همسات في الظلام

I'm glad I stayed up to watch this one - I'd actually turned on the television to watch the previous movie that night and fortunately decided to keep on the same channel. I wasn't familiar with any of the cast before this movie, but the script was well written and the actors portrayed all the characters well. This is definitely a movie where you have to keep your brain switched on to "thinking" mode to enjoy properly. Hardly surprising when almost all the characters are psychiatrists, detectives or patients on the therapists couch. The main theme of the movie is what happens when love is blind and you trust your instincts rather than the sober voices of friends around you. In a rather chilling twist, you are also made to consider just how much you should trust your friends who may have their own ulterior motives behind their apparent concern. I along with, I imagine, most people watching this movie had the ending all figured out in my head - or so I thought until one of the best twists I can think of in a thriller - and was just waiting to see how and when they were going to prove me correct. I was, of course, completely wrong and a dramatic turn of events towards the end made this a thoroughly enjoyable movie which left me analysing the analysts long after the final credits had rolled. For those who enjoy this genre, I would highly recommend "Whispers In The Dark". I rated it at 8 out of 10 after one viewing, although I may have to watch again to decide if I should have rated it a 9. Definitely worth a night in.

Whispers in the Dark

Earth to whomever? This movie is fiction. Like fiction on the silver screen, TV, or a book, it is not meant to educate. It is meant to entertain. Anyone failing to grasp this fundamental truth should not rent this movie or watch TV or watch 99% of the movies ever made. They should, instead, watch documentaries. Of course the killer is obvious from the beginning. He and the other actors turn in average (at best) performances. Annabella Sciorra was 28 when this movie was made. She was a good choice for an entertaining movie. Yes, she would "supernova" in The Hand That Rocks The Cradle when compared to this movie. Yet that means not that her performance was poor; indeed, she shines in Whispers In The Dark. Overall it is an enjoyable movie for those that realize that fiction is almost always predictable when it appears in a movie. It entertains, and that is what it should do.

"Whispers in the Dark" clearly was an opportunity to cash in on "Basic Instinct's" success. The film deals both with psychotherapy, and excessive amounts of sex. The character I loved most, and wished that Christopher Crowe would have went into more detail to is Eve (played by sexy Deborah Unger). She brought a sort of sexy aura and comic relief when she appeared on screen. The most funniest scene, however, is when ________ gets hit in the head with ________. I won't say anymore. You'll just have to do the research. 8/10 1992 103 minutes Rated: R CC.

This is a tacky, low-grade mystery film that is far better acted than most of its kind. It's about a lady psychiatrist with some really messed-up patients who gets caught up in a murder mystery when one patient becomes a suspect. Nearly all of the characters in this story are serious head cases. One hopes no major city has a preponderance of people like that. A lot of twists and turns occur in the story. A few of them are compelling, most of them improbable. Some genuinely talented actors were rounded up to appear in this film. Largely as a result, the film is watchable, but it's just as miss-able. Only die hard fans of murder mysteries will enjoy this film.

The plot is much better than any of the superhero that is so popular these days. This is an underrated gem which needs to be viewed by many. A good suspense thriller has a lot of red herrings to confuse the viewer and this story had plenty of them. The movie is engaging and interesting enough to keep the viewer guessing in anticipation. Sadly, commercial movies with fantasized superheroes who always save the day in the end is what 2010s will always be known for.

I think this movie was incredibly underrated. I thought there were many standout performances..Annabella Sciorra, Deborah Unger and Jamie Sheridan amongst others. Annabella Sciorra gives a beautifully sensitive performance. If you liked her in The Hand That Rocks The Cradle you will love her in this film. Deborah Unger is absolutely mesmerizing in her role. Her best performance ever. Jamie Sheridan is very credible as the romantic yet mysterious male lead. I thought it was beautifully directed and worked very well on many levels...suspenseful, sexy, dramatic. I thought the ending was totally unpredictable. For a 'small' film that most people have never heard of I think it was fantastic and would highly recommend it. I can never go past it when it is on cable. Must have seen in at least 15-20 times. Check it out!

This is actually a rather dull film for the most part---the red herrings are preposterous and uninteresting and the sexuality never goes beyond cheap titillation. It hints at more interesting things and nine times out of ten it punks out at exploring those intriguing themes, going for the cheap thrill every opportunity. And it's not that thrilling, period. But the ending is amazing. It kept me laughing for weeks after I'd seen the movie. So ludicrous and out of nowhere it comes off like a bad joke, or incomparable idiocy. It still makes me giggle every time I think about it. I can barely type right now. See this movie for the last thirty minutes. It's worth it.
