifying chain of events that they have set in motion.
From The Nun director Corin Hardy, the cast includes Dafne Keen (Logan, The Acolyte), Sophie Nélisse (Yellowjackets), Sky Yang (Rebel Moon), Percy Hynes White (My Old Ass), and Nick Frost (Sean of the Dead, Get Away).
Owen Egerton, who wrote and directed the criminally underseen and absolutely excellent 2018 Halloween horror movie Blood Fest, adapted the screenplay for Whistle from his own short story.
When the film wrapped shooting last year, Hardy posted some set photos on Instagram, including one featuring a massive jack o’ lantern in the background (see it below), first suggesting a Halloween setting.
More recently the teaser trailer confirmed that at least some of the film takes place around Halloween, with a quick shot of a character dressed in a devil costume with lots of lit jack o’ lanterns burning behind her, and now the latest trailer includes quick glimpses of more characters in costume, a pumpkin fest flyer hanging on the high school wall, and people attending what appears to be that pumpkin fest.
Whistle will be released in theaters on February 6, 2026.
Watch the new trailer, and check out the new poster and some Hallo-flavored stills from the trailer, below.
