The Midnight Sky (2020)
Haven't read so many whiny fanboy reviews since Dr Who became female
This is a complex sci-fi drama, not a shoot-em up action film. If you want Mad Max 27 then this isn't the film for you. If you want to see people actually dealing with emotions and disastrous situations and you're able to extrapolate from the information given, then you might enjoy it. The plot is understandable, if subtle at times, and the acting good.
You will have to do a bit of thinking and use your imagination since there is no exposition of the catastrophe but this is about one man in the aftermath. Who does he explain too? The silent child? The camera? The science is probably a bit off and some scenes are unlikely but no more than in most other films; nothing to compare with Kenneth Cranham's saving Liam Neeson in Under Suspicion!
Whistle and I'll Come to You (2010)
Very good but it's not Whistle & I'll Come to You
This is an excellent and atmospheric film in its own right; the only problem I have with it is the title, it's superfluous, the whistle doesn't exist in any form and there is very little in common with the original story.
The theme of a man staying in a small out of season seaside hotel, who finds something which was hidden and is followed by and dreams of a mysterious figure remain but the reason for his presence in the hotel, the nature of his find, the nature and behaviour of the ghost and the end result are all altered.
If you change the plot and the theme why bother retaining an irrelevant title?
