SUSPIRIA • Dario Argento • 1977 • 1h 40m
An American newcomer to a prestigious German ballet academy comes to realize that the school is a front for something sinister amid a series of grisly murders.
"Suspiria is a baroque piece of esoteric expressionism that you enter - and exit - without understanding so much as feeling." - Little White Lies
"There are horror films that scare and there are horror films that quake the senses; Suspiria still rattles decades after its original release." - Slant magazine
"What lingers is not a sense of evil but exhilaration in how far Argento and his fellow filmmakers were willing to go to shock and delight; the movie's sheer exuberance is the cinematic equivalent of a blood transfusion." - The Ringer
