Review of Suspiria (1977) by Grant S — 01 Nov 2016
An American dancer, Suzy, is about to attend a prestigious ballet school in Germany. No sooner has she arrived than another student at the school is brutally murdered. Sinister deeds are afoot and Suzy starts to think that the school houses something evil.
Pretty poor, even by the very low standards that are set for horror movies. Quite lame and formulaic, with cheap production values. Not that scary either. More irritating than scary, in fact. Each scene of violence and/or horror is unnecessarily drawn out, with nails-on-chalkboard-like sound effects. This doesn't make you scared, just impatient and annoyed.
Throw in cringeworthy performances, gratuitous ultra-violence with laughable special effects and a monotonous soundtrack that is headache-inducing and you have a horror movie that is worst than most. And that is saying something.
