Moviegoers are saying
This supernatural horror film featuring Sophie Nélisse has divided audiences with its lesbian romance subplot and Final Destination-style curse involving an ancient whistle, earning praise for creative kills and chemistry between leads while being criticized for rushed character development. Viewers appreciate the LGBTQ+ representation and visual effects, though many feel the core horror elements don't quite hit the mark despite some genuinely creepy moments.

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?

It’s the same thrill as the Final Destination movies, which Egerton and Hardy have both noted as an influence: watching likable protagonists try and sometimes fail to evade death.
