Review of Suspiria (1977) by Adrian B — 28 May 2012
A young American (Jessica Harper) heads to Germany for ballet school, one of which has some haunting happenings. The night after she arrives, she and the other students learn that a student who left the previous night was viciously murdered, along with a friend of the student, by an unknown assailant.
This puts everyone on edge, and unfortunately for them, others in the establishment start meeting similar fates. At the beginning of the movie, there is one very savage, scary murder scene, and there is some really interesting use of colour within the film throughout.
Unfortunately, the plot between the scares, along with the acting, is pretty limp. Performances are fairly wooden, and this does not compare to other horror films of the decade, such as "Halloween," "Alien," and "The Exorcist.
" Also, I found the ending to be very rushed and pretty silly. Sadly, a very second rate horror film.
