“Spreading Darkness” (*1/2 out of four) was a fairly awful melodrama about a corrupt CEO (Eric Roberts) who begins to suffer a mental breakdown and thinks he is being stalked by his former victims and his psychiatrist (Dominique Swain) who may be even more loony than he is. You may endure a mental breakdown if you make it to the end of this mess as well. Roberts is still an excellent character actor but it’s unpleasant junk like this that killed his career. The kind of movie that makes you want to take a shower immediately afterwards.
