Henri-Georges Clouzot’s most notorious film is still terrifying almost 60 years later. An unmerciful school master (Paul Meurisse, terrific) is murdered by his long suffering wife (Vera Clouzot) and mistress (Simone Signoret). But then strange things start to happen. Haunting, exciting thriller will you keep you guessing at every turn, right through the unforgettable finale. Hailed as one of the most suspenseful films ever made; it’s certainly one of the all time greats. A must watch.
Rating: 4/4
The remake with Adjani and Stone does not measure up to the original at all!
Definitely. It was horrible.
