Review of Diabolique

Diabolique (1996)
7/10
Just as sinister as "Basic Instinct"
15 March 2006
Sharon Stone is at it again! In "Diabolique" she helps a murder. Mia Baran(Isabelle Adjani) and Nicole Horner(Stone) conspire to rid a school of a headmaster, Guy Baran(Chazz Palminteri). They drown him in a bathtub, then weigh him down with a keg. A bathtub? They could do better than that. That death-look was pretty real to me, until he removed the contacts. And Sharon look really good wearing the leopard print bra. Black, red or blue would be nice, but they wouldn't be "wild" enough for the movie. Mia had a bad heart, and her heart was giving out in a few scenes. Of course Guy and Nicole would be the real conspirators until Guy got to greedy for his own good. And he met his end to a pitchfork. Not just his right eye died, the fake drowning should have been planned better to me I think. This movie didn't reach the standards in the box office like "Basic Instinct" did. To me, it was just a toner version without all the blood. And it was still good to me. Rating 2.5 out of 5 stars.
