Review of Suspiria (1977) by Johnathon W — 15 Oct 2018
Classic and truly haunting film that set a standard in the horror genre. The cast is solid across the board, the Jessica Harper making an appealing lead in Suzy, who puts her giant eyes to great effect.
Behind the camera, Dario Argento crafts a truly haunting film, never fully explaining anything while filling the screen with images and colors you have never seen before (the color is so vivid, a myth the film was shot on Techno-Color emerged).
The result is a truly unsettling film whose atmosphere creeps into you, so when the scares do occur, they are as shocking as they come. Plus, Goblin's classic score remains one of the finest ever produced for a horror film, let alone any movie.
A classic in every way, and so unique, how does anyone plan to remake it?
