Whisper focuses on exploring technological anxiety within the horror genre. By featuring a woman of color in the lead role, the film breaks away from traditional horror norms. However, the narrative lacks the depth to move beyond basic representation and does not actively challenge social hierarchies or explore multi-layered identities. While the casting provides a necessary shift in visibility, the story remains centered on supernatural elements rather than progressive social commentary.
