From his stylish, atmosphere-laden opening, director Dario Argento relentlessly assaults his audience with his own rock score as Jessica Harper gets threatened by location, cast, weather and camera. The extraordinarily grotesque murders pile up as Argento happily abandons plot mechanics to provide a bravura display of his technical skill and with his naturally sharp eye for the bizarre, it's always fascinating to watch; the thrills and spills that the movie delivers. Suspiria is a treat for classic horror fans and a must watch for modern horror filmmakers who often miss their mark.
