Film Information
Before Psycho, Peeping Tom, and Repulsion, there was Diabolique. With its unprecedented narrative twists and terrifying images, the film is a heart-grabbing benchmark in horror filmmaking, featuring outstanding performances by Simone Signoret, Véra Clouzot, and Paul Meurisse.
The cruel and abusive headmaster of a boarding school, Michel Delassalle, is murdered by an unlikely duo – his meek wife and the mistress he brazenly flaunts. The women become increasingly unhinged by a series of odd occurrences after Delassalle’s corpse mysteriously disappears.
Reviews
"Clouzot transports his audience into an uneasy world that, early on, implants unearthly suspicions and ghostly hints, leaving us to feel that anything is possible during the film and long after it ends." – Deep Focus Reviews
