This movie is a perfect followup to Psycho -- almost as perfect a double feature as It Takes Two and New York Minute. Les Diaboliques does to bathtubs what Psycho did to showers. That is, it makes you want to take one so you could interact with hot murderers. Don't even tell me you haven't had dreams about Anthony Perkins? Or Ms. Simone Signoret? The deal is these people are babes, so you should watch both these movies.Anyway, Les Diaboliques is one of my favorite movies. Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, it stars two ladies [Clouzot's wife Vera Clouzot and the afore-mentioned Simone] who are plotting to kill a dude who has wronged them. Maybe they kill him, maybe they don't, maybe he haunts them, I don't want to ruin anything. Let me just tell you that this is pretty creepy and pleasantly suspenseful. Also, it's way French and way the inspiration for Hitch's 1960 masterpiece.
