Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Oct 16, 2015
"The Diabolical" is a tepid horror-thriller that never manages to sell, much less clarify, its potentially ambitious concept. Go to Full Review
Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com Oct 16, 2015
2/4
None of the elements-the scary stuff, the psychological drama, the family-dynamic crises-really deliver the wallop necessary to provide truly memorable horror fare. Go to Full Review

3/5
Nothing out of the ordinary, but it'll keep anyone planning a Halloween all-nighter awake and interested. Go to Full Review

4/10
An utterly contrived reveal leads to everything going completely mental, as the film tries desperately to be a dozen different things at once. Go to Full Review
Deirdre Crimmins Film Thrills Aug 20, 2018
Easily one of the more ambitious films I have seen from a first time director. Go to Full Review

By the time things do spark to life, even the most Red Bull-fuelled of viewers will feel themselves dozing off. Go to Full Review

George S Mar 3, 2019 Decent movie, unexpected plot twist. Felt the acting was done well for the most part.
Oct 28, 2018 Good movie I thought. It was different I like different
Abraham P Sep 16, 2018 This movie kept me interested until the end. The cast was good and I loved that it was not the typical sci-fi movie. Interesting plot twist at the end, but it did call for a little more explanation of the time traveling. See more
Sep 11, 2018 Once you know the twist, any scary factor it might have had is out the window. That being said, I did not find this scary or even spooky. I'm no expert, but I don't think that is how [blank] works! [blank] = the twist. The acting was okay, I guess. I liked Ali Larter in Resident Evil (a nostalgic franchise for me), so that is the reason I decided to watch this. Cliche elements, predictable, and slow paced. Don't get me wrong, I love a good slow burn horror film. This isn't one that I would call a good slow burn. See more
Aug 26, 2018 A slow storyline but it has a nice twist at the end. Not bad at all.
Hermione S Jun 19, 2018 i made an account just to tell you not to watch the movie. if it isn't that they can't figure out how to drink water stupidity than it's the timeline paradox where "If X happens to Y than Z could never happen" and if Z didn't happen, i shouldn't be watching the movie.
