Suspiria had 2 things going for it: Jessica Harper and its look (direction, cinematography and art direction). Jessica Harper put in a good performance while surrounded by mediocre to bad actors, and the movie just looks really damn good. And the "dog kills the owner" scene in Suspiria was done far better than the similar scene in The Beyond
btw, something that pisses me off about Fulci: He has talent, and you'll never hear me say otherwise. But he NEVER USES IT! I get a glimpse here and there of his artistic abilities, mostly in Zombi 2, but he just puts out these shit movies.
