Editorial Review - Amazon.com

Outside of devoted cult audiences, many Americans have yet to discover the extremely stylish, relentlessly terrifying Italian horror genre, or the films of its talented virtuoso, Dario Argento. Suspiria, part one of a still-uncompleted trilogy (the luminously empty Inferno was the second), is considered his masterpiece by Argento devotees but also doubles as a perfect starting point for those unfamiliar with the director or his genre. The convoluted plot follows an American dancer (Jessica Harper) from her arrival at a European ballet school to her discovery that it's actually a witches coven; but, really, don't worry about that too much. Argento makes narrative subservient to technique, preferring instead to assault the senses and nervous system with mood, atmosphere, illusory gore, garish set production, a menacing camera, and perhaps the creepiest score ever created for a movie. It's essentially a series of effectively unsettling set pieces--a raging storm that Harper should have taken for an omen, and a blind man attacked by his own dog are just two examples--strung together on a skeleton structure. But once you've seen it, you'll never forget it. --Dave McCoy

A cross dresser of a comedy, disguised as horror

A Customer Review by Hermit
I watched this because my daughter said it is a cult movie among horror fans. Italian made in the 70s. Unfortunately the strong sides, ie the set designs, the colors, the decorations, the architecture, are being left utterly alone in their struggle for class by the plot, the actors, and above all, by the butchers who did the dubbing. Most of the time the acting and talking is so grotesque and bad that you can only laugh.
Story: an American ballet dancer comes to Germany to attend a 3 years course in a dance school. We learn in the course of events that the school was initially started by a Greek witch, that it had specialized in ballet and occult sciences (in itself a fairly funny idea), that it had dropped the occult things and focused on dancing. Of course it turns out that it is still run by a whole gang of witches, who commit fairly colorful, senseless and stylish murders. There are a few bats and there is a blind man's dog, an Alsatian, who lets himself be talked into becoming a raging kind of wherewolf. The main actress spends about 80 minutes being terribly worried and big-eyed, until she does the right thing and kills them witches. Bully for you, girl!
If you got anything better to do, do it!
One more malus point: Susie arrives at Frankfurt's airport, gets taken by taxi to something like the Black Forest, with a beautiful art nouveau castle, but some of the action takes places in Munich on a big public square. Well, you know, being fond of plausibility, this annoyed me a wee little bit.

NOT SCARY!!!

A Customer Review by Tony
What are all these people talking about, this movie was not scary at all!! As a matter a fact it was just down right boring.I was very dissapointed because I got this movie based on the reviews and it wasn't worth it. If you want a movie thats going to put you to sleep, get this.
