Review of Whisper

Whisper (I) (2007)
6/10
Thrilling to watch, but lacks originality
11 December 2012
Long time before Whisper, there were the Omen series, Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist and other movies with a mysterious child having supernatural powers, with strong references to occultism and religion. Here, the child (9-years-old boy David, splendidly performed by Blake Woodruff), has been "victimized" more as he is being kidnapped. The events coming then are catchy to follow, but they all end in a similar manner and are mixed with flashbacks and wolves. The cast is also nothing special, with the exception of Woodruff and Joel Edgerton as Vince Delayo.

Well, the movie is okay to watch, and about 1h 20 minutes only, but as for similar plots, I still prefer movies where a child punishes evil (people) using his/her own wit and skills - as in Home Alone series, for example.
