Summary: Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA!!!
Comment: It started off pretty good and creepy, but there were some parts that were kinda boring. There were some awesome beautiful scenes of bright beautiful red, green, and blue colors! I love the dark and rainy night and showing all the colors! Suzy goes to a fancy ballet school and some strange things start happening like people disappearing, dogs eating their owners, maggots in all the rooms, and the supernatural witches hanging around!!!! If you like Dario Argento and Italian horror, you might like SUSPIRIA!!!

Summary: A cross dresser of a comedy, disguised as horror
Comment: 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.

Summary: NOT SCARY!!!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Top class horror!!
Comment: One of the best horror movies I ever watched. The background score is amazing and very original. The 2-disc special edition rocks. It comes in a regular keep case. Disc one has the movie in widescreen format with DTS ES 6.1 audio, trailers, Music video etc. Disc two has cast & crew interviews. This is one worthy purchase for any horror movie fan.

Summary: DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT I THINK THIS MOVIE ROCKS!
Comment: All right, I know that some people aren't going to like this movie, but as of me: I LOVE SUSPIRIA!!!!! Just wanted to make that clear, heh.
-Now, I will admit that in between the murders, the pace can slow down a bit. But if you're a horror lover or a gorehound, you NEED to see this movie, if only for the kills! Watch in the first where the girl that runs away from the ballet school gets absolutely SAVAGED! It's no wonder Entertainment Weekly referred to it as "the most vicious murder in a horror movie".
-The supernatural feel, surreal images and tone, amazing color and unfamiliar setting are absolutely beautiful. This has got to be the most beautiful and mesmerizing display of shocking horror cinematography ever. The foreign setting definitely helps, and captivates the viewer, especially if they're looking for a movie that's just as atmospheric and supernatural as it is bone-chillingly terrifying. So surreal and astounding...LOVE IT!
-I found the two-disc version at a very reasonable price, and this is, of course, after I saw it four times before owning it!
SUMMARY:
THIS MOVIE MAY NOT BE FOR EVERYONE. IT ISN'T THE MOST FAST-PACED MOVIE EVER AND IT MAY SEEM TO RUN A LITTLE LONG. BUT IF YOU HAVE PATIENCE, WANT SOMETHNG HORRIFYING, VICIOUS, BEAUTIFUL, SURREAL, GENIUS AND GROUNDBREAKING, SUSPIRIA MAY BE AS GREAT A MOVIE TO YOU AS IT IS TO ME.
So as you can tell I think this movie rocks! Just watch it with an open mind, be patient, and expect the hardcore horror mastery via Italian director Dario Argento. Thanks for the time, and peace.
