Here I explain (with clips) what I love about Henri-Georges Cluzot’s 1955 horror-fused French thriller, Diabolique! Stars Véra Clouzot, Simone Signoret, Paul Meurisse.
I remember watching this movie and absolutely not expecting what happens in the next scene, and then the next, and then the next. Also his is such a high quality channel. Love how it's a frank discussion of older films without going all in on spoilers, while also praising the aspects of it. Had no idea the director had so many other great films (that I must check out this moment!) And as for my favorite thriller - probably Akira Kurosawa's The Bad Sleep Well. This is actually my favorite Kurosawa film and it is the only film that I've ever almost had to pause because my heart was beating too fast. It makes me sad that this doesn't get as much love as his other films because the blocking in this film is just amazing.
If you’re having trouble finding it, there looks to be a couple of people who have uploaded it to RUclips. The video quality seemed pretty decent at first glance. Otherwise, I guess I’d just keep an eye out for it.
Really good watch. Didn't disappoint, 9 out of 10 for sure.
Excellent review as always! You've persuaded me to add this to my watchlist for this month.
My favorite thriller is probably Night of The Hunter.
I’m glad to hear that! The Night of the Hunter is one of my favorite films too!

Thanks! The Bad Sleep Well is a great choice!
I really want to see the movie but I’m having a hard time finding it.
