It should be pointed out that Suspiria was written with the intention to have children play the students, but the producers knew the movie would never pass the censors (or, probably, wouldn't even be distributed) if it had full on butchery of kids in it. But Argento kept the child-like dialogue, and even had the sets architected to make the characters look smaller and child like. The door knobs are raised so Susie has to reach up to open them. The story also came from Dario Nicoladi's grandmother who said she went to a private school with an urban myth of it being run by witches.
You know what, that factoid about the movie makes the scene about the people whose names start with "S" being snakes far more believable, it's a very childish thing to say ... seeing adults (or late teens) saying very childish stuff like that was a little out of place.
"It's a nightmare" is the best description I've ever heard for Suspiria. Nightmares are almost always rective, not proactive. You only realize things are happening once they've happened. It's the best explanation for the barbed wire scene I've come across. Not in the sense that it's a plot hole that needs filling, but because the characters can't know anything the viewer doesn't know. She didn't know the barbed wire was there because we didn't. Honestly, that's kind of a stroke of genius in helping me explain why other people should watch it.
@@User-xw6kd Yeah a lot of Italian movies were made like that for a while. They were shot without audio, all sounds were added back in later, and the actors would speak their own native languages and then be re-dubbed in whatever language they needed.
I always figured that the blue lights in the film are showing the audience things that are actually in the dark for the characters. The barbed wire scene is scarier if you realize that it's all in the pitch black for the character. We can see it, she can't. Also, not talking about the scene with the blind man and his dog is criminal!
The dumbest thing is it's not even barbed, it's just wires and the movie is choke-full with moments like that. Shoud've been called Suspiria of Disbelief
@@schweppes1313 1) It doesnt matter if there are barbs or not because they never clarify it's barbed wire. She's trapped, simple as that. If you're letting that ruin the movie for you, it's a you thing and has nothing to do with the quality of the film. 2) I'm gonna be real with you dude, it's not set in reality. The film opens with this hint that the world outside the doors is Argento's, and he's going to take us on a fantastical adventure that evolves into a nightmare. It's a genius film and an incredible experience.
@@colevacheron7312 Sure. Sarah just has an extreme case of hematidrosis, that's also why we don't see her dance. It all makes sense now. I'm all for surreal and dreamlike imagery, but it still has to translate character's experience to the audience to make them invested in whatever's happening on screen. This movie has amazing camera work, gorgeous set design, cool soundtrack and the opening scene works extremely well, especially for 1977. But it's far from perfect and moments like that wire trap or killer's bone-chilling struggle against The Latch don't really enchance the viewing experience.
Honestly this is the perfect platform for Josh. On BOTW he wants to recap those terrible movies beat by beat by beat, while the other three panelists generally don't care and will make jokes over the top of him, sometimes to his frustration. Here at least his attention to detail is worth the effort.
The funniest bit in all of BOTW is when Josh yells at Mike and Rich talking amongst themselves while he’s explaining a film and he says “Im trying to talk about Dr Butcher” and Rich plainly says “No one cares.”
3:57 It's funny because I'm italian and I growed up with dubbed films, so when I first started watching english movies in their original language I basically had your same reaction! XD
Josh and Rich are my favorite re:view hosts. I always see comments complaining that they want more of Rich and Mike cracking jokes but I actually like the commentary these guys bring. Josh shines when he's in a focused, mostly-serious discussion, as seen with the episodes on Erasherhead, Fire Walk With Me, Martin, and Pink Flamingos. He always brings lots of good insights to the table even when everyone is ragging on him for not being hammy like Rich and Mike. I like crude jokes at the expense of elderly people and AIDs, but I also like articulate and impassioned film discussion.
Additionally, I think Josh has some underrated lines that are funny not by virtue of him deliberately trying to be jokey, but just how he passionately he phrases stuff. I still think of the time they discussed "Wired to Kill" and Josh has this genuine exasperation his voice when he says "Becky _just_ wanted a place to fucking sleep." There's also the last episode of BotW where Mike is about to pull another "Vampire Assassin" and Josh immediately guesses what he's about to do, which I got a good chuckle from.
The good thing about the ending is that the house itself concedes defeat to the victorious Susie and allows her to leave, opening an escape path for her amidst the chaos of its self-destruction. That's why the ending has never seemed too abrupt or unsatisfying to me. And I love that a smiling Susie is allowed her victory without some crummy last-second twist that robs her (and us) of it.
fun fact the film phenomena actually served as the main inspiration for the survival horror game "Clock Tower" to the point where the lead actresses likeness was used.
I first saw Suspiria in cinemas a few years ago, and it was simply one of the great experiences of my life. Everyone reacted appropriately, everyone there was a fan of cinema, everyone loved it. The soundtrack was so loud, it felt like a rock concert.
I'll throw my hat into this ring and wish for a 'Lost Highway' re:View. I've got a feeling, though, that the next piece of Lynch's work they'd cover in an episode would be 'Blue Velvet'.
As I was watching this film something donned on me; I think I've seen this plot before. Then I remembered, I saw a parody of this on The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy when I was a kid. The episode in question was "Billy Idiot" where Billy enrolls in a ballet school only to discover it's run by this witch who steals the souls of the students.
Can't believe you overlooked the horrific scene where that blind guy's seeing-eye dog gets demon possessed and attacks him. The tragedy of that scene and the way the tension built as the dog was barking ferociously at an invisible entity in that dark courtyard at night, while the blind guy just stood there freaking out, until his dog turned on him. That scene still bothers me.
Lol it did cross my mind that there was a reason that jay and josh did this episode. Actually it crossed my mind watching the review of the remake. They did that one too.
22:57 I’d love a Re:View for Twin Peaks The Return. I know it’s technically a full season of television but it felt more like Lynch’s 18-hour magnum opus to me.
@@allgonoemo4217 It isn't "being pretentious". It is refreshing to see a director who does seem to perfectly understand what makes of another movie a classic and then using this understanding to tell his own story. If anything I found the remake of Suspiria "pretentious". It tried to put complexity in what is actually a very simple dark fairy tale - thus totally missing the point.
@@vincenzoberetta1085 what is u talking about baby Neon Demon isnt even in the same neighborhood as Suspiria Colours go brrrr but so what Dont be so pretentious
as a kid here in italy we didn't have halloween but i remember one 31st oct. when a friend's dad, to mark the spookiness of the date, made us watch Deep Red - we were 10 or 11.
What's funny is that the first time I watched Suspiria I didn't even know it had been dubbed into English, so I watched the Italian version with English subtitles. I still really loved it though because holy crap those visuals are really wonderful. Besides Mandy, I can't think of another movie that was so bold with color.
Pat Hingle's been in his fair share of pulpy westerns, too. I recognized him from Hang 'Em High, which was probably the most lynching-focused western of the 20th Century.
It was clearly done to better complement their review of this particular movie. Doing the red and blue lighting every episode would be like having Christmas lights on all year round

The Dougy Jones reference is proof positive that Jay and Josh have seen Twin Peaks: The Return and have consciously decided not to do a re:view on it yet.
Dario Argento sounds like a frozen dinner brand that I'd get at the supermarket. "I don't feel like cooking tonight, I'm gonna go get a frozen lasagna." "Make sure you get Dario Argento. They're the best."
Part of what i love about the original is that there are moments in the film that you get the feeling the characters are being watched, but it's never confirmed if they are. Like when they're swimming in the pool and then it's an Arial shot with intense music while they're talking.
Agatha Christie's are considered giallo novels in Italy, if this can help you understand what "giallo" means: they usually include such things as murder and mystery.
"Aside from Eraserhead, Suspiria is kind of only the real movie that really captures that feeling of a nightmare" Aw hell naw. Inland Empire, Un Chien Andalou, Jacob's Ladder, Coraline and many others would like to have a word with you
The Synapse release of this movie is astounding, it looks better then some new movies thanks to it's amazing use of colors and lighting and the 4k scan they did with it. Also has an awesome 4.0 soundtrack that the movie originally had when it was in theaters but hasn't ever been on a home video release, which sounds far better then the 5.1 tracks that have been with it, lot more dynamic, especially when the Goblin score kicks in.
Theres a video game for the super famicom (japanese snes) called Clock Tower which is basically Suspiria combined with Phenomena. One of my favorite video games. One of the first survival horror games.
I saw this when it came out...at a drive-in theater, no less. Remember those? I felt oddly voyeuristic watching this, for a start. I also got the impression that the dance academy itself was somehow a living thing. Anyway, I've also categorized the movie as somewhat a work of art rather than horror alone. Some of the situation set-ups, especially the blind guy and his dog, reminded of something Dali might do.
I've read that it was supposed to be teens... not adults... also many scenes are direct recreation of Argento's nightmares (like the killing the witch scene)... This explains a lot!
Great Review! You should watch Berberian Sound Studio, great homage to giallo films and the sound/foley department in particular! Greetings from Argentina.
I love the original Suspiria so much! I'm dying to see the new Luca Guadagnino version too. Always good to see Jay and Josh covering the weirder films on Re:view!
Every other goddamned youtube reviewer: "Same reviews as everyone else of the most recent movies" Redlettermedia: This cool horror movie called Suspiria just came out 40 years ago.
Hm I was kind of surprised that at 16:18 when they are talking about "how did the other students not know they were living under a coven of witches?" They didn't bring up what was said in the exposition. The guy explains witches only goal is personal wealth but the only way they can do that is by harming others. At the beginning of the movie, a lot of the students are obsessed with money which tells me that they are part of the coven.
My first encounter with "Suspiria" was back sometime in the mid 80's. I happened upon it at one or two in the morning one weekend over summer vacation - back when a handful of broadcast channels would run movies instead of signing off. One local affiliate in particular would routinely air Italian schlock cinema. I was genuinely creeped-out by it but was so mesmerized that I could not stop watching. The barbed wire scene has always stuck with me - the whole thing captured the tone and logic of a nightmare, not unlike Don Coscarelli's "Phantasm" (1979).
Noun edgelord (plural edgelords) (informal, derogatory, Internet slang) Someone who attempts to seem edgy by doing or saying risque or offensive things.

@@Hatingmeisconforming Well i'm guessing he was addressing you as he replied directly to your comment and not in the main thread. Don't worry about it hes just a troll, and not a very good one at that.
I am a big fan of most Giallos. Suspiria is probably the best Italian horror movie I have seen. Love to see you guys talk about them. Keep being awesome.
"Susperia" is one of two Argento films I have seen and it's crazy awesome. It's weirdness reminded me quite a lot of "Phantasm" as a reference point for me (also "Hellraiser" for some reason). I am looking forward to the new version but I can't help but think I shouldn't compare the two too much.
When I watched this for the first time I was so confused trying to sync the audio with the visuals and kept fiddling it until I gave up, then I watched this and went "OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH"
I've watched this movie many times in the last 25 years (I'm 40). Been born and having lived all of my life in Rome, I feel a sort of connection with Argento (Argento was born and lives in Rome). You can see pieces of Rome in a lot of his films (and a lot of Turin, but that's another story), and there's even a store (used to be, in fact), in Rome, owned by him (it had the name of one of his films, "Profondo Rosso), which used to sell horror comics, horror stuff, mostly garbage, and had a quite campy "horror museum" in the basement, with a few props from his film. That said, I've seen Suspiria for the first time in a cinema, three years ago, when the restored version came out. After tv, vhs, dvd and blu ray versions, seeing it in a cinema, polarized my feelings towards the film. I was, at the same time, very captivated (more than every other time I had seen it), and, for the first time, amused by the inconsistence of the story and the acting. It was ridicolous. I loved Tovoli's work even more, in its hallucinated "Mario Bavesque" trichromy, and the music, as always with Goblins, is very good, but....everything else (excluding some of the settings) was hilrious.
I thought they kept calling it goblin music because it's spooky music goblins would like
That checks out.
Yes I didn't understand that at all. Why would goblins listen to or make such beautiful chime sounds.
That's cute
On a totally different music track I was admiring the chimes again and thought why would goblins like that. But then it hit me, maybe I'm a goblin...
As a real life Goblin myself, I love the Suspiria soundtrack
They didn't dub the whole episode 0/10.
inb4 jay is legit mad he didnt think of that
I remember the dubbed "Late Show With David Letterman" rerun. It was one of the nuttiest things I ever saw.

The Synapse release of this movie is astounding, it looks better then some new movies thanks to it's amazing use of colors and lighting and the 4k scan they did with it. Also has an awesome 4.0 soundtrack that the movie originally had when it was in theaters but hasn't ever been on a home video release, which sounds far better then the 5.1 tracks that have been with it, lot more dynamic, especially when the Goblin score kicks in.
I can't be friends with anyone who finds the music in "Suspiria" annoying.
Suspiria and Blade Runner are the most visually perfect movies I have ever seen.
Theres a video game for the super famicom (japanese snes) called Clock Tower which is basically Suspiria combined with Phenomena. One of my favorite video games. One of the first survival horror games.
I saw this when it came out...at a drive-in theater, no less. Remember those? I felt oddly voyeuristic watching this, for a start. I also got the impression that the dance academy itself was somehow a living thing. Anyway, I've also categorized the movie as somewhat a work of art rather than horror alone. Some of the situation set-ups, especially the blind guy and his dog, reminded of something Dali might do.
I wish Deep Red would get a re:View
Hopefully one day “phantom of the paradise” could get a re:view.
comparing the end of suspiria to a wire song... this is relevant to my interests
good taste in movies AND music. these dudes are continually subverting my expectations
mentioning spaghetti westerns, you guys should totally re:view "My name is nobody"
I've read that it was supposed to be teens... not adults...
also many scenes are direct recreation of Argento's nightmares (like the killing the witch scene)...
This explains a lot!
Goblin was just in Pittsburgh...they put on an amazing show!!
Great Review! You should watch Berberian Sound Studio, great homage to giallo films and the sound/foley department in particular! Greetings from Argentina.
"And then that character vanishes from the movie too..." Immediately cuts to next scene with same character with different hair-do!
Nnnnice! One of my favorite movies. The soundtrack is EPIC!
I love the original Suspiria so much! I'm dying to see the new Luca Guadagnino version too. Always good to see Jay and Josh covering the weirder films on Re:view!
This is one of my favorite films ever.
One of my favorite horror films.
A Jay and Josh one! The seal of goddamn quality right there.
I've heard that people whose names that start with "J" are... JELLYFISH! Bloop. Bloop. Float. Float.
I can’t believe they didn’t talk about that the lady in it was also in “phantom of the paradise” and “shock treatment”
Every other goddamned youtube reviewer: "Same reviews as everyone else of the most recent movies"
Redlettermedia: This cool horror movie called Suspiria just came out 40 years ago.
Hm I was kind of surprised that at 16:18 when they are talking about "how did the other students not know they were living under a coven of witches?" They didn't bring up what was said in the exposition. The guy explains witches only goal is personal wealth but the only way they can do that is by harming others. At the beginning of the movie, a lot of the students are obsessed with money which tells me that they are part of the coven.
re:View videos it's like spotting bigfoot riding a unicorn chasing a ufo.
My first encounter with "Suspiria" was back sometime in the mid 80's. I happened upon it at one or two in the morning one weekend over summer vacation - back when a handful of broadcast channels would run movies instead of signing off. One local affiliate in particular would routinely air Italian schlock cinema. I was genuinely creeped-out by it but was so mesmerized that I could not stop watching. The barbed wire scene has always stuck with me - the whole thing captured the tone and logic of a nightmare, not unlike Don Coscarelli's "Phantasm" (1979).
I’m late in the game. I first saw this in the early 1990s on bootleg.😅
My favorite film. Thanks guys!
This and the ORIGINAL Wicker Man are my favorite films of all time.
@@dreamwarrior1276 what the fuck is an edgelord?
Noun
edgelord (plural edgelords)
(informal, derogatory, Internet slang) Someone who attempts to seem edgy by doing or saying risque or offensive things.
He's trying to imply that you only like those movies (or pretend to like them) because it makes you seem more cool or interesting and that you should like brainless CGI movies and play with toy lightsabers like him.
@@chris1275cc wait. am I the edgelord or is the dude in the video the edgelord?
@@Hatingmeisconforming
Well i'm guessing he was addressing you as he replied directly to your comment and not in the main thread. Don't worry about it hes just a troll, and not a very good one at that.

OH NO NOT THE BEES, NOT THE BEES AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I am a big fan of most Giallos. Suspiria is probably the best Italian horror movie I have seen. Love to see you guys talk about them. Keep being awesome.
the original Suspiria is one of my favourites
Love this movie more every time I c it
"Susperia" is one of two Argento films I have seen and it's crazy awesome. It's weirdness reminded me quite a lot of "Phantasm" as a reference point for me (also "Hellraiser" for some reason). I am looking forward to the new version but I can't help but think I shouldn't compare the two too much.
Yes! We get the best re:view team up to talk about Suspiria, Dario Argento, and Giallo movies!
Was that scene at 15:47 the inspiration for Benicio Del Toro´s character in the Last Jedi?
Remember kids:
If it sounds like a snake, its a mistake♪
@@Necron1999 guillermo del toro, whatever
I still stand by that Rian must have gotten drunk and watched The Usual Suspects and say yeah, Benicio, just talk like you did in The Usual Suspects.
Man that soundtrack sounds great.
RJD2 used the track “Goblin” from the ‘77 movie in his song Weatherpeople
I was going crazy watching this episode, waiting for that bass stab to kick in
When I watched this for the first time I was so confused trying to sync the audio with the visuals and kept fiddling it until I gave up, then I watched this and went "OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH"
Italian Captain Marvel?
Time for a solo of "Greasy Strangler ".
I've watched this movie many times in the last 25 years (I'm 40). Been born and having lived all of my life in Rome, I feel a sort of connection with Argento (Argento was born and lives in Rome). You can see pieces of Rome in a lot of his films (and a lot of Turin, but that's another story), and there's even a store (used to be, in fact), in Rome, owned by him (it had the name of one of his films, "Profondo Rosso), which used to sell horror comics, horror stuff, mostly garbage, and had a quite campy "horror museum" in the basement, with a few props from his film.
That said, I've seen Suspiria for the first time in a cinema, three years ago, when the restored version came out. After tv, vhs, dvd and blu ray versions, seeing it in a cinema, polarized my feelings towards the film. I was, at the same time, very captivated (more than every other time I had seen it), and, for the first time, amused by the inconsistence of the story and the acting. It was ridicolous. I loved Tovoli's work even more, in its hallucinated "Mario Bavesque" trichromy, and the music, as always with Goblins, is very good, but....everything else (excluding some of the settings) was hilrious.
Loving the Minutemen/Wire reference.
Thank you for this, I REALLY this genre more in depth now
The lighting on this episode feels intentional.
lol
I normally don't care about upgrading movies in my collection past DVD, but Suspiria is definitely one I will upgrade with every release
You guys should dub all of Rich Evans lines in Italian
