Darkness Falls is a 1999 psychological drama and huis-clos written by John Howlett (from N.J. Crisp's play Dangerous Obsession) and directed by Gerry Lively. The film was shot in late 1997 in the Isle of Man. N.J. Crisp was so appalled at the end result and how his intricate plot had been turned on its head, without his permission, by the producer Alan Latham, that he insisted on having his name removed from the final print.
With his pregnant wife at death's door after a car crash, desperate husband John Barrett (Winstone) invades the home of Mark Driscoll (Dutton) and holds both Driscoll and his rich, neglected wife Sally (Fenn) hostage in order to understand the events that led to his wife ending up in a coma.
