Review of Suspiria (1977) by John W — 14 Feb 2013
Goblin's pounding rhythm, chanting lyrics and creepy keyboard are just part of the atmosphere this film is known for. And the colors, Duke! The colors! Dario Argento actually made this part of an anthology known as the "Three Mothers" story, and this is my favorite.
The opening death scene is so overdramatic, it will make you say "WOW!" out loud. The characters are both lovely and innocent, and the setting is seemingly also safe. A dance studio. However, when maggots start falling from the ceiling and girls start falling into razor wire rooms, it's apparent there's more going on here.
Honestly, the first time I saw this movie I hated it. The second time, I liked it a little more. Now, after each viewing, I like it more and more. To me, it's like pizza. It's comfort food, and when I want something I know for sure I'll enjoy, I pick this.
