20 Recent Movies That Ruined INCREDIBLE Plots

Corin Hardy's new horror film Whistle had one heck of a fun concept - anyone who blows an Aztec death whistle finds themselves hunted down by a manifestation of how they are fated to die in the future.

The potential for a creative twist on the Final Destination formula speaks for itself, and really all Whistle had to do was serve up a slew of inventively gnarly deaths with some mildly intriguing world-building wrapped around it.

Yet aside from one memorably brutal death scene in which a car accident is re-enacted in the victim's own bedroom, the majority of the kills are bewilderingly tepid, forgettable, and wholly lacking in imagination.

As a result, Whistle ends up feeling like a rough first draft in dire need of punching up with more colourful lore and memorably nasty set-pieces. 

It's a damn shame, as with the right approach Whistle could've absolutely become an enduring horror franchise in its own right, rather than a limp one-off that flopped at the box office.
