With a deliciously curvy and complex plot, Diabolique is a masterpiece of suspense -- as accomplished as anything done by Hitchcock.
February 24, 2017
Rarely if ever has such a wallow in the sickeningly macabre been passed for distribution in this country.
June 17, 2011
...[a] demonic clockwork thriller.
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.
March 04, 2016
... widely regarded as one of the most terrifying films of all time.
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.
January 29, 2012
One of the best horror-thrillers of the classic era, and a massively inspirational piece of cinema.
January 26, 2006
A great piece of Guignol misanthropy.
January 05, 2012
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.

This is one of the dandiest mystery dramas that has shown here in goodness knows when.
August 13, 2007
Although this has a few hallucinating bits of terror, the film is primarily a creaky-door type of melodrama.
