    Diabolique

    Reviewed by

    The film is utter and complete trash which almost no one has seen. It is that bad. Ironically the comment previous to mine stated how fantastic this film would be. It can't hold a match to the original. Sharon Stone in the Simone Signoret role is ludicrous at best, Isabelle Adjani is a marvellous actress but one simply can't get Véra Clouzot as the victimized wife out of mind. She does what she can with a ridiculous updated script. And to top it all off, Chaz Palmatieri plays the Paul Meurisse part of headmaster. He's as bad as Sharon Stone. The original used no foul language or sexual scenes, the 1996 version has to rely on a lot of violence, offensive language and explicit sexuality AND FOR WHAT! IT IS ALL GRATUITOUS. If a film doesn't work, I guess, throw in violence and sex and people will flock to it. Not with this one. It was actually painful to listen to dialogue that could have been written by an elementary student and the direction... well, forget it! There was none! And one has never heard of that director again... writer and director designated to FILM LIMBO! A foul, nasty film whose only horror lies in viewing it!
