About this movie

Widely considered to be the most shocking and hallucinatory horror movie in history - and described by Argento as "an escalating experimental nightmare", Suspiria stars Jessica Harper as a young American ballet student who arrives at a prestigious European dance academy and is confronted by a series of bizarre and horrific deaths. Packed with vicious violence, ultra gory effects and dazzling cinematic set pieces, Suspiria is a gruesomely gothic masterpiece of the macabre. 1977 Seda Spettacoli.

This movie absolutely scared the hell out of me when I first saw it back in the late seventies, the loud madrigal music score added to the general fear generated, and at times I remember covering my ears with my hands to shut out the noise and I actually thought I was going to have to leave the movie theatre when I saw it there, it had that affect on me. For scare factor alone I would have given it a full five stars, but it scared me so much I can't say I "loved" the movie. Now that it is 2021, I am going to try and watch it again on google play, just to see if it has the same effect on me.

Quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Amateurish direction, awful performances by everyone except Alida Valli and truly risible special effects.
