The Whisper Within the Woods

Went to see Whisper Within The Woods at the cinema. Honestly, I thought I was made of stronger stuff, but fifteen minutes in, the bloke next to me projectile-vomited into his popcorn and whispered his soul right out of his body. Absolutely couldn't hack it.

As for the film - imagine if a fever dream married a forest, and their child grew up possessed by every demon in folklore plus one invented on the spot. Creepy whispers? Check. Trees that definitely moved when you weren't looking? Double check. Plot? Unsure - I spent most of it trying to decide whether to flee or check on the bloke being sick.

By the end, I wasn't sure if I needed therapy, a hug, or a tetanus shot. 10/10, would traumatically recommend.

We really enjoyed this movie from start to finish. The intrigue, the mystery and how the whole thing unravels at each turn - it kept us gripped. I am a big fan of horrors but this is different (in a good way!). It's not overly gory, and more based in suspense and psychological thriller I'd say. The characters are played well and the script written with a slight humour, hiding the jumps and twists of the story, which combine into a thoroughly entertaining piece! A must watch for any indie film fans. It's hard to believe it's the first feature film made by these guys and on a tiny budget as they achieve so much.

When you see a low budget movie with no star, you often left disappointed by bad acting and story telling. However The Whisper Within The Woods, delivers on multiple accounts.

A strong story about broken relationships, protecting the ones you love and the supernatural left me wanting more.

For a very low budget feature, I was shocked by the amount of cast and locations, all bringing their own passion and realism to a haunting story.

The film was beautifully shot and there is a creepy, yet magical score to boot.

I walked out of the screening moved and wanting more. I hope they make a sequel as I am sure there is more to be told. I can't wait to see this again.

What a cracking film! A properly nerve-jangling indie horror set in the picturesque town of Upminster. What it lacks in budget it more than makes up for with a punchy script and quality acting.

Superb performances and an intriguing storyline that keeps the viewer hooked throughout. Who would have thought something so wicked and wretched would come out of RM14!

The soundtrack is Carpenter-esque with its haunting, almost torturous soundscapes, cranking up the suspense to a satisfying and shuddering climax.

Big recommend for anyone looking for a scare, a fright or a lesson in unsettling local history and folklore.

Fabulous debut thriller film from these incredibly talented filmmakers. The scripting and filming is amazing considering the extremely low budget for this film. The range of actors, costumes, different scenes and locations was really diverse. I loved the storyline and plot. The twists and turns all the way along kept us on the edge of our seat, especially the shock at the end of this fab mystery. The local references were brilliant, not everyone will have picked up on them but if you did then you'll get it. Great effort from the young actors. The sound effects and music was also brilliant. Certainly worth a watch and I highly recommend this exciting thriller to anyone.
