Two siblings flee their violent father and come across something even more horrifying in the latest by horror master Gustavo Hernández Ibáñez


Vampire films are a dime a dozen. They are creatures that have been reinterpreted many times over in cinema, but when a fresh take appears, it stands out like a lighting bolt. The Whisper (El Susurro) does just that: horror master Gustavo Hernández Ibáñez (The Silent House) anchors a universal story of family, belonging and intergenerational curses in a fresh new vision of vampirism. Fleeing from their violent father, siblings Lucía (Ana Clara Guanco) and Adrián (Marcelo Michinaux) take refuge in a remote mansion, only to find that their neighbours are intending to kidnap them to produce a snuff film. As Lucía fights to protect her brother, she must face their family’s dark family curse. (ANNA BOGUTSKAYA)
