Diabolique is a 1996 American psychological thriller film directed by Jeremiah Chechik, starring Sharon Stone, Isabelle Adjani, Chazz Palminteri, and Kathy Bates. The plot follows the wife and mistress of an abusive schoolmaster who find themselves stalked by an unknown assailant after murdering the schoolmaster and disposing of his body. The film is a remake of the French film Les Diaboliques (1955) directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, which was based on the novel She Who Was No More (French: Celle qui n'était plus) by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac. Don Roos adapted the screenplay while Clouzot received credit for his original screenplay that he had collaborated on with others.
