Damn right it's not for everyone. I, for one, like to hear the dialogue when it's being spoken, not some loud, overbearing soundtrack that not only seems out-of-place most of the movie but is also out of sync with the editing. Suspiria was not a confusing or even slightly interesting movie in my opinion. But what really bothers me about Argento's films in general is all that LOUD MUSIC. It's brutal. It totally kills any of the subtleness or "creepiness" of some of the more "key" scenes in his movies.

That's one thing I love about his movies. The overbearing soundtrack makes his movies. The Steel Grave tracks on Opera totally make the murder scenes. Dario Argento and subtle are two words that should never go together.

Im surprised Zwoti and Kpro havent come in here shooting everyone who didnt like it in the head.


I actually pretty much despised it. The only part i liked was the chick falling into the room full of razor wire, that was just fucking brutal.

The rest of it... welll... was kind of just a crappy italian horror flick to me. Bad music, bad story, bad acting.

And not good bad like evil dead, just bad.

After seeing a lot of praises for this movie, I purchased it. I was expecting a lot more from this movie, but I was disappointed by it somewhat. I liked the music and some of the gore, but I didnt find the plot very interesting and it wasnt scary at all. And I didnt care for the ending at all. Am i the only one who didnt find this movie very entertaining?? I give it a 6/10. Maybe i didnt find it entertaining because the last few movies i saw were "The Shining", "Saw", "Donnie Darko" and "Dog Soldiers" which all were very good.

"Suspiria" is a work of art. The use of colours, the photography, the soundtrack... all these things make the movie a masterpiece. I didn't find the plot so bad, but it is certainly not the major point of the movie. I don't think u can compare "Suspiria" with "Saw" and "Dog Soldier". I loved them both, but they are a different thing... very "enterteining", but not at the same level if u consider visual and sound aspects. "The Shining" is a masterpiece, nothing to say ;)." Donnie Darko" is a bit overvalued in my own view.... but I didn't see it in english and many people say that the translation into Italian really sucks :(.

i didnt hate it .. just thought it suffered from the huge expectations i had.

The witch thing ... i dunno ..
and i never liked Jessica Harper .. so there were a few things going against it for my personal tastes.

on the other hand i did like the style, score, etc ...
...as always with argento

i understand and appreciate the aesthetics of argento's films....but something doesn't translate for me...i think it's the dubbed voices that bother me...
