The Temp
Description: From director Tom Holland (Child's Play, Fright Night) comes a delectably dark thriller starring Timothy Hutton, Lara Flynn Boyle, Oliver Platt and Faye Dunaway.
Life in the corporate world can be murder. At Mrs. Appleby's, some people would kill to get ahead. Peter Derns (Hutton), a junior executive at Mrs. Appleby's cookie company, is afraid his future prospects are crumbling faster than the product he markets. Hope appears in the formidable form of Kris Bolin (Boyle), his new temp. Gorgeous, bright, efficient, and ambitious, Kris helps Peter develop a deliciously successful marketing campaign. But after two executives meet mysterious deaths, Peter fears that murder is in the mix ... and that his own future could end permanently due to the one person he needs to trust – his temp.
STREET DATE: JANUARY 11.
Whispers in the Dark
Description:
Manhattan psychiatrist Ann Hecker (Annabella Sciorra, Jungle Fever) is haunted by secret fantasies — recurring erotic dreams inspired by the confessions of a lustful patient (Deborah Kara Unger, Silent Hill). Seeking help, Ann confides in her mentor, Dr. Leo Green (Alan Alda, M*A*S*H), but a different sort of treatment comes into play when Ann meets Doug McDowell (Jamey Sheridan, Stephen King's The Stand), a ruggedly handsome pilot whose attentions spark a love affair beyond Ann's wildest fantasies. But when one of Ann's patients turns up dead, the clues point to Doug as the murderer. Can Ann truly trust this man whom she hardly knows? Is he after her love ... or her life?
With unrelenting, pulse-pounding suspense, Whispers In The Dark is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that will keep you guessing until its shocking, fever-pitched climax.
