Really cool visuals and music, but not much beyond that. Story was cheesy and the scares don't hold up at all nowadays.
Still, the aesthetic and soundtrack kinda make it worth a watch.

Music is fine, but the acting is just so-and-so. Feel rather bored most of the time.

Suspiria Suspiria is a character driven horror about a girl who joins a ballet academy and finds out the hard way that there actually might something else be going on behind the show business. The art designing and visual effects is the weakest link, why it fails to create the anticipated thrill to the audience when it is crucially required. Having said that, it doesn't suggest in any way, that it isn't scary. Its horrifying images comes from sharp sound effects and the mass amount of creatures that it uses to scare the viewers. It creates long gasping of horrors among the audience through keeping its characters helpless and cornered all the time. In fact, there is a sequence where the protagonist has to pass a narrow passage and despite of having any surprises installed in it, it is the most appalling sequence of the feature. And this is where it shines in, the build up of that sequence is weaved in by all the mysterious mythology and deaths throughout the course of it. Another wise thing to adapt in here would be the rest of the material through which the makers creates this crispy and gritty environment which is by gossiping. It is such a common thing that the makers have extracted and the way it is foliated and factors in on the storytelling is breathtaking, as the writers pass on information with it. The background isn't that impressive nor is cinematography or editing or camera work. The performance is decent if not anything extraordinary, it is safe enough to rely upon it. Being aware of its malleable script, Argento's execution surpasses its nail biting screenplay. Some new tactics to set the stakes of ruggedness, the conversations between the dancers and the mythological tale are the high points of the feature. Suspiria is a far better horror than we receive and the primary reason to that is it being aware of its limitations and the range it flaunts within those boundaries.… Expand

Suspiria is probably the most famous movie Dario Argento has made. If you are a New or Young Horror fan the odds are Suspiria would most likely show up on your radar first. Unfortunately when that is the case...sometimes a film can sufferSuspiria is probably the most famous movie Dario Argento has made. If you are a New or Young Horror fan the odds are Suspiria would most likely show up on your radar first. Unfortunately when that is the case...sometimes a film can suffer from the fan communities over hyping of that film. Before I saw Suspiria for the first time I had heard and read all kinds of praise for it. When I did watch the film for the first time I was slightly disappointed. I had already seen Deep Red and Opera and feel those films are Argento's Best.
Suspiria isn't a bad movie. It's just not as impactful as I had always heard it to be. The Visuals and Music Score are terrific. The story however I found a bit generic and slightly boring in spots. Still worth a watch. Maybe if you see it without the great expectations I had it will work better.… Expand
