I was simply amazed when I first watched this movie. And to this date it is still one of the most played movies in my collection. Everything about it is perfect in every way possible. The score, tone, atmosphere, plot, acting, gore, colours, set design. The whole thing is like an orchestra, it just all falls into place and has a beautiful feeling. Ever since watching it, Dario Argento has been one of my favorite directors. Although this has to be his masterpiece. The movie is basically about an American dance student who travels to a bizarre European ballet school. While she is there, strange murders occur, maggots fall from the ceiling, and people start acting weird. By the end of the movie, the audience finds out that the academy is run by a coven of witches. The plot is quite simple but is shockingly original. What makes this movie effectively creepy and authentic is it's score, composed by prg-rock group Goblin. The score which is very catchy has an eerie tone to it and is probably my favorite horror movie score. Another element that makes this film so entriguing is Argento's use of colours. As Eli Roth perfectly stated: "Argento puts the gore in gorgeous." and that he does. Perfectly. Which brings me to another point . . . gore. Another element that makes any Argento movie authentic is his use of gore. Suspiria isn't shy on this element. The first major scene and probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen filmed is a grisly murder in which a wman is stabbed until her heart is visible, she is then hanged and falls through a beautiful stanied glass roof. As well, a blind man is attacked and has his throat bitten out by his guide dog and a girl falls into a pit of barbed wire and then has her throat slit. All together, this film is something of a masterpiece and any cinema lover, horror or not, must see Suspiria. This is probably one of the most original and amazing films I have ever seen. 10/10

This movie was amazing. It was probably the best anthology movie I have seen yet. The movie has four short plots to it: 1) "Method for Murder", 2) "Waxworks", 3) "Sweets For The Sweet", and 4) "The Cloak. The cast, which is greatly assembled, consists of Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Jon Pertwee. The acting in this movie is actually really good and each story is equally creepy and fun. My favourite story out of the four is either "Waxworks" starring Peter Cushing or "Sweets for the Sweet" starring Christopher Lee. What I really liked about each story is that none of them had a happy ending for any of the characters. The entire movie was well thought out and thoroughly enjoyable. It is perfects for a stormy night and I reccommend it to classic horror fans and anthology fans.
