Suspiria

Summary: Too brilliant for most
Review: .... Thank God Anchor Bay did it justice, even though they did get this and Opera before I could, though I do admit they released it far better than Repulsive Pictures could have. BUY THIS FILM AND "OPERA" as well, then the INFERNO then you can die a happy massochist.

Summary: Dario's Darkest Dream
Review: A film of nightmare logic and hallucinatory images, Dario Argento's Suspiria may be the one horror film to evoke childlike terror in adult viewers. The score is also one of cinema's finest, an infernal melody and genuinely creepy stuff. If you haven't seen it, wait for Anchor Bay's Sept release, as picture and sound should be superlative for this film!

Summary: IF YOU ONLY WANT THE MOVIE, BUY THIS DVD!
Review: Originally, I gave this DVD a 2 star rating because I thought it was a fox video release. I was wrong. This DVD is released by ANCHOR BAY, but it's just the movie and some music videos. If you're a real fan of the movie, buy the special limited edition from ANCHOR BAY, which is being released at the same time. The special edition of SUSPIRIA will have 3-disks containing a documentary on the 25th anniversary of the movie plus the CD SOUNDTRACK as well. Well worth the money.

Summary: ARGENTO + SUSPIRIA corrected verision
Review: DUE TO A SYSTEM ERROR THIS IS A CORRECTED REVIEW!! I had obtained a UNCUT bootleg copy of this movie some time a go(dont ask!!)and it was even better than when i first saw it. People today just dont get it. These days attion spans are short, which means low IQ levels!! What im getting at is this movie holds up better than the mindless and boring (bloodless)horror of today. Even though the effects are dated a little bit, they can still make your girlfriend squrim!! Unlike the really fake cgi stuff out there now. Yes the story is a little silly (and i mean a little !!!) and the acting so-so. But its a horror movie!! From overseas!! So just sit back, relax and enjoy a shining star of this genre. Now its finally comming to DVD. I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Suspiria DVD
Review: I shudder at the thought of the previous releases of Suspiria. I bought a Fox/Lorber version which was the full nc-17 caliber version of the film presented in it's original theatrical aspect ratio but contained horrendous sound fidelity and video quality. I mean it sounded like someone had sealed glass jars over the actors' lips and had them speak through them. The video looked like a copy of a copy of a copy in EP mode. Yeeesh!! The Magnum video release had improved picture and sound but showed the R rated version in pan and scan. Judging from Anchor Bay's past remaster and/or restoration efforts this should be one dandy DVD. The soundtrack is presented in DD 5.1 EX and DTS 6.1 ES. The transfer is THX certified as well. Hope it lives up to my expectations. This is a very scary movie.

Summary: Just Perfect!!
Review: I love this film...It is perfect from beginning to end. Here's the deal...It is filmed more beautifully than just about any I've ever seen. The film score is un-matched in my opinion. The Goblins have created one of the best ever horror soundtracks to grace a film. It is such a compliment to Dario Argento's effects and intentions. I think the fact that an american is thrown into an unfamiliar country, situation, etc...adds to the intended portrayal of fear throughout. You can just sense that evil is present throughout the film thanks mostly to The Goblins. It is similar to the way you know evil is present in the Evil Dead Films, but only in the evil dead films the camera work (with sound) are indicators...In Suspiria it is mostly due to the Goblin soundtrack. Great piece of work...a truly beautiful nightmare! I recommend picking up the soundtrack to the film...very creepy!

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!
Review: I urge all of you to wait for the official Anchor Bay release in October/November! This is a cheap Fox version of the movie and it is edited! Wait until Anchor Bay releases the full unedited version on DVD! It will also include the soundtrack as well.

Summary: A Horror Masterpiece...
Review: ... This is an excellent movie, full of atmosphere, mystery, and suspense. It is not, admittedly, for those who don't like a slower pace, and is not a cheap-shock-a-minute gore fest like alot of horror films, but thoughtful and artistic. The color saturation is beautiful, and the screen is drenched in greens and reds, making the viewer feel quite uncomfortable (it grabs you so much that, later in the film, when the main character actually leaves the primary setting, the outside world doesn't quite seem right). The music is insane; one of the best ever. Goblin has never been better. And there is blood and gore and frights. This is my favorite movie ever, so don't listen to a few negative reviews by people who don't get it ... - check it out for yourself. It won't be a waste of time.
