What happens

Whispers is a 1990 Canadian horror film directed by Douglas Jackson and starring Victoria Tennant, Jean LeClerc, Chris Sarandon, Peter MacNeill, and Linda Sorenson. It follows a writer who, after killing her stalker, finds that he seems to have returned from beyond the grave. It is based on the 1980 novel by American suspense author Dean Koontz. Whispers was co-produced by John Dunning for Cinépix Film Properties, and filmed on location in Quebec in the fall of 1989. It was distributed by Dunning's C/FP Distribution, who released it theatrically at 20 cinemas in Canada on December 7, 1990.
