| "The Silvergleam Whistle is well produced, with nice creepy touches throughout. It speaks well of Williamson as a filmmaker." Moriarty, AINTITCOOL.com |
| "The Silvergleam Whistle is an express train to terror!" Stuart Gordon, Director of RE-ANIMATOR |
| "Polished, well-directed and scary. Genuine jumps and plenty of impressive chills. The Silvergleam Whistle pranced away with my vote for best short -- it blew most of the competition away." |
| "Ultra Eerie. More refined and much more like a full-length feature than most short films that I’ve seen. An impressive film that is spooky and entertaining. Whether he sticks with the horror genre or not, I’m looking forward to his next movie." Craig Hamann, Cult Cuts Magazine |

| "A very accomplished work that shows great command over the genre. Very solid, and genuinely creepy." Larry Fessenden, Director of WENDIGO |
| "Mike Williamson creates mounting suspense with The Silvergleam Whistle." The Boston Phoenix |
| "Great movie. Very atmospheric and some great scare moments." Rod Gudino President/Editor-In-Chief RUE MORGUE Magazine |
| "THE SILVERGLEAM WHISTLE has had a great Festival run and made noise everywhere its played. It's a highly recommended must see film." Enigma Films.Com |
| "One of the finest shorts I've ever seen. Full out studio level production, excellent acting and an original story. It would make a fine feature length film, one I'd dearly love to see. With Luck, Mike Williamson will soon be directing it. Silvergleam Whistle is best not watched alone." |
| "Sudden twists and horrifying reversals. The level of horror and suspense built continuously. " |

| "Think of a campfire horror tale. A really, really good one. The type you heard as a child, huddled closely with two or three others on a cool October night. The kind that frightened you in all the ways that are good to be frightened. Now, put it on 35mm film, with beautiful cinematography, FX beyond what you've seen in a short film, and a score by Richard Band, and you have The Silvergleam Whistle." Matthew Foster, Foster on Film.com |
| "THE SILVERGLEAM WHISTLE was my favorite film at the HALLOWEEN HORROR PICTURE SHOW Film Festival, and it was the shortest! It has a really classic look to it. I really enjoyed it." Crazed fan boy.Com |
