This review is for the Suspiria Blu-ray by Nouveaux Pictures.

Suspiria (1976) was made by Italian horror director Dario Argento. I had no idea who Argento was before I saw Suspiria. This is a very powerful film experience, especially in the department of looks and sound. I is also very original, I haven't seen another movie like this. The plot is simple enough: an American Girl, Susie Banyon (played by a young Jessica Harper), arrives to Germany to join a dance academy. The academy is run by witches. The story feels closer to fairy-tales, like Grimm brothers, than usual gore/horror.

The strength of Suspiria is how it looks and sounds: the colors (vivid red, blue and green) are fantastic and create a very fairytale-like effect (similar in styl” read more

I chose to end October by watching my favorite Italian film in 4K UHD. I know a lot of people have already seen this film, so I'll try to keep my thoughts to a minimum. Suspiria is a masterpiece of Italian horror. Suspiria is the perfect blend of exploitation and art-house cinema. It's not as high brow as a Federico Fellini film, but it's classier than mos"

"Re-watch - Oct. 14th Back in the '00s, one of my closest friends hosted a horror marathon in October. That night, we saved Suspiria for last & it's safe to say that by the time we got to it nobody was in the right mood for it. I didn't fully realize this at the time, but as a result I thought it sucked. As time has passed I came to the conclusion I should give it another chance.
