Suspiria (1977)

     
      Watched Suspiria because i've read its Argento's best film, and I had a lot of fun watching Demons, SO WHY NOT! So basically its about this girl who goes to this dance academy, and while shes there people are dying and weird stuff is happening and it turns out the academy is ran by a coven of witches!

      Now normally if I read a description and it included witches, I most likely wouldn't watch, BUT it was on the instant queue and had excellent reviews so..yeah.


      Overall it was a pretty good movie. It wasn't that scary of a movie, the music was probably the scariest part.  If you think about it realistically I'm sure it would be terrifying, but the movie itself didn't do it for me.  The use of colored light was pretty interesting, using exaggerated blues,reds, etc.,I haven't seen lights used like that before in horror movies, SO THAT WAS COOL.  I found the story to be kind of slow, and I got bored with it at parts. I will say the opening scenes were awesome, with the girl getting hung in the center of the room through the glass ceiling, And the ending scenes were pretty scary, but other than that there wasn't much gore or any really scary parts.

    I recommend it to anyone who wants to see a classic Italian horror movie.  But if ridiculous gore and intensely scary scenes is what you are looking for, then you will probably not enjoy this that much.
