    Wish they still made movies like this now!!!

    The plot is much better than any of the superhero that is so popular these days. This is an underrated gem which needs to be viewed by many. A good suspense thriller has a lot of red herrings to confuse the viewer and this story had plenty of them. The movie is engaging and interesting enough to keep the viewer guessing in anticipation.

    Sadly, commercial movies with fantasized superheroes who always save the day in the end is what 2010s will always be known for.

    Intense thriller

    Wow, who'd thought it. A 90's underground thriller with unknown cast and title; nobody would expect a big thing out of it. But that's when we're wrong.

    This film is hugely entertaining; the story develops very quickly and intensely, the writer/director is really professional on how to get the spectator. The story is original and unpredictable, you never know what is gonna happen next. The outcome is the most impossible to guess, I really doubt anyone can find it out before the last 15 minutes. The whole thing is similar to "Never Talk To Strangers", both have a great twist in the end. It's really such a shame that there aren't even 1000 voters on this title's page, this film deserved to be much more recognized. See it if you like an intense suspense!

    Edit: I have to complaint about Brazilian's title. They translated it to something like "Whispers of Pleasure", and I saved this film on my television after it was on a cable channel. My parents saw it's title and surely thought I recorded some kind of porn, when actually it was just a thriller.

    Who's the doctor and who's the patient here?

    Entertaining story. But hopefully it's not indicative of the world of psychiatry. Some real on-the-edge folks here. Even the police lieutenant is a ripe candidate for analysis - though to judge from the film you wonder if analysis accomplishes anything useful.

    For the most part good acting work put in by a first rate cast. Leave the analyzing to the movie and enjoy the ride.

    Priceless!!!

    This is actually a rather dull film for the most part---the red herrings are preposterous and uninteresting and the sexuality never goes beyond cheap titillation. It hints at more interesting things and nine times out of ten it punks out at exploring those intriguing themes, going for the cheap thrill every opportunity. And it's not that thrilling, period.

    But the ending is amazing. It kept me laughing for weeks after I'd seen the movie. So ludicrous and out of nowhere it comes off like a bad joke, or incomparable idiocy. It still makes me giggle every time I think about it. I can barely type right now.

    See this movie for the last thirty minutes. It's worth it.

    Contrived but absorbing.

    A pretty standard mystery thriller, but absorbing nonetheless. The sometimes impossibly contrived plot is chock-full of strange coincidences and red herrings, but the film is so competently and professionally made that you can ignore the script's weaknesses and enjoy the work of a director who seems to have a genuine feel for the genre. Most of the performances are also very good, giving weight to their roles and making the movie more respectable. (**1/2)

    • Quotes

      Eve Abergray: We had a fight. A horrible, horrible fight.

      Ann Hecker: A physical fight?

      Eve Abergray: He started torturing me. Bring me close and stopping and bring me close again. And then he stopped. And took his necktie and tied my hands together in front of me. He had a rope, which he'd strung over a rafter. And he put a chair under it and ordered me to stand on it. There's a noose on the rope, and... he... told me to put my neck into it. He took a polaroid of me. And the flash blinded me. But when I could see again he was behind me, whispering in my ear. He told me that he owned me, and that he could kick the chair out from me and I'd hang. And then... he... knelt in front of me, and begang to make love to me as I stood there. I've never come so hard in all my life. I just convulsed.
