Abusive husband Guy Baran is a marked man, for both his wimpy wife Mia, AND his icy mistress Nicole are conspiring to kill him. One night, they put their plan into effect, as they poison Guy, drown him in the bathtub, then dump his body into a mucky swimming pool. But when the pool is later drained, Guy's body is not there. And a local detective is growing suspicious of Mia and Nicole. So where is that body? Is someone else involved in Guy's death? Is one murderess trying to frame the other? Or is Guy still alive?

The new Diabolique mostly dispenses with subtlety, contenting itself with regularly scheduled cathartic jolts that pass for suspense in our degraded culture.

If it makes at least one person search out and discover the original version, then it's all worth it.

Chechik fails to create any real suspense or thrills and does not seamlessly juggle the serious thriller aspects with the black comedy

Silly update of the French classic; the ending is an unforgivable cop-out.
