Description:
The Terrifying First Chapter of DARIO ARGENTO'S 'Three Mothers' Trilogy... Uncut, Uncensored and Remastered from the Original Negative!
Jessica Harper (PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE) stars as Suzy Banyon, a young American ballet dancer who arrives at a prestigious European dance academy run by the mysterious Madame Blanc (Joan Bennett of DARK SHADOWS) and Miss Tanner (Alida Valli of KILLER NUN). But when a series of bizarre incidents and horrific crimes (including what Entertainment Weekly calls 'the most vicious murder scene ever filmed') turn the school into a waking nightmare of the damned, Suzy must escape the academy's unspeakable secret of supernatural evil.
Experience the most shocking and hallucinatory horror movie in history as you've never seen or heard it before, now featuring the fully remastered landmark score by Goblin and a heart-stopping new film transfer supervised by cinematographer Luciano Tovoli. This is the definitive version of Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA, an aria of terror beyond imagination and one of the most extraordinary horror films ever made.
Amazon.com:
Outside of devoted cult audiences, many Americans have yet to discover the extremely stylish, relentlessly terrifying Italian horror genre, or the films of its talented virtuoso, Dario Argento. 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. The convoluted plot follows an American dancer (Jessica Harper) from her arrival at a European ballet school to her discovery that it's actually a witches coven; but, really, don't worry about that too much. Argento makes narrative subservient to technique, preferring instead to assault the senses and nervous system with mood, atmosphere, illusory gore, garish set production, a menacing camera, and perhaps the creepiest score ever created for a movie. It's essentially a series of effectively unsettling set pieces--a raging storm that Harper should have taken for an omen, and a blind man attacked by his own dog are just two examples--strung together on a skeleton structure. But once you've seen it, you'll never forget it. --Dave McCoy

Rating:  - Wonderful!!
This movie is just great plain and simple, its a must own edition for any dario argento fan.
Rating: - "What do you know about witches?"
I'm not going to insult your intelligence. I don't think you stumbled across this movie by chance. You've heard of it from somewhere. You're interested. And if you can suspend disbelief and just enjoy a movie then you've come to the right place. This movie has engaging characters, a storyline that certainly isn't hard to follow, trippy soundtrack, and a few shocking scenes... of what? Watch it and see for yourself! That's part of the fun!
Rating:  - Over the Top, Technicolor, Pseudo-"Slasher"
The work of Italian director Dario Argento may truly be an acquired taste. This tale of an American girl arriving at a European ballet academy and discovering its sinister secrets is interestingly executed but may leave viewers perplexed.
"Suspiria" carries a reputation of being a great horror film. It's not brilliant, really, but it's also not the worst thing on celluloid. I understand its importance as an international horror film. It's known for it's bizarre use of vivid colors and ... Read More
Rating: - Definitely where an Argento newbie should start!
Suspiria has a very ominous beginning, and great musical score that is not only slightly scary, and used throughout as foreshadowing, but also appropriate for the plot and main character: Suzie, a ballerina traveling from NY to Germany for a dancing scholarship. Upon arrival to her new academy she encounters an eerie, gruesome murder of a recently expelled student. Soon thereafter she falls understandably ill after seeing an anonymous, hideous looking woman (picture the offspring of Capt. Lou Albano ... Read More
Rating: - great movie
I love horror movies, and this is probably one of my top three favorites. The story is ok, but the way the movie is shot and the technicolor are amazing. this movie is too good.
