Do not talk to patient
nogodnomasters15 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Sam (Linda Louise Duan) is a party animal. After a heavy night of drinking she gets an assignment to care for a man in coma. She is a nurse. There is a list of house rules which she proceeds to break. She finds Gwen's (Amy Secker) phone under the sofa as it was ringing. She snoops. Gwen was the girlfriend of Tom (Richard Conrad) the patient. At 21 minutes into the film things get weird and you know someone or something else is in the house. It is time to get out, but Sam is curious until she discovers what is going on with the patient.

This was a low budget film. Linda Louise Duan has to carry the whole thing based on her acting ability and script strength. There are a number of classic horror film ideals incorporated into the production. While done well, they have all been done before.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Whisper: ITN strike again
Platypuschow24 November 2023
Plot

A young Nurse is assigned to look after a patient in a remote location in the English countryside. As the night continues she finds herself terrorized by an unseen force that is connected with her patient.

Cast

Not the foggiest, but the leading lady was competent enough.

Verdict

When I see ITN appear at the start of a film I sigh, I know what I'm in for. It's the same reaction I get when The Asylum appears, it gives away so much with that one single logo. ITN means British, means very low budget, means a creature feature with an ugly antagonist, talentless cast and the originality of a Fast & Furious movie.

Here we see our young nurse taking care of a coma patient but things don't go as planned. Truth be told if you yourself watched a coma patient it would be as exciting as this film as very little actually happens. Excited by the cover? Expecting to see that throughout? You'll see it for about 5 seconds, sorry.

The film is bland, uneventful, uninspired and bad even by ITN standards.

Rants

ITN vs The Asylum? ITN is poorly made hyper low budget whereas Asylum is generally terrible mockbusters but still have several times the budget of a ITN film. Honestly I'd rather watch Asylum, they've made a few competently made movies and I can't say the same about ITN. Speaking of ITN seen the Tooth Fairy films yet? I believe they made about 4 or 5 I forget, truly......offensively bad stuff. They couldn't even be consistent in the antagonists appearance, and I'm sure the mask they used for the second version got recycled in another film by them I watched recently.

Breakdown

Passable leading lady Very boring Extremely cliched Nonsensical overall.

Two stars for effort but don't bother.

Just finished watching this movie after stumbling upon it.

Okay I do t mind cheap made movies, this has never bothered of the movie content is good.

But here this movie fails on all parts.

It's meant to be a horror movie. Where is the horror, oh yeah the content of the movie.

No tension in the movie at all and that is the problem. Yes the movie is made cheaply but where is the tension and the build up of it to make a person watch this film.

If the film makers decide to make another horror film, please put tension and maybe a few jump scares in to make it worth watching.

Give this film a wide berth as you will be wasting your time.

Yes I give them a nod for their effort but give it to a few people to watch and not your friends but let people tell you that this film failed on every level.

Enough said.

Yeah. A nurse with a hangover. That's just what the doctor ordered.

Warning: Spoilers
And what the doctor orders for her are the D. T.'s of a nightmare where her patient has some sort of demon inside them that emerges and basically moves from one host to another, but not the kind of host that is throwing a party. When you begin to think this is getting good, it just ends, nothing revealed, not that there was much there anyway. Experimental in the way that seems to be a student film, this should have remained in the classroom and had more instruction on character development, pacing, the issues of having lengthy periods of absolutely no sound and certainly what creates tension and suspense, interests the audience and keeps them wanting to stick around. You get really nothing of value in wanting to spend a little over an hour with the nurse, her patient and his girlfriend, in a structure that is confusing and frustrating. The use of intense music is perhaps the only aspect I found worth while, but after a while, that didn't save this from being worth watching. Even as a free movie viewing that didn't take up much of my time, I found it pointless.

Effort was there...
suedimmick17 April 2023
Whisper, directed by Christopher Jolley, has one of those classic premises that can be taken in so many different directions. The basic premise : a home health nurse is called in last minute to care for a patient in an isolated house. While there are a couple of jump scares and despite the limitations in budget they try to make an original film. Unfortunately, they don't quite succeed. The dash of social realism in justifying why the character doesn't just leave is always welcome as it brings horror closer to home and helps suspend disbelief. It's a shame because the effort shows. Filming in front of blank boring walls never cuts it for me.
