Dario Argento's crowning achievement in stylish film-making.
Suspiria is the most beautiful horror film ever made. Every single frame of this film is expertly lit and colorful. With this technique Argento manages to create an almost unbearable amount of tension and the extremely brutal and bloody murder sequences look so good one can only admire their beauty. The music score by Goblin is one of the most effective score ever to grace a horror movie.
The story concerns an American ballet student who discovers that a coven of witches run the school as bodies begin piling up.
Not much of a story here, but that's really not the main thing. Style and atmosphere is the main course here, and it's execution is completely flawless. Acting and dubbing are okay and the dialogue is a bit stiff. But these are minor flaws in an operatic horror ride one is not likely to forget that easily.
So sit yourself down, turn out the light, and watch this movie in surround sound, 'cause the music alone will totally give you the creeps.
