Customer Reviews: The new Damien...well, close March 23, 2008 Bazzer (United Kingdom) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful Whisper was a great little chiller that I came across in Blockbuster, hidden away on the back shelf. Having not seen much about it I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasently surprised. I was gripped from start to finish. br /The story begins with convicted felon Max (Sawyer from Lost) who is hired to execute a kidnapping of David, the son of a wealthy woman. Along with his wife and two other strangers, they take refuge in a secluded lodge and wait for ransom instructions. But little do they know that David is not like a normal child, and that he is far from innocent, causing trouble among the kidnappers. br /The acting is great from all of the cast, especially Max, who is played by Josh Holloway, known for his great performance as Sawyer in Lost. But it is Blake Woodruff who plays the young David who stands out, giving a truly splendid performance as the demonic child. Although this is at times similar to The Omen, it is still a great horror, proving that those unknown DVDs on the back of Blockbusters wall can actually turn out to be rather good (with the exception of Lake Placid 2, where calling it dreadful would be polite). Deadly whispers November 13, 2008 Mr. Jonathon T. Beckett (Dracula's Crypt) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Max and Roxanne are a couple in financial trouble. When Max's make or break business deal falls through, they become involved in a plot to kidnap a child from a rich family. Disguised as Santa, Max kidnaps angelic David Sandborn during the childs Birthday party, and along with Roxanne and fellow kidnappers Sydney and Vince takes the boy to a hideout in the deep woods. Theres only one problem, David's no angel and soon strange things start happening to the gang, as David manipulates them to turn against each other and is able to enter their minds to drag out long buried secrets. br /This is at times highly derivative of the original 'The Omen' cycle, a couple of scenes could actually have been lifted from those films, given a tweak or two. However this also happens to be a highly enjoyable little horror in its own right, and is stylish and atmospheric throughout. All the actors give good performances, and young Blake Woodruff is wonderful as the demonic David. In fact he gives the best performance in the film, some achievement considering Michael Rooker is in the cast. A very fine effort. 4 out of 5 Damien reborn August 27, 2009 Sandy B. Blake Woodruff is brilliant as demonic David, the 4th star is for him. Josh Holloway does a good job and "Lost" br /fans won't be disappointed . Overall i enjoyed the movie it reminded me of an Adam Baldwin movie "Cohen and Tate" . A poor imitation??? April 5, 2008 L. Mcwilliams 0 out of 1 found this review helpful I bought this film after reading a positive review on this site, thinking it might be the elusive creepy modern horror - unfortunately, no. The characters are well cast, Josh Holloway does a good job, and the small boy is well directed, HOWEVER... The film is a mismatch of at least three other films,(The Omen, The Shining, Wilderness) and this is distracting and causes the watcher to spend more time thinking of where they have seen the various scenes before. This is not to say that the film is not watchable, cause it is, the problem is that it is neither creepy or suspenseful,it is more of a made for TV version of a serious horror. I would rate this as a good buy if you pay £4 or under, but pay any more than that and you will be left with an empty feeling - not just in your wallet!! Useless Whisper March 27, 2008 Miss G (UK) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful The basis of this story is about a couple who want to raise cash to by a property, so they hatch a plan to kidnap a child and demand a ransom. How likely is that????? The kid turns out to be some kind of devil incarnate and knocks off the kidnappers one by one. It's obvious that the ideas have come directly from "The Omen", but the boy is called David, not Damien. It even has the vicious dog "protectors" as well - it's all a bit lame really. Accompanied by a naff storyline, this film really isn't worth watching. I know that we've all seen "The Omen" films a million times over, but trust me, you'd be better off just renting them again rather than watching this, simply because they were done so much better.
