Only trouble is, 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. Read full review

The Diabolical is a tepid horror-thriller that never manages to sell, much less clarify, its potentially ambitious concept. Read full review

That lets Diabolical join the burgeoning ranks of half-hearted horror films that most of us don’t get around to watching because there’s not much reward for doing so. Read full review

It might be asking too much for The Diabolical to fully live up to its cheesy-ominous title, but the sheer unadulterated inanity of these proceedings suggests that it'll soon be teleported to the far corners of the B-movie streaming-video abyss. Read full review

Well, I think the movies was pretty good. I believe that they will have no choice but to make a second one because of the ending. With the second one to be a little bit more scary and give more info as to why this family is utterly important. And people this is not a horror per say movie,Well, I think the movies was pretty good. I believe that they will have no choice but to make a second one because of the ending. With the second one to be a little bit more scary and give more info as to why this family is utterly important. And people this is not a horror per say movie, it is more of a dramatic action with a little bit of scary to it. A lot of critics have lost their touch on giving reviews on movies and even tv shows.… Expand

A very inventive and interesting film with some great effects and a unique plot. Don't go into this expecting horror only. It has more of a Sci/fi drama flavor to it.

Man oh man, does this movie suffer from an identity crisis or what? It starts off as a paranormal horror movie and then close to the end it shifts over to sci-fi horror with the concept of time paradoxes and teleportation.

Nothing is EVER explained in a way that would be satisfactory inMan oh man, does this movie suffer from an identity crisis or what? It starts off as a paranormal horror movie and then close to the end it shifts over to sci-fi horror with the concept of time paradoxes and teleportation.

Nothing is EVER explained in a way that would be satisfactory in the least. Why did the father leave? What did he do? Is he still alive? Besides Jacob actually being one of the manifestations from the future from teleportation technology tests, what were the other monsters? Where did they come from and why are they trying to kill the family?

Terrible film.… Expand
