Dark Whispers - Volume 1 is a horror anthology film that features eight segments, each directed by a different female Australian director. The book of dark whispers acts as a connecting thread between the segments, as Clara, played by Andrea Demetriades, reads through it and discovers the bizarre and unsettling stories within.
The segments range in themes and styles, from a horror twist on a grieving mother's desperation (directed by Megan Riakos) to a supernatural spin on the traumas of sharehouse living (directed by Kaitlin Tinker). Other stories tackle topics like existential dread, cults, and the dangers of online dating.
The directors, each with their unique style and approach to horror, bring their own perspective to the project. The cast includes a mix of well-known Australian actors, such as Asher Keddie and Anthony LaPaglia, as well as up-and-coming talent.
Dark Whispers - Volume 1 premiered at the Sydney Film Festival in 2019 and received positive reviews for its diverse range of stories and talented female creators. The film explores the darker corners of the human psyche and provides a fresh perspective on the horror genre.
