Reviews
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
Why do Hollywood filmmakers keep messing around with and screwing up past successes?
