THE WHISTLER

For fear of summoning evil spirits, Native superstition says you should never, ever whistle at night.

 

Henry Hotard was on the verge of fame, gaining a following and traction with his eerie ghost-hunting videos. Then his dreams came to a screeching halt. Now, he's learning to navigate a new life in a wheelchair, back on the reservation where he grew up, relying on his grandparents’ care while he recovers.

 

And he’s being haunted.

 

His girlfriend, Jade, insists he just needs time to adjust to his new reality as a quadriplegic, that it’s his traumatized mind playing tricks on him, but Henry knows better. As the specter haunting him creeps closer each night, he battles to endure, to rid himself of the horror stalking him. If he isn't able to confront his past and the events that changed his life, this dread—this phantom—may plague him forever.

 

It all started when he whistled at night....

Coming SEPTEMBER 16, 2025!

"If you whistle in the dark, something might just whistle back. In a perfect successor to Indian Burial Ground, The Whistler brings us back to the reservation. With it comes Native American folklore given a dark and contemporary twist, characters that are painfully human, and an unflinching look at living with life-altering disabilities. The Whistler will sink its claws in you and refuse to let you go."
