Darkness Falls is a 1999 drama film by John Howlett (loosely adapted on N. J. Crisp's psychological thriller Dangerous Obsession) and directed by Gerry Lively.

The film was shot in late 1997 on the Isle of Man.

Plot

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.

However, N.J. Crisp was so appalled at the film adaptation of his play and how his famously intricate plot had been turned on its head without his permission by a producer, Alan Latham that he insisted on having his name removed from the final print.
