Whispers in the Dark has been mostly forgotten as far as early 90's erotic thrillers are concerned and some of that is for good reason. While the concept is strong and the actors are great (Annabella Sciorra and Deborah Unger being the standouts), the film's pacing ebbs and flows a bit too much and the film is never as sexy as it wants to be.
It is memorable for it's completely off the wall last act which turns what has been a fairly down to earth thriller into something that wouldn't be out of place in a teenage slasher film with wine bottles smashed over people's heads and seaside chases with gardening instruments.
