Review of Diabolique (1996) by Christopher L — 05 Dec 2006
Starring: Sharon Stone, Isabelle Adjani, Chazz Palminteri, Shirley Knight, and Kathy Bates.
Directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik.
Written by Don Roos.
Rated [b]R[/b] (for violence/terror, sexuality and language).
Running time approximately 1 hour 47 minutes.
Jeremiah Chechik's remake of [i]Diabolique[/i] is a dreadful exercise in cliche, repeat, cliche again. The film is boring, predictable, and poorly acted, directed and written. Stone has some firce dialogue, given her typical "bitch" role, but the majority of the film is dreadful to watch. (You know, I've noticed that when I write about a bad film, my writing isn't all that interesting...kind of like the films I'm describing). [b]*1/2 (out of ****) C-[/b].
