When Clara discovers her deceased mother's revered 'Book of Dark Whispers', she can't stop reading the strange stories within its mystical pages. Each weird tale reveals a new facet of the twisted human psyche... or the not-so-human, as the case may be. From the horror of grief to sharehouse living disaster, from existential dread to right-swiping vampires, there's something for all tastes; as long as those tastes are twisted! Starring Andrea Demetriades, Asher Keddie, Anthony Lapaglia, and Bree Desborough, the Dark Whispers horror anthology is brought to you by eleven female directors from across Australia.

When appreciated separately... there's distinctive artistry and promise in each chapter.

Never forgets to stitch its individual parts together and brandish an overall perspective.

4/5

It is great to see horror projects that show that great horror cinema is about compelling ideas involving the human condition that make us tick and not just about copious amounts of blood and gore and Dark Whispers - Vol. 1 absolutely delivers.

While not everything here will be to everyone's taste, the anthology is bursting with ideas and energetic visual approaches.

This is a fantastic indie horror anthology and I'm anxiously awaiting "Volume 2" down the road, as I assume Riakos is curating even more excellent female filmmakers for yet another rousing gallery of horror stories.
