Whistle director says he's "never known chemistry" like Sophie Nelisse and Dafne Keen's in the new queer supernatural horror: "It worked so perfectly"

Sophie Nelisse as Ellie and Dafne Keen as Chrys in Whistle.

New horror movie Whistle may give the Final Destination franchise a run for its money when it comes to elaborate death scenes, but it's not all blood and guts. So much so in fact, director Corin Hardy describes the scary flick as The Ring meets The Breakfast Club, as it sneaks a genuinely heart-warming romance in amongst all the gooey, gory terror.

Written by Owen Egerton (Mercy Black), it follows Chrys (Marvel's Dafne Keen), as she moves in with her cousin following the death of her father. It doesn't take long for her to catch the attention of sweet student Ellie (Yellowjackets' Sophie Nélisse)... or to find a strange ancient object inside the locker she's been assigned: the locker of one of the school's best basketball players who recently perished in a gruesome "accident".
