the story for whisper represent kidnapper get more than what they bargain for when they kidnap a kid with psychic or supernatural power . at the isolated cabin where the kidnapper be hide him and the evil boy play with their mind and they start die one by one . that it . it pretty obvious the people involve with this film do not know anything about horror film . the kidnapper be and in my book and scum because kidnapping be not cool at all . imo and these kidnapper deserve to die . so when the damien like child start toy with these criminal and i wasn not terrify or on the edge of my seat . i couldn not care less about what be go to happen to them because and well and theyre scum . so and where the horror element to the story . exactly . this be not a horror film . you need to empathize with the character plight in order for the horror element to work properly . this never happen in the whole super slick film . the kidnapper be all good look and young and so i guess that how the director think viewer would sympathize with these criminal . oh no and do not kill that beautiful babe . don not kill that metrosexual guy with the white belt . yep and one of the kidnapper actually wear a white belt . how gruff . how much time do the wardrobe department spend on this unintentionally funny detail . be it an inside joke . i couldn not concentrate on anything else other than the white belt when that character be terrorize on the frozen lake . okay and enough with the white belt . obviously influence by japanese horror film and whisper be more about mood and create suspense than gore and violence . think of this a a japanese version of the omen ( there be two death scene which be identical to those in damien represent omen 2 ) . but it even fail at that . as anemic a the story be ( no one notice the massive painting in the room . while what be those wolf about anyway . ) and the main problem be the idea itself . the film could have work if the writer actually know something about horror or how to play with guilt vi a vi kidnapping and other human emotion but the drama fell flat . and because the horror never register and whisper be doubly forgettable . in the end and it just one of the many boneheaded horror film make these day . ( notice the big disparity in the useful comment compare to the other review . i guess the crew have be log in and vote not useful . lol . ) .
