Diabolique (1996 film)
Diabolique is a 1996 American psychological thriller film directed by Jeremiah Chechik, starring Sharon Stone, Isabelle Adjani, Chazz Palminteri, and Kathy Bates.While en route to the school, Nicole crashes Guy's car in a pileup on the interstate, but the wicker box goes unnoticed by authorities.The women arrive at the school in the middle of the night, and dump Guy's corpse in the unkempt swimming pool on the property, staging his death as an accidental drowning.They exit the pool and are confronted by Shirley, who punches Mia in the face; willing to cover for the women, she explains it will help prove self-defense in Guy's murder.[3] Janet Maslin enjoyed "the spectacle of Ms. Stone marching triumphantly toward the Dragon Lady stage of her career" but lamented the heavy-handed script and direction.[4] Kenneth Turan compared the choice of Jeremiah Chechik to "assigning Captain Kangaroo to direct 'The Silence of the Lambs'”, concluding, "the entire picture has a clunky, hand-me-down feeling.
