Diabolique

<span style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: arboria, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Henri-Georges Clouzot’s masterful thriller remains one of the most influential suspense films ever made, famously inspiring Alfred Hitchcock’s <i>Psycho</i>. Shocking audiences on both sides of the Atlantic upon its release, DIABOLIQUE follows a frail wife and her husband’s mistress as they plot the murder of the cruel and domineering boarding school headmaster. What follows is a masterclass in tension, filled with unforgettable twists and haunting imagery that helped shape the modern horror and psychological thriller genres.
