Netflix is clearly gearing up for the colder months ahead with the release of its new original movie, “The Whisper Man.” When I first watched the trailer for this crime thriller, I immediately got major “Silence of the Lambs” vibes, which I’d say is a huge compliment. As a big fan of that classic, it’s safe to say my interest was instantly piqued. Directed by James Ashcroft, “The Whisper Man” is a dark ’90s throwback thriller steeped in somber suburban paranoia, like “Zodiac” or “Seven” filtered through the lens of a quiet small town. Having seen this film already, I’m actually a little surprised.
