Suspira is beautiful; the sets, color and symmatry, and the meticulous direction definitely gives you an idea where Kubrik got a lot of his inspiration.
And even though there isn't a HUGE body count, I thought that the death scenes were INCREDIBLY gory and well-done (esecially gory for the time that the movie came out), BUT there is the typical Italian art-house red paint at times, and the end was incredibly contrived.
I'll have to see more Argento.

Agreed. After my first viewing I though to myself "Well I'm gonna have to find Inferno, see if the plot makes more sense."
I bought Suspiria about a week ago though, and have since watched it so many times that it's death scenes are losing their "umph", I used to shake so badly every time I watched it. I recently watched Deep Red and Suspiria one after the other and got more of a reaction from the guy getting his teeth smashed in Deep Red than any of Suspiria so I'm gonna have to put it away for a few weeks, see if there's any improvement. I still love how artsy it is though.
