Diabolique

What to Know

Critics Consensus

This seedy remake of a classic French chiller goes through the motions in recreating the original's diabolical plot, but without the genuine suspense or stylistic finesse.

Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Peter Stack San Francisco Chronicle Rated: 1/4 Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Fred Goss The Advocate [An] unconvincing, uninvolving rehash. Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Sheila Reid Women in the Life Although the original French film was much more suspenseful, this one is still very good. The surprise ending alone is worth the price of admission. May 31, 2022 Full Review Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot If you've never been exposed to this plot, then there is still great fun with this film, even with all this murky, dark photography.

Tim M One of the weakest American remakes to date, Diabolique proves utterly ineffectual at crafting legitimate thrills. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Boa Lin C much better than the dated original Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review Erin B This movie reminded me how much I love Sharon Stone. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/22 Full Review dan b I liked it, it was like a corny mystery movie but it keep me interested Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review joey z I decided to buy the movie and watch it. I want my money back. I was hoping to see some action in the movie or suspense, but it was a sleepy movie. It also needs some correction on what the Rated R rating contains. I only have seen the movie's beginning with SEX, and that's it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I just turned this on because I was bored and Sharon Stone was in it. Eh... it was a movie. It looked like its age, too. Quite ridiculous, actually, but I've been giving out extra points for movies that don't drag. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
