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.
