Review of Suspiria (1977) by Nick O — 15 Nov 2010
An incredibly bent grindhouse horror film that by today's grade stands as an overseen art. Dario Argento brings a terrifying craft to "Suspiria", a movie which can be easily traced to the raw ingredients of fear, and maybe that's why matched against other '70s icons such as "Halloween" and "Phantasm" it could also be considered dangerous.
Its way of bringing about the elite powers of feminism in vague cultural mythology helps in creating a lucid spirit that exists as a once-lived dream. "Suspiria" is a breathing film kept alive by the recognizable awareness of a demon, one who doesn't play dead.
It slices "Suspiria" open like an old wound, relishing in screams even when everything is too quiet.
