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.

She seeks advice from her former medical school instructors, Leo Green and his wife Sarah, both psychologists, over the recurring dreams.

Detective Morgenstern, the officer presiding over the investigation, informs Ann that Eve died from a skull fracture, not from the hanging, suggesting she was murdered.

Morgenstern arrives and attempts to reason with Johnny, who claims he has an alibi for Eve's murder; when Ann convinces him to come off the ledge, he accidentally falls to his death.

In conversation with Doug's mother, Ann is disturbed to learn that his ex-wife, Jenny, hung herself several years before on Christmas.

Later, over dinner, a drunken Leo openly admits to having killed Eve, and claims he had gone to her home to retrieve Ann's stolen tapes.

Ann flees to the beach, and is pursued by a belligerent Leo, who trips her by using a pole hook on her leg before attempting to drown her.

Due to severe cold weather in Massachusetts at the time, some of the filming of the water front scenes was done in Sebastian, Florida.
