The Diabolical isn’t a picture for the brainless fan who just wants blood and guts. On the contrary this one is aimed at those who cherish the chance to decipher a well-told story with many unexpected turns. You don’t just watch The Diabolical, you study it. And that study pays off, as Alistair Legrand’s debut is one of those captivating films to see release in 2015.
It’ll keep anyone planning a Halloween all-nighter awake and interested.
With such an imaginative script this film is destined for infinite revisits as you’ll want to pinpoint all the telltale signs and clues you missed out on.…Based on this first outing, I can’t wait to see how Legrand follows up his creatively creepy debut.
