This movie is stupid gorgeous. The colors are amazing. The score is fantastic, it really sets the mood and builds tension. The story is fine, that is not the strength of this movie but the ending is really scary. I'm super pumped for the remake so I'm watching this again. If we get something that looks and sounds half as good as this, then we are in for a treat.

I just re-watched this, and as stunning as I think Argento's visuals and music are, I'm glad they're doing a remake. This suffers from being too disjointed and fakey, and the acting blows. I could accept it as a B movie, but it's too gorgeous for a B movie, and too dumb for a good movie. If the remake can take the best parts of Argento and bring some good writing and acting, it could really have something.

How such a silly 70ies horror flick like Suspiria can be hyped and mentioned in the same sentence with true Gems like "Helloween", "Nightmare on Elm's Street" or "The Exorcist" is beyond me! I would give this crappy excuse for a horror movie a wide berth!

This is one of those cult classic Horror movies that every hardcore fan says you have to see to earn your stripes. I can see some of the reasons for its must-see status. I really like Jessica Harper. She's fantastic and she creates a character that is extremely likable and easy to root for. The More

I watched this and the "remake" back to back, seeing how people complained about how the "remake" wasn't anything like the original (true) and how it was so awful in comparison (... I'll get to that).

All right.

First off, the composition and directing is incredible. S More

This is my favourite movie in the world. I love it so much that I have a Suspiria tattoo, it got me into movies - into Italian horror which is one of my favourite things now.

This is a masterpiece. Nothing will ever come close to this movie’s cinematography and soundtrack. Many people comment More

There seems to be a never-ending feud between many horror fans regarding 'Suspiria', due to the fact that this film is considered Dario Argento's outstanding masterpiece. Personally, I'm completely against the idea of praising something that you don't actually like, so I respect anyone who thinks th More
