Annabella Sciorra, Jamey Sheridan, Alan Alda, Deborah Kara Unger

Annabella Sciorra plays a Manhattan shrink with a couple of particularly troubling patients. The most haunting is a woman (Deborah Unger) with unusually kinky sexual tastes; Sciorra gets gooned out wh...( read more  read more... )en she realizes that her new boyfriend (Jamey Sheridan) is the same guy her patient has been seeing. And when the patient winds up dead, Sciorra begins looking slantwise at her boyfriend. Unfortunately, despite some spooky mood setting, this psychological thriller goes in circles and ends up nowhere, thanks to the implausible stretches of writer-director Christopher Crowe's script. Sciorra seems hollow at the film's center, though Sheridan brings a certain scary charisma to his boyfriend role and Alan Alda is solid as her psychiatric mentor. --Marshall Fine

    Some nice twists.

    4 of 5 stars for the suspense movie Whispers of the Dark. One of the hallmarks of a great suspense movie is that you don't see "who" is behind the events until the critical moment. This movie meets that standard! Lots of odd suspenseful things happening with the finger of blame g...( read more)oing in one direction, but, surprise, its another character AND you don't get this news until the last concluding scenes.

    THe story is about a lady shrink and a couple of her patiences. The lady patience has the hots for the lady shrink doctor. Next we learn that our lady shrink has a new boyfrend who happens to be the x-boyfriend of our lady patience. Throw in a couple of murders a few extra characters and things look pretty grim until we find out who really has the hots for our lady shrink.

    A very good suspense movie. Alot of adult themes and nudity. It will keep you guessing. Oh, to the credit of the writer/director, they wrap the story quickly and end without alot of extra junk. I do recommend this movie!
