Henri-George Clouzot created the ultimate horror/thriller flick 5 years before Hitchcock took a stab at it with PSYCHO. DIABOLIUQE, the 1954 version, released in 1955 could not be shown in North America until 1961 or so, so gruesome is the crime. Simone Signoret, Véra Clouzot ( Henri's wife) and Paul Meurisse are teachers at an all Boy's School. They are brilliant in their roles. I yet remember the shock I got during one horrific scene. It will never be forgotten. It is forever imprinted on my mind. The film can probably only be viewed with sub-titles, but trust me it's worth it.
