1* AdaptationDisplacement: The original novel has largely been forgotten.
2* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[spoiler:Does Michel actually love Nicole, or did he woo her because she was useful in getting rid of Christina?]]
3* FridgeLogic: [[spoiler:Given the reveal that the entire plan by Nicole and Christina to murder Michel is actually a plan by Nicole and ''Michel'' to murder ''Christina'' (via exploitng her heart condition by literally scaring her to death)... you'd think there'd be easier ways to give someone with a heart condition a heart attack.]]
4* HarsherInHindsight: Christina is stated to have a heart condiction, [[spoiler:and actually dies of a heart attack at the end, her heart condition turning out to be a plot point]]. Five years later, her actress VĂ©ra Clouzot died of a heart attack.
5* LesYay: Hinted at in the 1955 film, explicit in the 1996 film.
6* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler:The "dead" Michel climbing out of the tub with white eyes is effective even now.]]
7%%* ParanoiaFuel
8* TheWoobie: Christina is married to an abusive asshole, seems to have no friends except her own husband's mistress, and has a heart condition which progressively worsens as the story unfolds (thanks to all the stress and paranoia she's put through). [[spoiler:And then she gets murdered by said husband and mistress, who have been working together against her the whole time.]]
