Review: Don't buy this one. A few interesting camera moves and very outdated FX aren't worth the money for it. Don't believe the hype.

Summary: A Beautiful Nightmare
Review: Dario Argento's Suspiria takes you into the dark world of witchcraft and occultism. Jessica Harper stars as Suzy Banion, a young American ballet dancer who arrives at a European dance academy only to discover that the teachers are also witches and the dance academy is also a witches coven. Style and colours are the main techniques to this supernatural fairytale. The way Argento directs the actors and camera taking you into the unknown is just completely unique. Mario Bava, another Italian director of horror, has a similar style but Argento is the master. Also, the rich primary colours of blue, red, green and yellow are used to great effect. These colours are called "gels" and it's a special lighting used for cinema. Suspiria, the first of "The Three Mothers," is a masterpiece that will blow you away.

Summary: Always In The Top Ten
Review: Dario Argentos Suspiria is always listed in the top ten of the best horror films ever made.Through directors use of sound color and twisted camera angles we are drawn into the web of dark magic and secrets.The pulse pounding score by Goblin is killer this is a movie that should be watched with the sound way up and the lights off !

Summary: One of the greatest Horror Films ever.
Review: Dario Argento clearly originates from the Hitchcockian school of suspense. In typical Argento fashion the characters and plot are all but ignored in his effort but it seems difficult to imagine why his films seem of such high quality. There is not a better director with regards to camera angles and lighting that I have ever seen, it is no wonder he writes all of his own screenplays. His films do not need dialogue or deep character development because it simply isn't what he sets out to do. Argento intrigues you and allows you to trust a film and then is willing to completely shift it's direction just to scare you. The plush colors and impossible camera angles that consistently make you wonder how the hell he got up there to get that incredible shot are what make Argento's films great and clearly his own.Susperia is Argento's masterwork. Albeit, Tenabrae and Inferno are also both done very well, this is one of the greatest horror films ever made and not enough people have seen it. Argento's style is accentuated in this film and he is free to do whatever he wants visually because of the broad script he works with here. The film is like any nightmare you have had that sticks with you for most of the day. I have no question that may be where Argento gets some of his bizarre ideas. The beginning of the film simply shows a girl walking through a thunder shower and the way the scene is filmed and the music is placed makes you realize just how good Argento is at creating suspense in a scene that would normally be filmed with far less attention. Another thing that makes Susperia a great horror movie is the soundtrack, a soundtrack in which I would argue is more frightening than both Halloween and The Omen. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves great horror (there are few great films in that genre), although Argento's style is often difficult to appreciate at first to those accustomed to conventional film work.

Summary: Rosemary's Baby goes to Satan's (dance) School for Girls ...
Review: and FLUNKS! I haven't seen acting this bad outside of a porn film. The plot is laughably lifted from many other films and held together by, well, nothing. It's no wonder Jessica Harper has disappeared. And Joan Bennet's performance makes her turn on Dark Shadows look award-worthy. Really! Visually, it's wild to look at ... kind of like a whorehouse in Querelle or a Ken Russell daydream. Otherwise it does not have much going for it. The soundtrack is effectively creepy - but if you have a home theater system, be warned: it is LOUD. And scary ... Not At All. The only frightening thing is the bizarre adoration some people have for this movie. Artsy for those who haven't seen any real art films.

Summary: Argento is brilliant!
Review: SUSPIRIA is nothing short of austounding. A tour de force of rich colors, strange music, and mind-numbing suspense. One of the few horror films that gets to me. The sound is good and the transfer complements greatly on the cinemtography. The music video is awesome and trailers are good. However, I feel that they give away the film's key scenes. It's best to watch the movie without the trailer first. Watch it in the dark, but not alone!

Summary: Bit by the same dog twice
Review: I bought this largely due to rave reviews here. What a shock
to realize I had seen this before - in its theatrical release.
Didn't like it then, don't like it now. The music's just wierd enough to be compelling, and I like Jessica Harper, it's just that the movie is less than the sum of its parts. Blurry red hallways, funhouse lighting, cliched characters (check out the Cloris Leachman-like teacher with the German accent and the vaguely militaristic outfit) - I just don't get the appeal. Might seem raw and arty to someone who never saw a foreign film before.

Summary: It would be a shame to miss this one !
Review: I first discovered "Suspiria" on French TV ; I loved it, and although it was not my Argento's favorite, I decided to purchase this limited-edition (mainly because it included the soundtrack... How splendid...). I made a good choice, because when first watched it, I was stunned : I was discovering a totally new movie ! The transfer is -- let's say the word -- a masterpiece, and the beautiful rendition of the colour effects and camera work are fantastic, almost a miracle ! But most af all, this version is uncensored. I thought French version was complete (which was the case for "Deep red", for instance) ! How naïve ! All the killings were partially cut ; believe me, for those who knew what can now be called "the old version", the end of the first murder is an astounding and perverse surprise ! To conclude, I'd congratulate Anchor Bay for their great work and their respectfull and delicate treatment of that cult movie. The extras are great, and the box set also contains stills... I love stills... Don't miss this one, you could be very sad...

Summary: Not God Awful, just not good.
Review: I agree with the people who said the movie was shot well, and the soundtrack is creepy....the transfer to dvd was very well done. I'm trying to be positive but that's about all the good I can say about this movie. I tried to like it, I really did.....but....no. Masterpiece?? Try Romero. Maybe I just didn't get it...
