Netflix fans are “on the edge of their seats” after watching the first trailer for The Whisper Man.
Netflix has finally dropped the trailer for The Whisper Man, a horror film about an eight-year-old boy’s abduction with connections to a decades-old case to a convicted serial killer.
The film sees the boy’s dad Tom Kennedy (played by Adam Scott) get back in touch with his estranged father and retired detective Pete Willis (Robert De Niro) to find the youngster as well as the truth.
The Whisper Man is set to be released on Friday, August 28, so there isn’t too long left before author Alex North’s best-selling novel remake is finally ready to stream.
What’s even more exciting about the trailer’s debut is that it teases the film’s impressive cast.
