Product Description

Product Description

Suzy Bannion is an American ballet student, travelling to Germany to study at an exclusive dance academy in the Black Forest. After one of the students and her friend are hideously murdered in the first of Argento's breath-catching set-piece killings, Suzy discovers that the academy has a bizarre history and, as the body count rises, she gets involved in a hideous labyrinth of murder, black magic and madness. Utilising complex lighting systems, intense film processing techniques, wire-guided cameras and multi-layer music recording (highlighting a superb Goblin score), Argento paints a masterpiece of terror on a technically impeccable canvas.

From Amazon.co.uk

Outside of devoted cult audiences, many Americans have yet to discover the extremely stylish, relentlessly terrifying Italian horror genre, or the films of its talented virtuoso, Dario Argento. Suspiria, part one of a still-uncompleted trilogy (the luminously empty Inferno was the second), is considered his masterpiece by Argento devotees but also doubles as a perfect starting point for those unfamiliar with the director or his genre. The convoluted plot follows an American dancer (Jessica Harper) from her arrival at a European ballet school to her discovery that it's actually a witches coven; but, really, don't worry about that too much. Argento makes narrative subservient to technique, preferring instead to assault the senses and nervous system with mood, atmosphere, illusory gore, garish set production, a menacing camera, and perhaps the creepiest score ever created for a movie. It's essentially a series of effectively unsettling set pieces--a raging storm that Harper should have taken for an omen, and a blind man attacked by his own dog are just two examples--strung together on a skeleton structure. But once you've seen it, you'll never forget it. --Dave McCoy --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 starsHorror as Art...a true masterpiece
By Ceallaigh on 3 Feb. 2012
Format: DVD
This is my favourite Dario Argento yet without doubt, and though there are many of his I have yet to see (including his classic Inferno), I can't see that changing...it's just a unique horror film, extremely clever, extremely well made, and beautifully filmed and choreographed...I have always loved Argento's over-the-top, elaborate murder scenes, which are especially good in Suspiria (the first murder scene surely goes down as one of the greatest horror scenes ever)...the cinematography, the sets, the unreal, almost psychedelic use of colour, the art noveau style...

Goblin's fantastic soundtrack is also unlike any other in horror films...using bizarre instruments like sitar and didgeridoo, much of it isn't even musical...it just matches the film perfectly, and acts as a truly horrific wall of noise some times, reaching in incredible crescendo at the right moments, which sounds great on this restored, great quality release...the visual quality is perfect too, could have been made ten years ago...I imagine the blu ray looks even better...

and on top of this the theme and setting is original and works really well too...generally a fan of serious, supernatural and witch-related films, I love the idea of this mysterious coven in a ballet school...

Can't fault this DVD...though I would love to see a nicely packaged Arrow Video release, the flawless quality of the restored film itself, and the special features - featuring film critics such as Kim Newman and the thoughts of Argento himself and Goblin's keyboard wizard Claudio Simonetti - definitely make it worth getting.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Masterpiece of Dario Argento's work.
By Puzzle box on 13 Mar. 2013
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
First things first, let's briefly look at the film itself...I wont waste time as any horror fan worth their salt will no doubt have seen the legendary 'Suspiria' countless times by now. But for any newcomers to the scene this 70's horror classic follows the lovely Suzi Banyon (played by Jessica Harper in her finest role) as she arrives at her new ballet school in Bavaria, Germany. Arriving late in the midst of a furious storm she finds herself locked out of the prestigious establishment and has to seek alternate accommodation, but as she heads off in her taxi she notices a distressed girl run off in the distance. The girl has just been ejected from the school decrying that something 'absurdly fantastic' is going on there, but as she holds up in a friends stylish art deco apartment both she and her friend soon fall foul to an evil mysterious presence in one of the most stylish and graphic showstopping death scenes to be seen in a horror movie in a long time. The next day Suzi manages to gain access to her new school and quickly settles in and is introduced to her colleagues and teacher... but before you think we're sliding into a girls own adventure you're swiftly assured that this is anything but that.

Argento's Suspiria is without doubt one of the horror genres true cinematic classics, why so some may ask? Well after viewing the film it should be all to clear (even for those who may not be fans of the directors output in general) - 'Suspiria' is the sum total of collaboration perfection...at the fore is the stunning directorial skills of Argento himself, using the scope of the viewed image he creates every shot as though it is a work of art; stylish, rich and colourful, quite simply a visual delight.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsSuspiria 1976 [2 disc version]
By Throda tzen on 14 Feb. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is a 1977 supernatural horror that follows Suzy Bannion [Jessica Harper] as an American ballet student who arrives during a raging storm at a prestigious dance academy in Germany. Things go awry from the start and she is turned away, only to later discover her arrival coincided with a gruesome double murder. We then follow her as she tries to come to grips with events around her.
From the stylish, atmosphere-laden opening you are relentlessly assaulted by the progressive rock score (full of whisperings and heavy-breathing) added to the bold use of colour filters and forced lighting which heightens the atmosphere at every turn. Even the sets are bathed in over the top gothic romanticism and the over-decoration reminding one of Laurence Llewelyn Bowen [Google him], It's a visual and aural feast and it's always fascinating to watch.
This is a 2 disc package. The first holds the film and the standard chapter selection, extras [2 trailers for it, poster & still gallery plus a few other bits]. The second disc is a commentary and advert for Argento's other movies. Don't watch the trailers as it will ruin the suspense and acccording to which the film should run at 104 minutes -It doesn't, it's cut by 10 minutes [lose a *] being 94 minutes long.
The other problem is that the plot is quite weak, the storyline is feeble and it relies on its artistic flair to pull it out of the mundane, something it achieves with perfection. The film deserves to be given a low rating as it does get a bit monotonous, but the technical angle saves it. Yet it remains an outstanding **** rating.

4.0 out of 5 starsArgento, Goblin, Valli & Bennett = dance horror perfection
By L.J.F.64 on 21 Jun. 2015
Format: DVD
An American girl goes to a famous German ballet school for training, on arrival she meets a young woman who later that night brutally murdered, as others start to disappear or are murdered she begins to uncover that the school may have a connection to a coven of witches.

Dario Argento's mesmerizing 1977 horror is a pleasure to watch. Certainly one of the very best looking horror pictures ever, Argento and cinematographer Luciano Tovoli definitely have crafted a superb visual horror experience, with the vivid red and greens prominently displayed in all there glory. Argento also maintains a stunning and scary atmosphere throughout with some of the most memorable horror sequences ever, from the eyes appearing out of the window to the fiery climax there really is something for everyone to enjoy, the Goblin soundtrack adds brilliantly to the film, from big & bold suspense pieces to some very understated but dramatic scenes all the score adds to the atmosphere of each scene. The cast are another strong point, Jessica Harper is very good in the lead role with her vulnerability adding to the dimension of the character, but Alida Valli & Joan Bennett as the school staff shine above everyone else, both are fantastic and bring a level of class to the whole cast. The only minor weakness the film has is the story, everything else is brilliant and highly original, but the story- girl discovers a coven of witches- is, even in the late 70's a bit tired, however this doesn't mean its any less watchable.Read more ›
