Reviews:
“Devil’s Whisper is a moderately effective religious horror movie that could have benefited from a larger practical effects budget and some courage to really go for the scary cinematic […] The dialogue is corny and the filmmaking is nothing revolutionary, but the emotions are surprisingly genuine.” Mynt Marsellus, Film Pulse
“Technically, there’s nothing wrong with Devil’s Whisper. It looks good, the actors are pros and there are some genuinely good scares and an interesting monster. But it never makes its way past the standard devil movie/possession flick clichés (of which there are many). And in this day and age – over 40 years beyond The Exorcist – it’s time to find break some new ground.” Michael Klug, Horrorfreak News
