Trust but Verify

In New York, the psychiatrist Ann Hecker (Annabella Sciorra) has her office in the Fifth Avenue and is treating the artist John Castillo (John Leguizamo), who has violent sexual desires, and the gallery owner Eve Abergray (Deborah Unger), who loves to make kinky sex with her lover. Her best friends are the lawyer Sarah Green (Jill Clayburgh) and her husband Leo Green (Alan Alda), who was a former professor and mentor of Ann and now is Ann's psychoanalyst. When Ann meets the pilot Doug McDowell (Jamey Sheridan), she dates him and falls in love with him. But soon she learns that Doug is the mysterious lover of Eve. When she discover Ann's affair with Doug, Eve goes haywire, breaks into Ann's office and steals several tapes of her clients. Ann tells to Sarah and Leo and they hire a lawyer to Ann. She decides to meet Eve to recover her tapes and when Ann arrives at Eve's house, she finds her client hanged and dead. Now the abusive NYPD detective Larry Morgenstern (Anthony LaPaglia) investigate the murder case and suspects of Doug and John.

"Whispers in the Dark" is still a great and erotic thriller from 1992. Annabella Sciorra and Deborah Unger were beautiful women in the 90's and they two make the erotic scenes work very well. The plot has man twists and a surprising conclusion, when the identity of the killer and his motives are disclosed. Unfortunately, this movie was only released on VHS in Brazil with a ridiculous title. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Gemidos de Prazer" ("Groans of Pleasure")
