The new Diabolique mostly dispenses with subtlety, contenting itself with regularly scheduled cathartic jolts that pass for suspense in our degraded culture.

If it makes at least one person search out and discover the original version, then it's all worth it.

Chechik fails to create any real suspense or thrills and does not seamlessly juggle the serious thriller aspects with the black comedy

Another pointless remake of a film that was nearly perfect to begin with.

Silly update of the French classic; the ending is an unforgivable cop-out.
