Summary: A truly creepy experience.
Review: Dario Argento by now is well known for his work in italian horror.A director with an eye for horror sure knows how to make a viewer cringe or feel vulnerable.The Bird with the Crystal Plummage,Tenebra,and others are probably some of these films best remembered for.In Suspiria, Dario Argento really lets us have it.The film doesn't waste anytime when it comes down to all the scares.A truly remarkable horror movie with a score so creepy,the film would probably be just as scary when your eyes are closed.Suspiria is the kind of film that will not let the viewer feel at ease.Every passing minute we are subjected to such shock value that we can never forget the kind of master Dario Argento is.Suspiria really frightened me as a viewer.I liked it very much and thought it was probably an experience in the art of horror I will never ever forget.Suspiria.A Dario Argento classic.

Summary: Get ready for DVD!
Review: I think that this is by far Argento's best film and I have seen nearly all of them. And the great news is that anchor bay, the people responsible for releasing his classics "Inferno", Deep red and Tenbre are releasing this on dvd in wide screen with extra's in 2001.

Summary: Hell of a movie
Review: Argento was once dubbed "the Verdi of Violence", and with good reason. SUSPIRIA is perhaps the most operatic horror film ever made (that is, if one doesn't consider Visconti's THE DAMNED a horror film), with great, garish colors, baroque settings, high-pitched music, and incredibly bloody death scenes.Argento dispenses with logic early on, and if you're looking for linear plot, go elsewhere. This is a nightmare vision captured on celluoid, worthy of Bosch and Dante, and not for the faint-hearted. But if you've got a stomach for it, it's a hell of a movie and an unforgettable experience.

Summary: Very good!
Review: The sets of this movie are stunning, and the plot was mostly interesting. The special effects weren't very good, and the movie could have done well without so much of the very, very fake gore. Also, I found most of the musical score to be incredibly annoying. Lots of "spooky" noises throughout most of the movie, and a song that was played over and over that eerily remind me of George Michael's "Faith" (perhaps Mr. Michael is a fan of this movie). If nothing else, this movie can be enjoyed for it's direction and cinematography. It -is- very "art-house" but only in appearance. Hardly a commentary of the human condition, it's plot only reflects a darn good suspense flick.

Summary: A Terrifying Trip into Madness...
Review: This is one of the only films to ever really terrify me. The film is like a never-ending nightmare you wish you could wake up out of. The brightly colored scenery and strange lighting add to the creepiness of this film. The only thing that I didn't particularly care for were the extremely violent death scenes that, not only looked fake, but made me feel sick. The music is really creepy and the film altogether was pretty great. It is not like any other horror film I've ever seen...When you are watching it, try to keep an open mind and you should be pleasantly surprised.

Summary: Argento is the King of Italian Horror
Review: WOW. "Suspiria," undoubtedly one of the truly scary movies ever made (and this is coming from a devoted Horror Movie fan), and also an important artistic moment for the Italian maestro himself. Trying to pick the most unsettling scene in this is like trying to pick the goriest slasher movie of the "Friday the 13th" saga (you try it). The blind man and his dog; of course the opening double murder; the room of barb wire...For me, the creepiest scene is the one in which Suzy is walking down the hallway and the cook and little boy just stare (and stare...and stare...) with Goblin's incredibly unsettling score pulsing in the background kept me up for a while. Worth seeing, for sure.

Summary: candy colored fairy tale from hell
Review: A delirous fairy tale told with the reasoning of a flu induced nightmare, anybody looking for the generic formula horror story ala Scream go elsewhere. To set a few things straight Suspiria, like most Italian films of the period, was post dubbed thus the "flat" ring to the dialogue which only adds to the otherwordliness of the film. The score by Italian pioneers Goblin is one of the finest in film history. Those reviewers crying over "it doesn't make sense" are missing the point completly. If your brain hasn't been fried by the generic offerings of hollywood and MTV, and are looking for one of the purist examples of cinema (and if the site of a still beating human heart being butchered doesn't offend you) check out Suspiria...you won't regret it.
