Diabolique

SEE IT, BE AMAZED AT IT, BUT...BE QUIET ABOUT IT!

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.

  • Ariella May
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.
    Rating: 2.5

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.

    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.
