Have a great weekend!
can you look into a rare sci fi movie called Hardware -1990 ? Nobody has ever reacted to this one.
I concur .. I absolutely adore this film. It like the tiramisu of horror.
Watched this in the theater when first released and to this day it still creeps me out.
Another favorite Argento film for me is "Deep Red".
@@1981_Reacts OMG! Hardware! Went into this one blind when it came to my tiny suburb, playing at the mall cinema. Went with my best friend. We were not prepared.
This is, in my opinion, the most beautiful horror movie ever made. The sets, the colors, the cinematography, all so great.
It’s like Wes Anderson but with horror elements and a splash of David Lynch lmfao!
@@JamesVSCinema There's an anime about lesbian bears called Yurikuma Arashi created by Kunihiko Ikuhara (who is a big fan of David Lynch). It takes a lot of visual inspiration from this movie.
dont forget the music!. "Goblin" is the band who plays
It's an acid trip. This is probably the last movie made using the technicolor process. The second movie in the trilogy maintains the same look. I have not seen the recent third movie.
Suspiria is a very valid entry for that title, agreed. I don't think a lot of non-genre experts are aware of it and it's place in history
This soundtrack is by Goblin, an Italian Progressive Rock band. They also contributed the soundtrack to Argento's masterpiece Giallo, Deep Red and the original Dawn Of The Dead.
Saw them at a Halloween concert a few years ago. They haven't made a bad song.
@@MyNameIsBucket They are amazing live. The show I saw had Morricone Youth opening for them, check them out if you haven't already.
Giallo is hardly a masterpiece.
Giallo is pretty far from a masterpiece-did you mean Tenebrae?EDIT: Fixed typo
@@sashen6678 I was saying Deep Red is a Giallo Masterpiece
Definitely one of the most unique horror movies I've seen. It's like watching a moving painting.
I think Argento approached it like a painter, the Italian horror directors like Bava and Argento do wonderful things with light and color
It's like being in that painting
this film never underestimates the audience. it takes you along and dares you to keep up with it. i love this film. it's smart, edgy, experimental, and beautiful. it pushes the envelope and never apologizes for the choices it makes. it was truly amazing when i saw it for the first time way back when. i really enjoyed your reaction.
I love Suspiria. My favourite thing about it is the fact that (according to my history of cinema professor) the color palet was inspired by Walt Disney's Snow White. Which weirdly makes sense although it shouldn't
Maybe not so weird... I have read that Suspiria was going to have ten year old girls as the dance students until someone convinced the director that he couldn’t have on screen brutal murders where the victims were children. People would lose there minds and it would immediately be banned. Apparently they didn’t adjust the script after they bumped the students’ age up so the dialogue - “S is for snakes” - and some of the behaviour of the students is very juvenile. It just adds to the wonderfully disorienting atmosphere. Thank you for the Snow White info.
"Tell me nothing, and show me everything ..."
The exact mindset for Argento
A great introduction to Dario Argento and Italian horror cinema in general. I hope you continue to check out more of this sub-genre (also the Suspiria remake is worth the watch too)!
Suspiria 2018 is great for almost opposing reasons, it has a more ambient score and "normal" cinematography but is very strong on plot and story with quite a lot to digest. Absolutely worth watching but it helps to go into that one not expecting a great deal of similarly to the original
@@TheCryptofHorrors-DerCryptaxis Exactly! The 2018 version is an inverse of the original. One of the best reimaginations of recent times that I've seen. Love both of these films. Same same, but different.
So happy you finally watched this masterpiece. It was the first "beautiful" horror movie according to movie critics and this is probably the first time I agree with critics. Alien (1979) was the second beautiful one. .Director Dario Argento did a fantastic job here. He also made another masterpieces like "The Bird with Crystal Plumage" (1970), "Deep Red" (1975) and my personal favourite - "Tenebrae" (1982)
It’s definitely not the first beautiful horror movie. There are silent horror films that are beautiful. The Cabinet of Dr Caligari being one of them.
@@egglady I think you are right but the term "Beautiful horror movie" was first used for "Suspiria" (1977)
Though the sequel, Aliens, ended up outdoing Alien.
@@Powerranger-le4up Not even close
Aliens’ storyline is better than Alien but if we’re going off of visual design alone then Alien is a better experience
The eyes in the darkness when she looks threw the window, bruh. Little kid me had a crisis of faith after that one lol
I recently had the pleasure of seeing Goblin perform the score to this live in sync with the film being projected above them. It was insanely cool.
Dario Argento is so influential with the mysterious beauty of the sets & striking color palettes. When I saw this movie the first time, I immediately was like, “So, THAT’S where David Lynch got the style of Twin Peaks!” There’s so many elements of this film that makes it so engaging and suspenseful.
You’re definitely right about the soundtrack. It’s killer!
Late at night, lights out, and volume loud; the absolutely best way to enjoy this movie. I absolutely loved your reaction and analysis of this movie.
This was one of the last films that employed Technicolor which is why the colours are so vibrant. Most of the score was composed by the band Goblin who make awesome music you really should check out their soundtracks and albums. They were masters of gothic progressive rock. So happy you enjoyed this film I knew you would, I love seeing the youth appreciate these often debated classics.
3 strip technicolor
One interesting thing to note about this movie. Dario Argento initially wanted this movie to be about children, but given the limitations of child actors and shooting at night etc, he had to use adults, but notice how they often act child-like (the Suzy is the name of a snake), the bullying and the fact the door handles are so high up, so the actors have to react up to open doors. It’s just another layer to the genius of this movie.
An absolutely visually STUNNING film!
Great reaction once again!
The "remake" is actually very good too. The original is unparalleled but they really did a stunning job for the new version and I think it was misunderstood at the time but people are starting to get with it. I would recommend that one for sure.
I also enjoyed the new one, also weird just more "modern" weird.
Also did more with the 'witches in a dance school concept'. Was it scarier? No but the dance was more integral to the story itself.
@@evaserration6223 Yes! The dancing scenes are some of the best.
I don't really think it's fair to call Luca's version a remake I'd say a retelling or reimagining is probably the more appropriate term, I mean it's completely it's own thing it just uses the bare bones of this one to build it's own narrative.
Just a remarkable movie. Starts out feeling dreamlike and somehow gets more and more like a wild dreamscape throughout without missing a beat.
Jessica Harper was also in Phantom of the Paradise (must watch) and Shock Treatment (watch when you have time to kill).
Best choice ever! More Dario Argento recommend for now: Tenebrae, Deep Red and The Bird With The Crystal Plumage
Hats off for reacting to this masterpiece. Italian horror is it’s own horror sub genre and it’s a favourite of mine. Dario Argento is a horror maestro and my favourite director. I’d highly recommend watching all of his movies, even if you don’t react to them. I watched this movie in an old church in London with composer Claudio Simonetti and Goblin doing a live score…. It was epic. I feel you have now dipped your toe into the wonderful world of Italian horror and you absolutely should continue. The music, the sets, the weird atmosphere, the art… sublime. I’d highly recommend watching Argento’s sequel to Suspiria called Inferno, Deep Red, Tenebrae, Opera. Phenomena. His camera work is iconic. And again, the music.. Claudia Simonetti is a legend.
He should totally film the reaction to the Jennifer Connelly one... that one is wild and pretty well acted.
@@EarnestEgregore Phenomena is definitely in my top 5 of Argento's movies. It's more accessible than Suspiria, being less of an "art film" than Suspiria although it's got a very very effective dreamy quality to it. The setting is quite similar to Suspiria. It also feature Donald Pleasance who's doing a great job as usual.
The last technicolor film made in Europe using the old three-pack process. Argento had to go all the way to Japan to buy up enough film stock to complete the film. The soundtrack music was recorded before shooting and actually played on set to terrify the actors. Imagine these sounds and images on the big screen. I've heard that on its initial run it was only played in theatres with four track sound systems, which predated Dolby sound. It must have been sensory overload for filmgoers. An incredible film, a child's nightmare captured on film.
This is art. One of my favorite films of all time and definitely liked that you connected to David Lynch, my favorite film maker. As a music producer as well, the soundtrack (by Italian band Goblin) takes it to a higher level.
easily my favorite opening to any horror movie... the sound and video cuts, with the primary colors in the rain... just *chefs kiss*... itsa the spice.
Suspiria is like a dream. An extraordinary film that stays with you.
... and razor wire is barbed wire x 10
This is yet another one of those films that immensely influenced me. Its use of color, music, camerawork, editing and set design are on another level when it comes to style.
I recommend some other films by Dario Argento, as well as 1981's "Possession". The remake to Suspiria is very different, but also fantastic. Its music is similarly good, but not as good as this one's soundtrack. Wished you had found the 4K cut for Suspiria, as this films deserves that quality!
One of the most beautiful films ever. And the contrast between the beauty and horror is impressive.
"You're on the same path of the other girl, who just got got. So just don't get got. Then you should be good." 😂
😤😭😭😭
So very pleased you got to experience this deeply artful, extremely influential piece of world cinema. Your average American probably doesn't know much about Italian movies, so I'm hopeful more people will want to check them out after seeing this on you channel.
A few Halloween's back, a former employee of mine ran in and shouted, "Goblin's playing the soundtrack to Susperia live around the corner and Grant (me), you're my date because no one else I know has any clue what I'm shouting!"
It was a gasoline soaked 🔥!
I just watched this 4 days ago, loved the cinematography & soundtrack, a kaleidoscopic nightmare fever dream
Hahaha your profile though haha
I love both versions of suspiria, but watching this one the first time was a trip. It got under my skin unlike any other horror movie. The goblin soundtrack is amazing too
Yoooo the band that does the soundtrack, Goblin, is on tour live scoring the movie and then doing various other soundtrack songs and originals. They did both Dawn of the dead and Tenebre. Highly recommend if they are near !
Love this film, the ways it makes you feel just endlessly uncomfortable, the hauntingly loud soundtrack and bright vibrant over the top lights just makes it feel like an attack on your senses
one of my fave horror films mainly because of the colors and the soundtrack!! I only found out about this film from one of those horror film theme compilation playlists and was immediately hooked.
Nice!! There’s so much to like about this one!
One of my favorite films. It also helps that I live near Freiburg and have been walking past the "Ballet School" exterior many many times. The only shot that was actually filmed here in Freiburg.
Like a Grimm's Fairy Tale dialed up to 11! Like you said, not "scary" but definitely nightmarish in a glorious way.
The dance was a "Schuhplattler", a traditional baverian dance.
That's the thing about Dario Argento. He paints such amazingly beautiful, surreal nightmarescapes in his films. He has to be my favorite Giallo director. This movie, The Bird With the Crystal Plumage, Deep Red, and my personal favorite of his, Phenomena starring the always fantastic Jennifer Connelly.
The soundtrack is thanks to his collaboration with the band Goblin.
Suspiria translates loosely to "Whispering," which is why those vocal sounds are present throughout the film. It's the presence of the witches' power surrounding the girls in the school.
There's so much you can say about this movie, but you've put it very well in your final thoughts. Looking forward to more Argento in your future videos. Please do check out Phenomena.
Great reaction! You should totally check out the remake by Luca Guadagnino. It’s a great modern interpretation by a director that loves the source material
Fantastically, beautiful film. And I want to suggest that you react to more films in this specific type of genre called “giallo”, which is Italian for yellow. It’s called that because these types of murder mystery books had yellow covers, but also the association the color itself has in Italy. Little fun fact there. But there’s usually an emphasis on the murders and they’re always pretty brutal and like to show you every second of it. Some good ones that come to mind are “Tenebrae”, “Deep Red” and another film that is part of the “Three Mothers Trilogy” like Suspiria, “Inferno”.
Never has pure terror and carnage been so beautiful! 🤗
I finally just watched this for the first time a few days ago and after hearing so many great things about it, I loved it. The cinematography, the score, the editing, the acting, the use of color & of course the scares were all brilliantly well done. One of the best horror films of the 1970’s. That theme song is so iconic!
You have just touched on quite an interesting niche in world cinema. Giallo is an intriguing strand of Italian cinema and a source of much inspiration. Dario Argento has a long list of films in this genre to his credit. Likewise Lucio Fulci and several other directors. This amazing soundtrack is the work of the master's courtly collaborators, the band Goblin. I sincerely recommend listening to their other work. Even films on the fringes of this trend, such as "The House with Laughing Windows", are worth a look. And, of course, the modern remake of Suspiria is worth watching, where the creators were not afraid to take risks and, in my opinion, the result is not bad.
Suspiria is NOT a giallo.
Suspiria is actually more of a horror film, and a rather unique one at that, but if you look for this style and Dario Argento's hand somewhere it is primarily in the Giallo genre.
@@MaciejCzub i agree that the bulk of Argento's output is classified as giallo. It's a wonderful genre and I'd love to see more giallo films in reaction videos.
Yes!!!!! Im so happy you're finally watching this eyegasm of a movie.
Eyegasm is such a great term to use for Suspiria. Love it (and will probably "borrow" it)!
@@brettcoster4781 hehe go for it
Great stuff, always a joy seeing you have so much fun with a film and so vibrant in your thoughts about it, as always, stay awesome and stay genuine... much love
Hey James - the composer is performing the soundtrack to this live with this film at PhilaMoca on 11/11 in Philly. Go dude!
Seriously, one of my Top 5 Horror films of all time. This is a masterpiece. Looking forward to your unique perspective here.
Hope you enjoy it!! Let me know what ya think!
This was absolutely inventive and oddly strange.. I never new about Giallo horror before until someone put me on this film.. great reaction as always my Dude. Happy Halloween!
Really happy that you got so much out of Suspiria. And you're (of course) right about how the colours/set design and music generate the disturbing vibe used to such great extent in the movie. It's one of my favourite movies. And Jessica Harper, who plays the lead, was also in Phantom of the Paradise and Denton.
One of my favorites in my collection this movie is legit art
Love this film! Fell in love with it when I saw it on smeary, pan & scan, mono, VHS back in the 80s. Now we have it in 4K with Atmos. Your background looks not too dissimilar to Madam Blanc's office!
Welcome to Suspiria! I got to see this in the theater a few years ago when they released the remastered version. They cranked the volume so the soundtrack had full impact.
When I saw this video pop up on my front page I immediately went "I bet James loved it just because of how it looks like" :D
If I were to make a THE horror films list... this would be on that list right next to Evil Dead, The Exorcist, The Shining and Dawn of the Dead.
My personal story with this one is as follows.. we found this vhs rental that was still active in mid 2000's (probably one of the few remaining in the entire city if not the last one) and we'd rent 3 movies every weekend and one of the weeks we rented this one. I don't even remember what the other 2 were that week, I just remember I was mesmerized when I saw this.
Soundtrack is by Goblin who are an Italian group that made a lot of soundtracks but this one is probably the one they're most known for.
Interesting thing about the movie: it was supposedly originally written with kids in mind, 8 to 10 years old, but the producers were hesitant so Dario Argento just aged up the without changing the script (which explains why the characters behave in a very childlike manner). Can you imagine a 10 year old falling into the barbwire room? That'd be really gruesome.
@James VS Cinema This is Dario Argento at his prime. Goblin is the band and they have done a lot of Argento movies. I have seen them in concert 4-5 years ago (yes I'm a goblin fan also)..they are amazing. There is a sequel called Inferno but Keith Emerson did the score...and that is also a really good thing! For more Argento with Goblin try the movie Deep Red.
Please please please please PUH-LEASE watch the 2018 version by Luca Guadagnino - it is my all time favourite horror and an incredible interpretation on every level.
Agreed. It's a perfect sister film to the original.
Someone has almost definitely already said this, but just to repeat then; originally this movie was intended to have the girls be MUCH younger to be at the ballet school, but the distributor didn't want to release a film showing children getting brutally murdered, so they aged up the girls, but dialed up a lot of the elements to make them come across as younger than they really are.
One of my favorite horror films! My college is screening this in a theater this weekend and I am so excited!!
And I am jealous
Oh nice!! That’s gonna be a great time!
A wonderfully unique horror vision that can never be duplicated or equaled.
I adore this film and love the way you described it, a nightmare to remember, which is also a song by the band Dream Theater.
for halloween they are showing suspiria at a local movie palace with claudio simonetti and goblin performing live soundtrack accompaniment with an after show performance. i wont be able to attend, but it sounds like it should be amazing.
Now you'll have to watch the remake. It's one of the most extraordinary remakes ever remade.
People who love film, love this film, and I am one of those people. I have been seeing this on polls for a VERY long time and so excited for you to finally watch it. Also Goblin, who made the soundtrack, are amazing and I was lucky to see them perform this soundtrack live. Here’s to hoping you watch the remake/reboot! (It’s worth it)
This is one of my favorite horror movies of all time and it's definitely my #1 Dario Argento movie. It's a very eerie audio-visual feast for all senses thanks to Argento's unique use of colors + sets and the very unsettling and great soundtrack by Goblin. It's not for everyone but those who are into it are almost fanatic fans of it (I am) as well as other Dario Argento films. He made his best work in the 70'ies and 80'ies with movies like the amazing 1975 movie Deep Red aka Profondo Rosso, often cited as the best giallo of all time. After Suspiria Dario Argento collaborated with George Romero on Dawn of the Dead (1978) and once again brought in Goblin to do the soundtrack. Dario Argento took care of the European release which he edited down to a much shorter but better paced version of the movie while using more of Goblin's music. In 1982 he made the excellent who-dunnit giallo movie Tenebrae which features one of the best one-shot scenes I've ever seen. In 1985 he did Phenomena with Jennifer Connelly in one of her earliest roles. He combined giallo, horror and supernatural fantasy in that one and he used Steadycam for many long, prowling shots.
* In Italian cinema, Giallo (Italian for yellow) is a genre of mystery fiction and thrillers and often contains slasher, crime fiction, psychological thriller, psychological horror, sexploitation, and, less frequently, supernatural horror elements.
I hope we get to see more reactions of Argento's movies, specifically the ones I mentioned which tend to be the most Argento fans favorites. They all have Argento's unique filming style (he was heavily influenced by the giallo master director Mario Bava) and he used Goblin for soundtracking most of the 70'ies and 80'ies movies.
Awesome review! My cool dad took me to see Suspiria when I was in high school back in the late 1970s. The film blew my mind. LOL! It's like a fever dream. I love the cinematography, color, sound, soundtrack, etc. and it's on my Top 10 Favorite Horror Movies list. I'm a big fan of lead actress Jessica Harper.
Joan Bennett ("Dark Shadows-" tv series ) played the Madame Blanc character who would be played by Tilda Swinton in the remake. Italian actress Alida Valli played the harsh schoolmistress who was also part of the coven.
One of my favorites. Such a wild ride
Such a beautiful film. Like a dream.
I got to see this for the first time on my birthday, they screened it with the original band playing the score wish I could watch it that way every time
Other Dario Argento films? YES, please!
My fav is DEEP RED. Maybe the best giallo out there (but you should watch other gialli, too. Especially Mario Bava's BLOOD AND BLACK LACE which (more or less) startet the genre. Mario Bava influenced Dario Argento with the use of colors (and other things).
More Argento's you have to see: INFERNO (the "sequel" to SUSPIRIA), THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE (his first film), and TENEBRE. But everything by him until the late 80s is worth a watch.
I was going to leave a comment about how crazy Italian filmmaking was at the time, especially how common it was to film without audio with actors from different countries delivering dialogue in their own language and then dub everything to fit different languages after, but instead I'll just say that Argento had an incredbile run of films through the 70's and 80's. Especially when Goblin was making the music. This and the film Deep Red are usually considered his best films. It's hard to say which soundtrack I prefer. Goblin was every bit as good at making music as Dario Argento was at making films.
When the woman was dead on the floor with the glass in her face, there is a spot of blood shaped like a witch on a broom. Also, throughout the film Cl audio Simonetti says "Witch". He also keeps whispering that there are witches upstairs.
The fact that because of italian film-making policy at the time movies had to be dubbed for the english audience makes signor Dario Argentos films even more surreal and weird, atleast to me. It brings a sort of surreal character to the voices which fits perfectly into the movie. Masterpiece!
What makes this even more awesome is that Dario Argento was battling severe depression when he made this.
I watch this movie every Halloween. Love that Goblin score
Probably my favorite horror film ever. Just has a special quality to it, and peculiarities and touches that I love, most notably the immersive and intense atmosphere but little things too:
●Those glowing eyes outside the (second floor!) window
●The most ominous lightning/thunder effects ever
●Unnecessary but awesome gargoyle rain spouts
●Foreboding and foreshadowing, dreamlike POV strolls down the creepy but beautiful hallways
●Tall door handles making the characters appear even more child-like and vulnerable
●Those witches' shadows scurrying on the courtyard walls, portending doom for the blind-man
●The art-nouvea, fairly-tale like architecture
●Goblin's soundtrack serving as an entrancing incantation on the audience itself
●Mater Markos' otherworldly growling, raspy voice
●The paranoia caused by characters constantly being manipulated both on and off screen
●A barbed-wire room that has no logical reason for its existence
●The uneasy realization that all the students have left for the night...except for Suzy
●That bat just patiently waiting for Suzy to open the window
Been waiting for more reactions to suspiria
Dario Argento is a great director, you might want to check out Deep Red, Inferno or The Bird with the Crystal Plumage.
Seriously love Bird With the Crystal Plumage 🖤
Goblin (the band that did the score) worked on a number movies in the 70's. The soundtrack to Deep Red (also a film by Dario Argento; it's a great little murder mystery) is a standout to me, but I think most people are familiar with Goblin doing the music for George Romero's Dawn of the Dead.
I absolutely reccomend watching this movie in a theater, its stunning, Argento was a classicalky trained painter, he uad a very great run in the 80s Deep Red is my second favorite (behind Suspira) he also produced films by contemporaties, my favorite of those is probably "Demons"which is a really really fun movie
I saw Suspiria at my local theater. The print was without the music but the band, Goblin, who did the original soundtrack, played the soundtrack live. After the movie, they did music from other movies they had done such as Deep Red, Dawn Of The Dead, Phenomena, etc.
The set pieces feel like a nightmare where the weirdest most insane things come out of nowhere, like the woman falling in the room full of barb wire, a great Fever dream of a film
The new Suspiria directed by Luca Guadagnino will blow your mind.
Bullshit.
Dario Argento makes some very interesting art, and though I don't enjoy all of his work I cannot deny his talent (and damn can he pick a composer). A deep dive into his films will be a wild ride for sure.
Great reaction! I recommend the sequel to this movie called Inferno from 1980. Both similar and very different than Suspiria. Also the 2018 Suspiria "remake" is a great movie. A very rare good remake
Excited to watch this later. Apart from The Thing this is my favorite horror movie. Dario Argento was excellent (until later on but he had an extremely impressive stretch of movies).
The soundtrack is a masterpiece.
Ahhh, James discovers the Giallo dream state movie. Not watched this for ages but I still remember a viewing in a massive Amsterdam auditorium with a booming sound system pumping out Goblins legendary soundtrack high on weed, it was awesome. Dario Argento is the master of the set piece, check out the extended crane shot from Tenebrae. Also look out for "Mario Bava's The Girl Who Knew Too Much" and "Lamberto Bava's Demons" ( It was recently remastered and looks amazing ). Giallo isn't for everyone but if you get it you'll love it.
A giallo is a murder mystery with elements of horror and eroticism. This is a horror film. American fans confuse this issue often but no Italian person would ever call "Suspiria" a giallo. "Deep Red" is a giallo. Hell, "Psycho", "Seven", and "Silence of the Lambs" are gialli.
You simply can't go wrong with any film in Argento's prime years. From 1970's Crystal Plumage to 1987's Opera, he made banger after banger. Highly influential and real auteur. Do yourself a favor and watch em all! Don't forget to also check out films of his mentor and main influence, Mario Bava!
I like the original, but the 2018 remake was so much more brutal and for whatever reason I understood the story better. And Tilda Swinton playing 3 roles was incredible!
The opening scene was on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments. Also my birthday is Sunday! I'll be 32 this year!
Oh man what a great intro to Argento, Italian horror and giallo! Love this film to bits. Whether for the channel or not, carrying on with films like Inferno, Tenebre, Opera, Deep Red etc etc etc are big recommends. Not to mention the "remake". Totally different vibes from that one but honestly an absolute masterpiece in its own way. Keep up the badassery!
One of the greatest movies ever made very classic Suspiria directed by Dario Argento starring Jessica Harper, Stefania Casini, Flavio Bucci and the singer Miguel Bosé as mark. Thank you James for reacting this masterpiece just awesome👍👍👍👍👍
My favorite horror film ever is "The Changeling" with George C. Scott. Everybody has something subtly different from others that they find viscerally scary, creepy, or downright terrifying. Everything about The Changeling, from the set design, acting, lighting, sound, and story just really sucked me in and made me feel it. Highly recommended.
yes! the changeling always struck me as a tragedy told thru the lens of a ghost story. it's such a beautiful movie!
@@olivia-lc5mi i think all the best ghost stories are at their root tragic or sad, more than scary... Look at Turn of the Screw or The Haunting... those are both quite sad really... because at the end of the day to have a ghost, there must be loss of life or love.
@@olivia-lc5mi Exactly!
DUDE!!!! You definitely have to see the other two films now-Inferno and Mother of Tears which are part of Dario Argento’s Three Mothers Trilogy. But I must warn you ahead, Inferno is tamed in violence compared to Suspiria and Mother of Tears. But story wise it’s not bad. But Suspiria is one of the best horror films ever made because of the vibe, music and atmosphere. I always recommend this film for anyone during spooky season.
The main theme is SO FIRE. It was my ringtone for a while.
Probably someone already said that, but the soundtrack is made by Goblin. And just to share a fact, Goblin also made the soundtrack of "Deep red" (Profondo rosso), a movie from tha same director of Suspiria (Dario Argento) and the main theme of Deep red inspired John Carpenter's masterpiece "Halloween" main theme!
Last movie to be filmed using technicolour. It was shot using Kodak Eastman colour stock and printed using the 3 strip technicolour process on one of the last remaining 3 strip processing machines. The results speak for themselves.
Love this movie! Another dark ballet film that’s a must react in my opinion is Black Swan.
James' hair is cool rn I can't be the only one
