Just got back from Suspria.
Worst movie I've seen at the cemetery. Oh sure, there were some visually stunning shots, a small handful of good moments, and one good piece of music. But as a whole, it was a completely pointless piece of cinema. Entirely uninteresting. On the plus side, the crowd was well behaved.

As far as the movie is concerned, it really is Dario Argento's masterpiece -- tho as I said before you do NOT watch Italian cinema for the plot. You watch it for the visuals, and in that regard Suspiria is quite a stunning movie. It is atmospheric and creepy, but like most Italian horror movies (from which Suspiria practically spawned a whole genre) the plots and the acting (and the ending) are not ever strong points. The first 10 or so minutes of the movie, in particular, are amazingly well done IMHO. The death scene with the guy and his dog are pretty intense. The girl jumping into the room of barbed wire is way messed up (I'm like.... wtf is up with the barbed wire room, lol!) And the music is creeeeeeeeeepy. (and did you notice Joan Bennett of "Dark Shadows" fame as the headmistress?) I guess some people are into the Italian horror flick and some people aren't (hey look on the bright side, at least now you can avoid some other films out there, lol). It is a different way of presenting the subject matter that for me, having seen thousands of horror movies, is visually and emotionally interesting. I think Suspiria is miles above any of the recent "torture porn" movies that have come out (or the generic "dead teenager movie"), but people seem to love those too (the "splat pack" movies are not my bucket of blood). Of course, the other thing is that I am not sure what print they showed at the screening -- the version on DVD, or the hacked up "the small semblance plot COMPLETELY makes no sense here" version. Or perhaps my view of the movie is clouded since I first saw it alone in a darkened apartment on an overcast day. ("Night of the Living Dead" is another of those movies that I first saw alone and was freaked out by, but watching it with friends it isn't nearly the same experience). What was the reaction of other people there? I hope you guys aren't too  at me, I know you probably went on my recommendation and then I couldn't make it at the last second. Quote:
 I'm not sure if the background explanation of the movie detracts from the show though (i.e. high expectations etc.) It does have a 91% on the tomato meter tho...

That's too bad, though I guess I can feel better about missing this one

I'm up for His Girl Friday next weekend. At least cinematic quality is assured.
