One of the best horror-thrillers of the classic era, and a massively inspirational piece of cinema.

So dependent on visuals, many horror films do not wear well except as kitsch. But crafted fright films like Diabolique maintain their power by creating atmosphere through what is not seen.

...[a] demonic clockwork thriller.
March 04, 2016
... widely regarded as one of the most terrifying films of all time.
May 20, 2003
This is one of the dandiest mystery dramas that has shown here in goodness knows when.
February 24, 2017
Rarely if ever has such a wallow in the sickeningly macabre been passed for distribution in this country.
January 01, 2000
[Creates] a diabolical double-reverse plot that keeps the audience guessing right up to the thoroughly implausible final scene.
August 13, 2007
Cruel, sour, and -- unfortunately -- very effective.
June 30, 2014
Like the greater of Hitchcock's essential films, the movie is a skillful marriage of ingredients that tread dangerously close to the edge of reasoning while still absorbing them in impeccable artistic standards.
January 26, 2006
A great piece of Guignol misanthropy.
January 01, 2000
With a deliciously curvy and complex plot, Diabolique is a masterpiece of suspense -- as accomplished as anything done by Hitchcock.
August 13, 2007
Although this has a few hallucinating bits of terror, the film is primarily a creaky-door type of melodrama.
