The Nun director Corin Hardy is back with cursed object horror movie Whistle, and a brand new teaser gives a closer look at the supernatural carnage unleashed from an ancient Aztec Death Whistle.
Whistle has been rated “R” for “strong violent content, gore, drug content, and some language” and will be released in theaters in 2026.
The new teaser withholds the full scope of the horror, but does set up some interesting kills and supernatural set pieces. Watch below.
The high school horror movie centered around an Aztec Death Whistle, known for its shrieking sound, stars Dafne Keen (Logan, “The Acolyte“), Sophie Nélisse (“Yellowjackets”), Sky Yang (Rebel Moon), Percy Hynes White (“Wednesday”), and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead).
In Whistle, “a misfit group of unwitting high school students stumble upon a cursed object, an ancient Aztec Death Whistle. 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.”
The film was written by Owen Egerton (Blood Fest, Mercy Black), adapted from his own short story. It’s produced by David Gross (Room) for No Trace Camping and Macdara Kelleher (The Pope’s Exorcist) for Wild Atlantic Pictures with Black Bear handling international sales.
“Whistle is made with the same heart-on-sleeve, disenfranchised-teen-spirit found in my favorite genre movies that I grew up watching,” said Hardy previously. “I was drawn to the mysterious mythology surrounding the ‘Death Whistle’ and how it presented me with the opportunity to create a variety of cinematic, imaginative, and terrifying deaths.”
Hardy’s previous work on ultra-violent series “Gangs of London” and breakout feature The Hallow, as well as Conjuring 2 spinoff The Nun, should also ensure Whistle is on your radar for 2026 horror releases.
