Diabolique

This thriller from Henri‑Georges Clouzot, which shocked audiences in Europe and the U.S., is the story of two women- the fragile wife and the willful mistress of the sadistic headmaster of a boys' boarding school- who hatch a daring revenge plot. With its unprecedented narrative twists and terrifying images, Diabolique is a heart-grabbing benchmark in horror filmmaking, featuring outstanding performances by Simone Signoret, Véra Clouzot, and Paul Meurisse.
