This year is the 45th anniversary of Dario Argento's seminal modern horror film, SUSPIRIA. Basically, a study in witchcraft, it goes far beyond the typical trappings of such a theme and immerses the viewer in a dense shroud of visual fear and terror. Argento's films are known for being uneven and riven with outright duds, but SUSPIRIA rises above as one of his best. This article from STARBURST (December, 2018) tracks Argento's career.
I've never seen Suspiria. I have never developed a taste for these kind of movies. I think it's because they genuinely scare me in ways I don't find pleasant. Maybe I need to check it out before I judge it though.
ReplyDeleteSuspiria is a good one to start with. More horror than Giallo, which is usually a little more bloody. Weird, but pretty good!
