About the film

After the sudden death of his wife, Thomas decides to start over and moves with his young son, Jake, to a quiet town. Their new home seems like a chance to leave the past behind, but it does not take long before Jake begins acting strangely. He tells his father about a mysterious man who visits children at night and whispers to them. At first, Thomas dismisses his son's fears as a reaction to the loss of his mother. But he soon discovers that several children disappeared from the area years ago. Witnesses spoke of a mysterious man who gained their trust before vanishing with them. Locals called him the Whisper Man. When Jake starts receiving strange messages, Thomas realizes that the old case may be far more closely connected to his family than he could have imagined. His search for answers leads him into the town's dark past, where he must uncover who the Whisper Man really was and why he has returned now.

Editorial review

A new exciting story about a maniac has been released on Netflix, but "The Whisperer" cannot be called another thriller. The film is more of a tense story, a detective story that drags you in from the first minutes and allows you to work out the course of the investigation yourself and guess before the main characters who the elusive killer is.
