Synopsis: Dario Argento's masterpiece of horror, with its assault of garish colors, booming soundtrack and horrifically dreamlike set pieces, is the cinematic equivalent of an exceptionally scary fun house.... [More]

Reviews for Suspiria
Top CriticA direção de arte e fotografia impecáveis, associadas à angustiante trilha e à direção segura de Argento, compensam as más atuações e o roteirofraco, criando uma experiência intensa e incômoda.
01/01/09
Argento's skilful use of unsettling, intense colour and stunning set designs adequately obscure the film's numerous structural flaws.
10/19/08
A strange combination of the art house and the slaughterhouse, it may be too violent for the typical cineaste and too contrived for the typical gore-hound. Yet somehow Argento impressively straddles both worlds, offering a unique vision ...
07/04/08
One of the most important horror films ever made
06/19/08
As an appetizer to the thoroughly bizarre world of Italian horror, Suspiria is the perfect antipasto.
09/26/07
Throughout this nerve-wracking journey, Argento's sly gift is to strike when you least expect it.
03/29/07
Argento works so hard for his effects -- throwing around shock cuts, colored lights, and peculiar camera angles -- that it would be impolite not to be a little frightened.

Top CriticIt's always fascinating to watch; the thrills and spills are so classy and fast that the movie becomes in effect what horror movies seemed like when you were too young to get in to see them.

Dario Argento's best-known film is a Cinemascope, pinwheel lollipop-colored spin through a haunted German dance academy.
04/01/06
Only catches fire when it has run out of imagination to end it in any other way but through a pyrotechnic display.

a wild feast of imagery that has never since been duplicated
08/15/05
Mr. Argento's methods make potentially stomach-turning material more interesting than it ought to be.
05/09/05
Top CriticA get-under-your-skin makes no sense classic with some of the scariest images ever put on film.

02/10/04
Overrated Argento thriller. Great design and the lamest climax on record.
01/29/04
The final revelations aren't especially difficult to discern and ultimately are a tad unrewarding but Argento never takes his foot off the atmospheric pedal, and the anxiety in the viewer lingers until the credits begin to roll.
07/22/03
...all the visual artistry in the world can't compensate for a lousy script.
