Production was completed on January 18, 1992.{{fact|date=February 2017}}

Reception

Caryn James of The New York Times said, "in its worst moments, [the film] is exploitative, with the detective flashing gruesome photos of tortured women at Ann. More often, it is so loopy it should have been played for laughs."[3] Todd McCarthy of Variety stated, "A turn-off psycho-sexual thriller, 'Whispers in the Dark' grows steadily more absurd by the reel until literally stumbling into the ocean at its climax.[4] Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film zero stars out of four, calling it "the leading candidate for the title of Worst Movie of the Year" and "so bad that it could catch on as a camp classic on college campuses this fall."[5] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a C- grade.[6] Los Angeles Times staff writer Peter Rainer called it "a textbook thriller" and stated "Doug is so Too Good to Be True that, when the inevitable murder makes its scheduled stop, [the audience] can sniff red herring a mile away. But then this movie has so many of them—including a hot-footed cop played by Anthony LaPaglia and a psychiatrist friend of Ann's played by Alan Alda—that [audiences] practically need a trawler to get through it."[7] Hal Hinson of The Washington Post wrote, "What follows can't be described without spoiling the only thing the movie has going for it: its lethal, suspenseful punch. By the time it's delivered, though, you'll probably be laughing too hard to be scared."[8]

The film presently has a score of 33% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 9 reviews, with an average grade of 4.5 out of 10.[9]

Box office

The film was released on August 7, 1992, in 1,188 theatres, making $3.2 million in its opening weekend. While it gross over $11 million,[2] it was not considered to be financially successful.[10][11]
