Mark (Dávid Fecske) is a vlogger with a predilection for all things
macabre - so when his grandparents die, apart from grieving he's also
excited to lay his hands on a painting they own, The Whispering Man,
a rather creepy picture that might be linked to the disappearance of his
father - but for some reason it has always held a special fascination for
Mark. Thing is, over the years since he has last seen the picture, this
fascination has only grown, and now that he has it, he starts hearing
things - much to the dismay of his brother Tommy (András Korcsmáros),
his girlfriend Dora (Ágota Dunai), and his sister Anna (Marcsi Nagy) who
soon feel Mark's starting to change. And none of them like it very much
that he puts up more and more cameras to document everything happening.
One night, while trying to figure out the secret behind the painting, Mark
investigates an abandoned asylum, an excursion he returns from a changed
man. He soon falls violently sick, which his loved ones attribute to the
painting, and a specialist (Rob Oldfield) they call in suggests the help
of an exorcist. But Mark might not be totally in agreement with this
decision ... Now this is a very effective little shocker, as it
doesn't use its found footage approach as an excuse to being lazy in terms
of storytelling and aesthetics, but it spins a rather tense yarn really
using its approach to get into the mindset of its lead character,
especially when he's more and more gone, and otherwise telling a fine tale
of demonic possession. And good writing and a solid cast make sure the
story comes to life for sure, plus the painting used in the film is really
creepy. Worth a look for sure.
Sounds interesting? Make sure to check out the
trailer, too...
