Suspiria (1977)

Top class horror!!

One of the best horror movies I ever watched. The background score is amazing and very original. The 2-disc special edition rocks. It comes in a regular keep case. Disc one has the movie in widescreen format with DTS ES 6.1 audio, trailers, Music video etc. Disc two has cast & crew interviews. This is one worthy purchase for any horror movie fan. June 28, 2008

DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT I THINK THIS MOVIE ROCKS!

All right, I know that some people aren't going to like this movie, but as of me: I LOVE SUSPIRIA!!!!! Just wanted to make that clear, heh.
-Now, I will admit that in between the murders, the pace can slow down a bit. But if you're a horror lover or a gorehound, you NEED to see this movie, if only for the kills! Watch in the first where the girl that runs away from the ballet school gets absolutely SAVAGED! It's no wonder Entertainment Weekly referred to it as "the most vicious murder in a horror movie".
-The supernatural feel, surreal images and tone, amazing color and unfamiliar setting are absolutely beautiful. This has got to be the most beautiful and mesmerizing display of shocking horror cinematography ever. The foreign setting definitely helps, and captivates the viewer, especially if they're looking for a movie that's just as atmospheric and supernatural as it is bone-chillingly terrifying. So surreal and astounding...LOVE IT!
-I found the two-disc version at a very reasonable price, and this is, of course, after I saw it four times before owning it!

SUMMARY:
THIS MOVIE MAY NOT BE FOR EVERYONE. IT ISN'T THE MOST FAST-PACED MOVIE EVER AND IT MAY SEEM TO RUN A LITTLE LONG. BUT IF YOU HAVE PATIENCE, WANT SOMETHNG HORRIFYING, VICIOUS, BEAUTIFUL, SURREAL, GENIUS AND GROUNDBREAKING, SUSPIRIA MAY BE AS GREAT A MOVIE TO YOU AS IT IS TO ME.
So as you can tell I think this movie rocks! Just watch it with an open mind, be patient, and expect the hardcore horror mastery via Italian director Dario Argento. Thanks for the time, and peace. June 27, 2008

*cringe*

Lately I have been craving a good horror movie I have not seen before. When I saw this at the video store, and noticed it was an older movie, made int he late 70's and said it was the 2-disc collectors edition. So I figured it must be a classic movie if it's 2 discs from that time period.

Also on the cover it reads, "the only thing more terrifying then the last 12 minutes of this film... are the first 83"

*BUZZER SOUND*
WRONG!

I was bored after the first ten minutes of this movie. The opening seemed OK and looked promising, but once the "actresses" start talking to each other, I had to cringe, it sounded like bad over dubbed voices that you can find better quality from in a porno movie.

There was a couple of scares here and there, but they still left me yawning. The more this movie went on, the more bored I was becoming. And I have seen enough of these kind of movies where I force myself to watch it to the end in hopes it gets better then to bother doing it again with this one. So I switched it off.

I dunno what the fascination with this thing is. It was dull, boring, slow paced, the sound of there voices was *cringe* and I really could not bare to see where it was leading to in the end.

It may have been lit nicely so you can see the rain in dark out side shots nicely, but the color inside the buildings they where in was nauseating to say the least.

I dunno, maybe it got better at the end, or maybe you need a mind set that finds Clockwork Orange to be a great movie and think Napoleon Dynamite is actually funny.

I don't care if I get 1000 replies in disagreement, this was how I saw this film, I gave it it's chance, and it did not appeal to me at all. The editing needed to be cut down to give it a faster pace, and the music, good god, who the hell composed the score? It still gives me a headache thinking about it. June 13, 2008

Possibly the best horror movie ever made

First of all, I what to say that people who have rated this movie less than 4 stars don't know nothing about horror movie, because after viewing more than 1500+ horror movies, this one is in my top 3 best horror movie of all time. Second of all, Halloween by Carpenter may be one of the best horror movie ever made but it's not the only one. Third of all, Halloween might not have been made if Suspiria did not exist, because it's one of Carpenter favorite movie and it influence him to make horror movies.

So, why it is that praise and that popular? It's simple, the atmosphere, the incredibly creepy music, the great and shoking killing scenes, the ingenious use of color and the slow pacing of the action, are what you need to make a really scary horror movie.

You whant to know what is a great horror movie? Do yourself a favor and buy this, you won't regret your purchase trust me. June 3, 2008

What a disappointment!

Wow this movie just plain sucked! I bought this movie because of all the great reviews on it saying it was a must see and you haven't seen horror until you've watched this movie, etc. Were these people drunk or high or something? It was a very slow, boring start & middle. I imagine the end was too but I was so bored I fell asleep. My BF thought it was horrible too and was so glad I nodded off so he could turn it off. Do not buy this movie if you care about actual HORROR. This is not scary and the only horrifying thing about it is how horrifyingly horrible it is! Not worth $5 if you ask me. June 3, 2008
