I have seen many horror films, but most of them do not freak me out, especially not the old ones but....these last 10 min freaked the crap out of me! I love this movie and I love how it builds it suspense! Watch it asap!

I feel like there are a lot of characters and sequences that don't contribute anything significant to the main plot and just make the pace of the film slower. Guess that's just the style of the makers and that's only an opinion.

But even if you are able to guess the plot, the sequence in the dark hall/bath is one of the more amazing and tenebrous moments i have seen so far in any movie.

Cluzot is the French master of suspense and comparisons to Hitchcock are, I think, appropriate in the case of Diabolique, which is considered his masterpiece for a reason. He manages in this to make things suspenseful that normally wouldn't be. The set-up: An abusive man shares two women who have becomes each other's support system, and they contrive to murder him and get away with it. That they succeed is no spoiler, but then his body disappears and you're left wondering if we're dealing with the supernatural, or some man-made scheme. Will your always evolving suspicions prove correct? But man, Cluzot puts you on the edge of your seat with the smallest details - an open bottle on a table, a window looking out on a pool, just the volatile husband's presence in those early scenes - you're constantly worried by something, not unlike these women are as their meticulously-planned crime starts to fall apart. Cluzot's other great film with muse and spouse Véra Clouzot, The Wages of Fear, felt a little long, but Diabolique is just the right length, extending its suspense and mystery just the right amount. It doesn't prey on your patience, but on your innate paranoia.
