Suspiria

...I remember hearing good things about it...saw it cheap and picked it up a while back, and have been toying with the notion of watching it.
So, is it any good?
Anyone wanna tell me a little about it without fucking up the plot entirely?

Interestingly shot and full of beautiful colors and some nice kills. The plot can drift and the pacing can be a bit slower than some would like but I think it ends up being a great film. Wonderful music too...

Personally, I love it. It isn't Argento's best, and the acting is atrocious, but it really is a fun ride.
And it has the creepiest horror score of all time, hands down, thanks to Goblin.

The best slasher made, IMO...with a lot of inventive kills and coupled with an awesome soundtrack by Goblin. The pacing can be a bit awkward to anyone who isnt familiar with Argento, but its a brilliant movie.

Watch it and lets see what you think of it, Cheebs.

I thought it was drastically over-rated. It was too artistic and slow paced for my taste. I found it rather boring. The music was eerie though.

it's a really great film, i think. as mostly everyone above already said, it's extremely artistic and compositionally incredible. the whole thing is just really stylish and a lot of fun to watch. the only complaint is that it's somewhat anticlimactic, but not even enough to make it upsetting or anything. but yeah, definitely give it a watch.

actually, my signature is my favorite still from the film.

I've only watched it for the first time about a week ago, but I really enjoyed Suspiria. I think Argento did a great job on it. So much so, I ordered Deep Red and Inferno from Amazon today! :D

I'm an artsy kinda gal so I loved it. Some of the gore is pretty cheesy but I think it was wonderful.

Deep Red is Argento's masterpiece, and one of my favorite films to boot. Inferno ain't bad, either.
