The Whisper Within the Woods

This debut film from director Mark Adlington was excellent. Created on a budget of next to nothing (not that you'd know!) this had me glued to my seat throughout.

Writer Gary Redwin's script was darkly witty in all the right places, yet serious and unsettling where it needed to be.

The score from Paul M. Finney was a wonderful throwback to when films had theme tunes and really added to the mood.

With excellent performances from the central characters and a brilliant supporting cast, this was enjoyable from start to finish.

I'm looking forward to whatever comes next from this excellent film making team.

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.

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.

The whisper within the woods is such a gripping story!! Right from the beginning it leaves you on the edge of your seat wanting more. The portrayal of the story line was very intriguing. You can tell that this film was very thought out and had your mind fixated. When watching a movie, feeling involved is the best experience to have. Even in the first scene, it has you. It was great to see something that catches your attention from the start and releases the hidden treasures that you wouldn't believe unless you saw it! Congratulations to all involved! Worth the watch! A few jump scares when needed. Brilliant film. Will definitely watch again!
