	Suspiria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Suspiria is a 1977 Italian horror film directed by Dario Argento, and co-written by Argento and actress Daria Nicolodi, whom Argento was romantically involved with at the time.
		Suspiria is the first film in a trilogy Argento refers to as "The Three Mothers," about evil forces attempting to break through to the earth and wreak merciless havoc.
		The title Suspiria and the general concept of the "Three Mothers" came from Thomas De Quincey's sequel to his Confessions of an English Opium Eater, Suspiria De Profundis.

		I saw Suspiria in 1977, and aside from the fact that it was my first real dubbed movie experience (a bit distracting), the film certainly made a fantastic impression upon me, and has remained one of those films that I will always sit down and view repeatedly.
		I’ve heard many reactions to Suspiria, a lot of them negative in the sense that the viewers were disappointed by the lack of story content and structure, dragging pace, campy dialog, poor direction, etc., etc They are certainly entitled to feel the way they do, and experience the film in that light.
		Suspiria, in my opinion, and many others, however, is a fantastic experience of the senses, where the horror is translated, primarily, through sight and sound: exaggerated sets, jagged, dark, confusing architecture that perplexes you and leaves you unnerved.

		However, it shouldn’t be assumed that the story of "Suspiria", as flimsy as it may be, doesn’t contribute to the film as well.
		"Suspiria" is a monumental achievement in horror, as it is both understated (story-wise) and over-the-top (visually) at the same time.
		Given the visual reputation of "Suspiria" one would hope that the DVD would be impressive, and those prayers are answered with the new DVD from Anchor Bay, which features a new transfer which was supervised by Argento and Tovoli.

	DVD Verdict Review - Suspiria: Limited Edition
		Suspiria is a horror film unlike any other in that it ventures far away from the standard "old dark house" or "living creature" notions of terror to invent a world where setting, style, and sound are more frightening than the bloody victim on the floor.
		Suspiria takes convention and tosses it into a room filled with barbed wire fencing, letting it struggle to survive the oncoming visual and aural onslaught.
		Suspiria is the realm and source of such air, of such painful and wicked breezes.

	Neil Young's Film Lounge - Suspiria
		Suspiria is, first and foremost, a horror movie, made for the widest possible international market, and it was a notable box-office success on both sides of the Atlantic.
		Suspiria has been often criticised for its ‘nonsensical’ plot — but when a film comes this directly from its creator’s subconscious, we should instead be thankful it makes any sense at all.
		And Argento, in a typically daring move, withholds many of these clues from the audience, as in the early sequence when a fleeing, doomed student yells some vital but, to us, inaudible phrases as a thunderstorm drowns out her words, phrases which only Suzy can hear and, much later, comprehend.

		Goblin's score in Suspiria is their finest work ever - it creates the perfect nail biting edge-of-your-seat atmosphere for the many suspenseful scenes in the film.
		Suspiria is presented in an anamorphic THX certified widescreen transfer in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
		Boasting strong, solid colors (extremely important for a highly visual film like Suspiria), accurate flesh tones, and a razor sharp image, this transfer is easily the best Suspiria has ever looked.

	Suspiria - Movie Review
		It is not a tangled web of psychological frisson nor is it a diabolical ode to witchcraft, but it is a flawless representation of a cinematic nightmare: a Goya print come to life relying solely on visual and audio mastery rather than plot or pacing.
		Suspiria is an exploration of subconscious horror imagery and atmosphere, the film is drenched in uncanny colors and ripples with a swirling chaos of bizarre sounds.
		While he was originally posited as the Italian Hitchcock, after Suspiria Argento went on to carve out a niche for himself as one of the world’s foremost horror filmmakers.

		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.
		As a result, Suspiria could be considered the most beautiful horror film ever made, although; it's not necessarily a horror film at all...
		SUSPIRIA was realised after dario argento had being having nightmares he used to write them down on a notebook next to his bed, after a three month period he managed to have the veils of a plot based upon his own personal nightmares with a dash of edgar allan poe thrown in.

		Suspiria is one of the most famous, and probably the most renowned, film from Dario Argento, the Italian maestro of splatter and gore.
		Suspiria plays like a dark fairy tale, beginning with a narrator who stops just short of actually saying "Once upon a time..." and ending with its young heroine finding a secret passage in a room painted to look like an enchanted garden.
		The elaborate production design, colorful photography, and fancy camera tricks can carry us through large chunks of the movie, but in the end they cannot disguise the fact that the movie is just a pretentious version of the same cheesy teens-in-danger slasher pictures that wrecked the horror genre in America.

		Suspiria is part of a trilogy Argento planned based upon Thomas de Quincey's recounting of an opium dream about thee mothers, Mater Lachrymarum (Tears), Mater Suspiriorum (Sighs) and Mater Tenebrarum (Darkness).
		If Suspiria's two naturalised, modern spaces provide a moment of relief from an undercurrent of violence, these spaces overflow into each other—indeed, the paranoia pervading Argent's cinema is consistent, whether its source is witchcraft or psychosis.

		The film opens with a voice-over as Suzy Banyon arrives in Munich, one that establishes Suspiria to take place in a once upon a time never-neverland where "magic is everywhere" and mundane logic does not apply.

		Pat Hingle's approach to the hotel in the beginning of the film is first seen through her reflection in a pool of rainwater.

		There are, indeed, some things which are not explained in the sense that they might be in "western cinema" (and, in western cinema, would be forced to be explained somewhere or cut).

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Suspiria: Limited Edition
		Suspiria's plot is incidental: Susy Bannion (Jessica Harper) is an American ballet student who comes to study at a prestigious European dance academy run by Madame Blanc (Joan Benett, known best as the Femme Fatale in Scarlet Street).
		Films like Suspiria exist almost entirely for the ritualistic grand Guginol killings that populate them, but no director makes such poetry of murder as Argento, with Suspiria so operatic that the even the most gruesome gore (we see a knife pierce someone's heart from the inside) becomes necessary.
		Argento has a master's sense of framing for mood — the widescreen photography is continually stunning — but the key element to the film's power is the score by the prog-rock band Goblin (joined by Argento), which is so engrossing that it becomes as important as the color schema.

		Suspiria is the first of a presupposed trilogy and justifies its lack of narrative establishment with its fresh approach to familiar material.

		SUSPIRIA is among the greatest horror films of all time and it took way too long to be available in the fantastic presentation it so richly deserved, and which Anchor Bay finally delivered.

	Suspiria: album reviews and ratings
		"The typical Suspiria formula consisted of a sumptuous mixture of turbulent synths and shimmering touches of guitar, wrapping itself sensually around the highly mannered vocals of Mark’s former frontman Matthew...
		Suspiria replaced the typical textured goth guitars with a far more flexible programmed equivalent, decorating the result with subtle doomy riffs to round out the sound."
		Matthew has a velvety low voice perfectly suitable for the goth image this band conveys, and Mark's infectious synthesized arrangements are reminiscent of early 80s electro-goth.

		Suspiria is loads of fun — highly imaginative, fairly scary, wildly creative — but it does have some flaws.
		Exclusive to the Limited Edition DVD is a 52-minute documentary unoriginally titled "Suspiria 25th Anniversary." It rounds up the usual suspects, featuring interviews with Argento, his ex-wife and co-writer Daria Nicolodi (who claims most of Suspiria's script as her work), cinematographer Luciano Tovoli, the members of Goblin, and actors Harper, Stefania Casini, and Udo Kier.
		Suspiria's Limited Edition release shares certain qualities with Anchor Bay's Manhunter release — it's not quite the definitive, all-in-one package fans might be clamoring for, but it's pretty close.

		Suspiria is a beautiful dream like horror film which tells the tale of an American ballet dancer who enrols at a famous ballet school in Europe only to discover it is run by a coven of witches.
		Suspiria is an excellent horror film; it is shot in a unique and very beautiful way.
		The tension is built carefully with much of the mood set by the incredible backdrops and the varied characters.

	Metroactive Movies \| 'Suspiria'
		Too gory for the art crowd, and too arty for the gore crowd, it got terrible reviews when it was released in 1977, and still is largely misunderstood.
		Simply put, it is scary, as my ex-girlfriend who used to have to tiptoe through the living room when she so much as heard the theme music can attest.
		Though I'm rather a big fan of director Dario Argento in general, I think Suspiria is his best, a near-perfect mix of fairy tale and nightmare set to what may very well be the most incredible palette of color ever featured on the big screen.

		Stan Douglas's latest work, the video installation Suspiria, 2002/2003, is as visually weird and conceptually sophisticated as anything he has ever produced.
		When Suspiria was presented in New York, the surveillance fo otage (now taped) and the fairy-tale scenes were also mixed so that, most likely, no two visitors saw the same sequence.
		Douglas's ghosts are shadows of a future that never came to pass: the economic and social redemption promised by modernism; the end to alienation foretold by communism.

		One day at 9am, she left Kennedy airport, New York, and arrived in Germany at 10:40 local time." While there are few signifiers here to suggest the tale takes place in Germany, Argento subtly focuses the spectator's gaze on a poster of the Black Forest taped to one of the airport terminal's walls.
		Suspiria may be Argento's silliest work, but while its plot is scarcely sensible, the film rightfully earns its notoriety via Argento's fabulous and detailed engagement and reworking of fairy tale motifs.
		Supernatural behavior in Suspiria is pervasive and inescapable, commanded by a coven of witches.
