Episode 155 - Diabolique

Published: Aug. 12, 2021, 8 a.m.

Let’s do it like the French do! “Diabolique,” or as its known in France, “Les Diabolique,” is a suspenseful, supernatural, murder-mystery thriller from the mid-1950’s... a twisted and turning, tense tale of deception that, although not without a few issues we address, ultimately was a really well-constructed yarn, with some memorably moody black and white cinematography to boot. Earning a double “rent,” it’s another one that’s considered a classic for good reason.
