From the genius mind of legendary Italian horror director Dario Argento comes "Suspiria", taking you well beyond the average slasher flick and into a gruesome art form. A young American dancer travels from New York to a conservatory to study ballet. She arrives late on a rainy night,and unable to get in, stays the night elsewhere. Much to her fortune, she missed being the target of a cold-blooded killer. Unlike any horror film you will ever see, "Suspiria" mixes macabre death sequences with vibrant colors, "Kubrick-esque" camera shots and one of the most chilling musical scores in cinema, it's reputed as being a "terrifying acid trip", and since I have never been on an acid trip myself, I'll have to take their word for it.

Nice blog! Have you seen "Phenomena"? It's my favorite Argento flick (his too, aparently), though most people consider it his worst. Just be sure it's the full "Phenomena" cut, and not the heavily edited "Creepers" U.S. version. Anyway, always good to meet another Argento fan!
Suspiria is a gorgeous and unsettling film. The music performed by the group Goblin fits the startling images perfectly.
Nice blog!
