Dafne Keen and Sophie Nélisse Interview: Whistle, Marvel and Yellowjackets Season 4

Cursed objects hold a special place in the horror genre and Whistle is about to introduce an especially unforgettable one. While beginning the film's promotional run at San Diego Comic Con 2025, stars Dafne Keen (Logan) and Sophie Nélisse (Yellowjackets) unveiled the markedly horrifying Aztec death whistle at the core of the film. Helmed by director Corin Hardy, this movie is right in his wheelhouse, as he also directed 2018's The Nun as part of the iconic The Conjuring universe. Whistle follows a group of misfit high school friends, portrayed by a stacked cast including Keen, Nélisse, Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead), Sky Yang (Rebel Moon), and Percy Hynes White (Wednesday). They come across the cursed titular object and find out that by blowing the whistle, it emits a piercing sound that summons their future death to hunt them down. Already, it's a haunting and terrifying premise, evoking the sense of inescapability of Final Destination or the sense of foreboding in It Follows. The group tries to figure out the origins of this mysterious object, all while evading the awful fate that is lurking in every shadow. The two leads, Keen and Nélisse, sat with Collider's Perri Nemiroff at this year's SDCC to discuss their experience on set with this chilling script and prop. They reveal that they never blew the prop whistle while they were on set, had issues with creepy hotel rooms, and wonder how they would survive in a real-life death whistle scenario. They also recall what made them click on set and how their characters contributed to the project, while Nélisse teases future possibilities for Shauna in Yellowjackets Season 4, and Keen reminisces about her time with Marvel. #mcu #yellowjackets #horror #interview #sdcc For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
