Cult horror with amazing sets and lighting and a driving score. Slightly overaught with some patchy acting but chilling none the less.

Classic horror by Dario Argento. The film is mesmerizing with Argento's brilliant use of lighting and cinematography which creates an eerie mood. The soundtrack by Goblin is brilliant as well. It's easy to see and hear the influence this film has had on various filmmakers in the horror genre.

MCT:August 9, 2008La mejor película de Dario Argento, bastante tenebrosa, una obra de arte, es impresionantemente buena la dirección artística de la cinta, las luces, las texturas, las formas, los colores, todo!.
Imprescindible para los amantes del cine de horror, una de las pocas películas que de verdad me han provocado ñañaras. -

korku filmlerinden beklentim hiç bir zmaan hikaye senaryo mantik olmadigi içün ve tek istegim bilgisayar efekti bulundurmamasi dolayisiyle 80 öncesi filmler ve monolog efekleri kötü oyunculuklari sevdigim için ayrica mükemmel bir dekorun da bonus olarak bu filmde karsima çiktigi için ben bu filme 4 yildiz veririm.

MCT:July 13, 2008why is this a horror classic, i don't know. given all the hype (and even personal recommendations), i was expecting much more, but was extremely let down. sure, visually, it was pretty cool (for the first half hour, and then the effect lost its efficacy). but just because the movie had cool lighting doesn't save the story (or lack thereof) and horrible acting and dubbing. oh, and that piece of exposition by the psychologist was entirely ridiculous.
overall, this movie is a classic example of putting lipstick on a pig. -
MCT:July 13, 2008This movie is horrendously bad. It does have a cult following, apparently, but one must assume that the "cult" following is because this movie is so bad.
Plot holes galore, editing that makes no sense, story sub-plots that begin but never complete, a murder at the beginning which is confusing due to the construction of the movie.
I could go on and on, but this story and film is a complete mess.
Just because this film director is from Italy doesn't mean it's "art." Yes, the film is dated as well (it's from the '70s), but this criticism is not based on that.
If you want to watch a horror film and have a bunch of laughs at the movie's expense, this is the one. Just drink or get high first to enhance your experience. -

Now this is real genius to make horror films. Totally sensorial, the force of this film lies not as much as in the plot or the actors as in the sound and vision. Argento forgets the way we usually see the light and dive us into a claustrophobic world of bright colors and nightmare's sounds. The characters are drawn as if they were part of a fairytale (is a witche's story) but instead of making the story too unreal or childish, the "who's the murderer" line helps to avoid that unrealistic view (but only a little).
Fue un verdadero placer ver como puede haber creatividad al momento de hacer una película de terror. Los que se fusilan cintas de horror japonesas o se les ocurre hacer cosas "Sè lo que hicieron el verano pasado" deberían de saber lo que es realmente preparar una escena de terror pensando en algo más que gritos y cuchilladas a lo bestia. -

The story and performances in this film, are some of B-horrors worst, the cinematography, set design, death sequences, and music however are as unique and inspired as horror films get.
Dario Argento films have thin plots which allow his sinister imagination to stage elobrate "Giallo" death scenes. Giallo is a genre orignating out of Italiy, part pulpy mystery, part fantastic horror and crime stories, part erotic thriller, and always ridiculous amounts of violence. The pulps, are "yellow books" basically, Gaillo means yellow in Italian, which for some reason was cheaper than white paper and used in alot of pop novels and magazines at the time. This genre has been Dario Argento's modus operendi for nearly thirty years, and though for the most part, his filmography is full of really, not even amusingly, bad films, this is the one that made him famous enough to make people interested in all the others.
For me it's the best, the bizzare and operatic soundtrack by "The Goblins" alone make it worthwhile viewing. The story is about a girl attending a haunted Ballet school in Germany, arriving the same day of a tragic and grissly murder, and uncovering the dark and ancient secret behind it all. A little slow at times, the story is a loose excuse to run wild with macarbe ideas that don't need too much explanation. It's also the beginning of a trilogy continuing with Inferno (the less said the better), and ending with last years "The Mother Of Tears".
Featuring a mix of slashers, killer dogs, witches, bats, and maggots, "Suspiria" is a horror funhouse and a masterpiece of genre, but a film mostly for fans and horror enthusiasts, those looking for a movie that's actually scary, might want to look elsewhere, those in for a wild operatic pulp horror have found their golden ticket. -

Dude, awesome movie!
My favorite scene is the part where the blind man walks his dog and then his dog goes wacko and starts chewing his throat off! I was laughing s hard, I'm so nefarilous. I laugh at people when they die in movies. I can't help it anymore even if it's as cool a movie as this, a chuckle always comes out.
By the end of the film I loved the song that played so much during it, even though the ending was a tad disappointing.
Not ot mention all of the amazing colors! Especially the crazy scene where they moved all the girls into the practice room. Really cool looking movie, and classic cheeze. -

Graphiquement très chargé, mais je préfère Argento quand il suggère plus qu'il ne montre. La fin est pauvre, par contre.

The lovely Jessica Harper is one of the maidens chosen for sacrifice in this grisly phantasmagorical tale. Artsy, kaleidoscopic photography and unnerving score by the goblins.
-

This evil fairytale is a baroque orgasm of colour and eerie music, building an aesthetically piercing and unsettling atmosphere, subtle and perverse. For how much I appreciate Argento's earlier and later output, Suspiria stands out as one of the best movies of all time. Love.

Bizarre, colorful, horror movie is WAY over the top. Watch out for those prestigious European ballet academies.
-

Mild by today's standards, Suspiria is nevertheless a landmark piece in the evolution of modern horror. The visuals are stunning, some of the most detailed and colorful sets I've ever seen. The décor reminded me of Wonka's chocolate factory. I kept waiting for someone to lick the wallpaper and say that it tasted like snozberries.

This one maybe a little oblique for some tastes, but the film is beautiful and horrifying to look at and possesses the logic of a nightmare. A true classic.

Dario Argento es sin duda alguna el maestro del surrealismo para el cine de terror y Suspiria es su mágnum opus. Filmada a través de un collage de interiores y colores hipnotizantes además de un soundtrack siniestro. Es el terror hecho arte puro.
Excelente film; muy recomendable. -
MCT:June 4, 2008My first exposure to Argento...and what a ride it was! I must give him credit for a unique look to the film, though the rather hysterical nature of the characters in suspect leans towards a cross between a witch's coven or fanatics from the Wicker Man. But Argento's stylish and offbeat touch keeps the viewer uneasy and there are scares to be had.

Finally got to see this and now I understand why every gore hound out there loves Argento. I liked the idea of a witches coven running a ballet school...and the death scenes are awesome and gory.
-

This one freaks me out. Normally, I stay away from explicitly gory films, but this one had a great rep, so I checked it out. So spooky and unnerving (in a good way). And, that music score will haunt you for days. One of the best from Argento and the horror genre.
-
MCT:May 29, 2008What Suspiria lacks in a script, it EXCELS in suspense and visuals. Despite it being made more than 30 years ago, its still one of the most beautiful films to watch.
