“The Whistler” (*1/2 out of four) was a boring horror thriller about a young couple (Diane Guerrero and Juan Pablo Raba) who come into possession of a Venezeluan farm which they initially regard as great fortune but soon realize that (yawn) it has otherworldly and sinister and subversive forces that they have to combat in order to hope to stay alive. Takes forever to get going and even when it does- film is hopelessly Kubrickian derivative of “The Shining” and “A Clockwork Orange”. Camilo Monsalve’s colorful cinematography is one of film’s few virtues.
