What happens

Whispers in the Dark is a 1992 American erotic thriller film written and directed by Christopher Crowe and starring Annabella Sciorra, Jamey Sheridan, Alan Alda, Jill Clayburgh, John Leguizamo, Deborah Unger and Anthony LaPaglia. It follows Manhattan psychiatrist Ann Hecker who finds herself in the midst of a homicide investigation after Eve Abergray, one of her patients, is mysteriously murdered. The film was released by Paramount Pictures on August 7, 1992, and received negative reviews from critics. It was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actor for Alan Alda. There is an unrated version available on LaserDisc, featuring a more explicit opening credits sequence and flashback scenes. Whispers in the Dark underperformed at the box office; however, like other erotic thrillers of the time, it found success in the home video market, and was a popular rental title.
