Ooooh, I've never seen Suspira (in fact, I don't even think I've heard of it.)

So much the better.

If we go to Cuckoo's Nest, we should all wear straight-jackets!

Yup, it's a ring. And when placed over an "a", it's pronounced like a long "O" as in "oh".

OMG I am so going to Suspiria -- it is one of my absolute favorite horror movies. It's about this american girl who goes to this dance academy in Germany where there's certain occult doings going on in the background.

But they story isn't important. Suspiria is all about the visuals, the atmospheric dread and the over the top violence. It was one of the last films to be shot in the 3-strip technicolor, so all primary colors look fantastic (it is lit specifically for that process). Also the theme song is rather creepy.

Dario Argento is one of the great Italian horror directors, and Suspiria is (arguably) his masterpiece. The first time I saw Suspira I was alone in a darkened apartment and it seriously freaked me out.

The blind man and his dog. THE BLIND MAN AND HIS DOG! That was awesome.

I've actually seen Suspiria, and I didn't like it. It rather annoyed me, actually. (Probably because I wasn't seeing it for its arty bits, but rather for its contributions to the sub-genre of movies about boarding schools that are fronts for satanic cults.) And I've been trying to remember the name of it for years, so thanks for jogging my memory.

^^ If you want a logical plot, it ain't there. Most Italian horror films are about the atmosphere rather than the plot, so if you're looking for explanations you're going to be annoyed.

Suspiria is supposed to be dream-like. The director actually said that some of the scary journey that the protagonist goes through is supposed to be like Snow White -- the scared little girl against the evil witch.

I can't wait to see it! It sounds very interesting.

€uroMeinke · 06-20-2007, 07:28 PM

I always wanted to go to an occult boarding school...

I sooooo remember the trailer for Suspiria when it aired on HBO. Freaked the hell out of me as a kid...

And here it is.
