Review of Suspiria (1977) by Tony P — 19 Aug 2015
Excellent example of an Italian giallo horror film from director Dario Argento.
The film focuses on a German ballet school where strange and very gory happenings take place. It becomes apparent that the staff of the school are behind these events.
Some of the characters look like extras off Prisoner: Cell Block H and there is a mute guy that is a ringer for the late Richard Kiel.
This genre of film was made before slasher horror films bombarded Hollywood and it is just as effective.
In particular this film uses vivid colours, gothic sets and a pounding musical score to add to the atmosphere.
I would recommend this as an entry point to the Italian giallo genre.
