	Amazon.com: Diabolique: DVD: Sharon Stone,Isabelle Adjani,Chazz Palminteri,Kathy Bates,Spalding Gray,Shirley ...
		This is a sexploitation thriller but not all that bad, mainly because it is played somewhat tongue-in-cheek so that the plot absurdities might be overlooked in the interest of high camp, or at least in the interest of a mild diversion, and also because the women are diabolically diverting each in her own way.
		This is a remake of Les Diaboliques (1955) starring Simone Signoret which I have not seen.
		First of all, Diabolique is not a bad movie, it just doesn't deliver the suspense and atmosphere of the original masterpiece (Les Diaboliques).

	Diabolique (1955) - A Review by David Nusair
		More than anything, Diabolique perfectly defines the term "slow build." Director Henri-Georges Clouzot takes his time in setting up the story and indeed, it's around the 30-minute mark before anything of substance happens.
		Though there are sporadic moments of dark humor (including the fate of poor schoolboy Moinet, who keeps insisting that he's talked to Michel), the film works best as a suspenseful and occasionally creepy nail-biter.
		Diabolique doesn't move a mile-a-minute, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

	Diabolique CD Reviews
		Diabolique is probably the most odd of all the bands on the Necropolis roster.
		Diabolique sound nothing like their Necropolis label mates.
		Diabolique are too dark to be pop, too smooth to be metal, and too mysterious to be hard rock.

	House of Diabolique - Definition, explanation
		Diabolique herself, a self-described "robot drag queen who does not exist", brought NYC club culture to the web through the House of Diabolique website, musing from week to week on new dance music, DJs, clubs and other aspects of New York's after-hours culture.
		The House of Diabolique has done a lot to preserve and promote the history of the NYC house sound.
		In 2001, Diabolique recounted her battle with a rare form of cancer, Burkitt's lymphoma.

	The Criterion Collection: Diabolique
		After finishing Diabolique, heralded French director-screenwriter Henri-Georges Clouzot (1907—1977) confessed that all he had intended was to make a picture that would “amuse myself” and please a young girl who hid under the covers and asked her father to frighten her with a bedtime story.
		As always, his film is strongly acted, strikingly paced for tension and suspense, and exhibits a perverse nastiness of character and environment that is oppressive and unsettling.
		Diabolique is most definitely the work of an angry artist who spent several years of his adult life in sanitariums recovering from his illness but not his cynicism.

		All of the new "Diabolique" is as uninspired as that, even though the combination of Ms.
		Even the foolproof ending of "Diabolique" has been butchered in ways that are consistent with the new film's coarseness.
		Also in "Diabolique" is Kathy Bates, who is used to give the film misplaced feminist pretensions and to deliver tasteless mastectomy jokes.

	Review: Diabolique (1996)
		Diabolique, was a taut, atmosphere-saturated thriller filled with unexpected twists and turns.
		The problem is, the original Diabolique was as much a cinematic landmark as Hitchcock's Psycho (Clouzot and Hitchcock had a tremendous influence on each other).
		A significant predicament results from updating Diabolique, since certain key events demand a level of docility from Mia that is not typically found in a nineties American woman.

	Diabolique Movie Review
		Diabolique was first made in 1955 as a suspenseful thriller with a surprise ending.
		Isabelle Adjani is a little strange and seemed out-of-place among these well-known names, but she proves that she can hold her own among these big stars with a very good performance.
		Diabolique is rated R. The movie is scary and violent.

		A significant predicament results from updating DIABOLIQUE, since certain key events demand a level of docility from Mia that is not typically found in a nineties American woman.
		Had the new film been set in the fifties, it might have worked better, because some of what happens here (such as Guy humiliating Mia by ordering her to "swallow" her food during a public dinner) rings false in a current setting.

	CD Baby: DIABOLIQUE: Uses of Disorder
		With a voice at once slippery and severe, Diabolique's frontwoman is not afraid to dredge up or rehash the unpleasantries of life.
		Formed in 2005, Diabolique is the culmination of each member's chops hard-won by time served in previous bands.
		In her song "Ambition To Go," Jean-Louis follows on the heels of those who will do anything to live in "the idea of New York." And the theme of self-delusion is carried through into tunes like the whisper-to-yell "Indie Boy" in which Jean-Louis laments her having fallen for a member of that famously impenetrable subgroup.

		The end credit contains an early example of an "anti-spoiler message", requesting the audience not to disclose the plot to others who have not seen the film.
		The writers of the novel "Celle Qui N'Etait Plus", Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac, are credited with early use, if not coinage, of the term film noir, which as also been used to describe Les Diaboliques.

	DVD Talk Review: Diabolique (1996)
		Diabolique (1996) is a pale remake of the legendary Clouzot masterwork foisted upon us by director Jeremiah S. Chechik (National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Benny and Joon, The Avengers.) His version of the film features beautiful cinematography and little else.
		The plot of Chechik's version of Diabolique is basically the same as the original.
		Diabolique is dark in tone and dark on screen as well.

		Comment: "Diabolique" is one of the most influential horror films ever made.
		There are many things that can go into the creation of a great movie but "Diabolique" reminded me that a good suspenseful mystery has a head start on most other genres.
		"Diabolique" is also gifted with great direction and acting but it is the compelling story that drew me in and kept me focussed throughout the movie.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- DIABOLIQUE
		In addition to its three strong central characters, DIABOLIQUE also features an amusing supporting performance from Kathy Bates, who plays a female police detective who looks into Guy’s "disappearance" as a means of occupying her time.
		DIABOLIQUE is presented in its proper 1.85:1 aspect ratio, plus the DVD features the anamorphic enhancement for playback on 16:9 displays.
		The transfer is a faithful rendering of the film’s "soft focus" cinematography, although there is a respectable level of detail in the image.

	Review: Diabolique (Les Diaboliques) (1955) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		With a deliciously curvy and complex plot, Diabolique is a masterpiece of suspense -- as accomplished as anything done by Hitchcock.
		Unlike many noir thrillers, Diabolique uses as much time to refine its characters as to develop the plot.
		In essence, this is the story of two women who join in an unlikely conspiracy to murder one man. The intended victim is Michel Delasalle (Paul Meurisse), a despicable person who abuses his women while flaunting his mistress in front of his wife.

	Diabolique Synopsis - Moviefone
		The greatest film that Alfred Hitchcock never made, Henri-Georges Clouzot's Diabolique is set in a provincial boarding school run by headmaster Michel Delasalle (Paul Meurisse).
		A dark, dank thriller with a much-imitated "shock" ending, Diabolique is a masterpiece of Grand Guignol suspense.
		The simple murder plot goes haywire, and Michel's corpse disappears, prompting strange rumors of his reappearance which grow more and more substantial as the film careens wildly towards its breathless conclusion.

	Diabolique (1996) : filmcritic.com Movie Review
		The original Diabolique was one of the few examples of how thrillers ought to be made...and I figured Hollywood would find some way to screw up the remake.
		It starts to get a little hairy when, after a seemingly perfect murder is pulled off, things start to seem not-so-perfect and questions over potential witnesses and the actual life-or-death-ness of Guy begin to surface.
		Stone pulls off an excellently icy performance, reminding us why audiences like her so much, and Adjani, while maintaining a look of total surprise on her face for the whole film, is too innocently cute to think anything ill of.

		DIABOLIQUE A film review by Michael John Legeros Copyright 1996 Michael John Legeros more

	Diaboliques, Les (1955)
		This movie is painful to watch, the angst-ridden actors bite and hack each other to bloody pieces, and the camera contemplates the action like a vulture, waiting for raw carcasses to dismember.
		Les Diaboliques is shot in fl and white, but as I remember it, it was all murky grey.
		I have seldom felt a stronger presence of evil, and Clouzot manages this feat without a single concession to the bloodbath that is the modern horror-movie.

		I saw that 'Diabolique' was showing on a cable movie channel, and I had heard great things about it, and so I was prepared to be impressed and intrigued, and to improve my 'cultural literacy' in the process.
		And some one else might like this version just fine on its own merits, depending on how big a Stone fan they are (it is really her movie - her character drives the events in the plot).

		The characters are a wealthy, jealous wife, a scheming mistress who pretends friendship with her, and the arrogant, smooth-talking husband.

	Tartarean Desire - Diabolique - Death metal / Doom metal / Gothic rock band from Sweden
		At the time their churning brand of doomy death metal focused on writing slow, depressive material, which would lend itself to expressing the band’s growing tendencies towards horror-movie and goth rock oriented arrangements.
		The theme of transformation is symbolized on the cover by presence of both a metamorphosing butterfly and a skin-shedding chameleon.
		Perhaps even more indicative of the emotions Diabolique portrays is the untouchable, aloof beauty of the female face on the cover - entrancingly beautiful, yet eternally out of reach, the perfect visual companion piece for the passionate music of this incredibly talented and daring outfit.

	Diabolique Black Sun Collection CD United Kingdom
		Diabolique was formed out of the ashes of Liers In Wait in early ´95, when the two guitarists Kristian Wahlin and Johan Osterberg got together writing songs.
		The band name was derived from the classical french horror movie 'Diabolique/Les Diaboliques' (1955).
		Needless to say, in the beginning Diabolique primarily drew their influences from horror movie soundtracks, but also from bands such as Black Sabbath, St Vitus, Neurosis, Swans, The Sisters Of Mercy and Fields Of The Nephilim.
