    Suspiria (1977)

    This is one of the best horror movies ever made. Dario Argento is a master horror director. The color in this movie is absolutely gorgeous. The deaths are shocking as hell. I felt sorry for the character of Sarah. But as always..when a good character knows too much or is suspicious..they get killed off. They are remaking this classic 70's movie for release next year. Hollywood is f*cked!! There is no way the remake will be half as great. U cant get any better than the original Suspiria.

    Suspiria is one of the most beautiful, dream-like horror films ever conceived.

    "dream-like" :nod: perfect description. When Suzy Bannion first exits the airport, and the music starts playing. The beautiful rainy and windy night beating down upon her .. wow.. one of the most memorable scenes to me.

    Inferno is much more of a visually striking film along with being the most dreamlike Argento film to date. Most don't appreciate it and favor Suspiria which is quite good, just not on the same artistic level as Inferno. Getting that out of the way Suspiria is a slick flick but it has a few spots of horrendous dubbing and some severely jarring music. About 85% of the music is fine but that other percentage just doesn't chime with me. Probably number 6 or 7 on my list of Argento favorites.

    Suspiria is a visual masterpiece with some of the greatest camera work/cinematography I've seen in any film. It is often imitated but never replicated. Though Inferno has a very distinctive style and has a less cohesive plot than Suspiria, I still feel Suspiria is a much more "filling" visual feast.

    There was far less depth of range in the color palate in Suspiria, where it was mostly vivid reds that comprised the scheme. The swimming pool scene was probably one of the more visually arresting scenes in the film. Again most people do prefer Suspiria but as pure art is not on par with Inferno. I will also add that neither plot line is very cohesive and that's the way most of Argento's films are.

    Suspiria is a great flick. I think this was the second Argento movie that I had ever seen, and some of the scenes still give me goosebumps today. I'm also a big fan of Argento's:

    Tenebre
    Deep Red
    Phenomena
    Demons
    Four Flies on Grey Velvet
    Inferno
    The Card Player

    Yeah your right, its not fair to put that on the list. I guess I've always associated the film with him rather than Bava because he wrote the screen play.

    Not a fan of Suspiria, never have been. More to the point...I'm not a fan of Argento. I'll take Bava any day over Argento.
