We are excited to host a preview screening of Corin Hardy’s WHISTLE, on the Thur before release, allowing Grimmfest fans to enjoy the film before anyone else in the UK!
The official UK cinema release date for WHISTLE is Friday 13th Feb, directed by Corin Hardy and written by Owen Egerton. The film stars; Dafne Keen, Sophie Nélisse, Sky Yang, Jhaleil Swaby, Ali Skovbye, Percy Hynes White, Michelle Fairley and Nick Frost.
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.
Not one but two previous special guests from Grimmfest past are involved with this one. Director Corin Hardy attended Grimmfest twice in support of his movie THE HALLOW, which we premiered in 2015 and then did a special presentation with Corin talking all about his incredible designs and background work on the film as part of our MOVIES AND MONSTERS event back in 2022.
And of course Nick Frost who graced our stage back in 2024 in support of his movie BLACK CAB.
We can’t wait to share this new horror release with you all!
