An eerie whistling sound at the rocky beach cove of a Japanese village, rumored to be coming from the bullet hole in the skull of a dead WW2 soldier lodged somewhere in the cliffs. I think the movie itself is about a small boy that is sent to live in the village, but mostly I just remember the whistling skull premise which might be referenced in the title.

Yesss! Thank you so much!! I swear I tried googling so many different versions of that. Crazy it has no reviews.
Something about the premise really stuck with me for some reason even though I think I must have watched this like 10 years ago when it was a “random suggestion” on surrealmoviez. I was starting to think it was really a phantom dream figment memory and I should just write the story myself lol.
