Diabolic is a mixed bag: some of the acting is extremely dicey and the narrative stumbles badly in the back half, but lead Elizabeth Cullen and the surprisingly bloody last act makes it a soft recommend

Diabolic’s unsettling take on religious horror has several scares and some interesting ideas but doesn’t quite know what to do with them.

Even though the writing is erratic, Cullen is consistently fantastic. Along with being frightened, she is angry and frustrated. Since Emotionally, she has layers, making her much more interesting. The pairing makes for a satisfying watch.

It also features decent cinematography and a strong performance from Elizabeth Cullen. However, the muddled plot, conflicting messaging, and tame jump scares ruin just about everything else.

3.5/5

It’s a film that struggles a bit with its execution, but by the end, it’s stuck the landing so thoroughly that you basically forget the flaws are there, leaving you with memories of great scares and some truly brutal kills.

2/5

A movie that has the right setting and develops the right tone, but that lacks the narrative freshness or genre punch to stand out from the crowd.

A creepy witch film involving Mormons that is slow paced but the third act definitely delivers with an Evil Dead like vibe!!!

★★★★★ Diabolic is a visually striking and tightly crafted thriller that blends noir style with modern storytelling to captivating effect. The cinematography and costume design create a bold, atmospheric world while the sharp pacing and layered plot keep the tension consistently high. Must watch horror of 2026!!!
