Summary of Suspiria

Dario Argento's masterpiece of horror, with its assault of garish colors, booming soundtrack and horrifically dreamlike set pieces, is the cinematic equivalent of an exceptionally scary fun house. It tells the story of Susan (Harper) a young, impressionable American who travels abroad in order to study at a prestigious European ballet academy. From the first day, however, she begins to realize that frightening things are afoot at the hallowed institution. Enduring a rain of maggots, poisoned food and other unpleasant occurrences, she discovers that the school is a secret convening place for an ages-old witches' coven. Cut to various lengths due to violent content, the film's original full running time is 100 minutes.

Looks great but should have been better

Bad acting, boring dialogue, an awful score and too many clichés. It does have its good points though. Well, one (two if you count the unintentional comedy): visually it's rather delightful. Read and rate it

The Prettiest Horror Film

Suzy Bannion (Jessica Harper), an American, has traveled to Europe to attend a ballet school. Upon arrival, a student exits the edifice screaming--she is murdered shortly afterwards. Idle gossip and speculation, comments fabricated or otherwise... Read and rate it
