Darkness Falls is a 1999 British drama film by John Howlett, very loosely adapted from N. J. Crisp's psychological thriller Dangerous Obsession and directed by Gerry Lively.[1] The film was shot in late 1997 on the Isle of Man.

Plot

[edit]

With his pregnant wife at death's door after a car crash, desperate husband John Barrett (Ray Winstone) invades the home of Mark Driscoll (Tim Dutton) and holds both Driscoll and his rich, neglected wife Sally (Sherilyn Fenn) hostage in order to understand the events that led to his wife ending up in a coma.
