WHISPERS IN THE DARK is a superb thriller. It's beautifully crafted, expertly acted and cleverly written with imaginative plot twists.
The story concerns a young female psychiatrist (Annabella Sciorra) living and practicing in New York. One of her patients is a beautiful, hyper-sexual mess (Deborah Unger) whose S&M tales arouse the psychiatrist. The psychiatrist breaks up with her lame boyfriend and takes up with a dashing pilot (Jamey Sheridan), who strikes her as an uncommonly sensitive and gentle type; when she sees her sexually insatiable patient having lunch with the pilot, the psychiatrist becomes convinced that he's the man who embarks on dangerous sexual odysseys with the patient... and when the patient turns up dead, the psychiatrist realizes she may be in danger.
The serpentine narrative is bursting with interesting characters (an obsessive cop, played by Anthony LaPaglia, a violence-prone artist, played by John Leguizamo, the psychiatrist's mentor, played by Alan Alda, etc.) as well as mystery elements that impress even when they're somewhat predictable. The entire cast is first rate and deliver stellar performances.
Don't miss WHISPERS IN THE DARK. It's an exceptional suspense tale that's wholly unworthy of its negative reviews.
