It's like a nightmare version of Snow White...and one of the last films shot in three-strip technicolor.

Great horror flick, very well made. The music, as many have said, adds a lot to it. It also has my all-time favorite horror trap, involving razor wire-anyone who's seen it knows what I'm talking about.

its one of the greats but only in the minds of horror afficionados. visually stunning with a great story but the kills are the thing that stand out for me. when you see the first kill you'll be bowled over. the movie is pure argento so if you like his other stuff you'll be in heaven.

The acting was great, as was the visual imagery. I can see why these films by Argento are held in such high regard.

Glad to hear you liked it! The puppet scene always makes me wonder if it was the inspiration for Saw...

some fans view suspiria as being a "giallo"
i once read a giallo as being " a murder mystery done in the style of a horror film" given that ; i think of suspiria as being a" horror film "done in the style of a "giallo " [if that makes any sence]

yeah they are murder mysteries albeit extremely violent murder mysteries. i know a lot of you already know this but for those that don't; the popular italian best selling murder mystery novels of the 50's and 60's (i think) were predominantly published with yellow covers. the subsequent fad for italian directors to make movies in the style of these books needed a name. hence, the italian word for yellow was employed. so, by definition a giallo can only be murder mystery. just cause argento, for example, makes a movie, doesn't mean it has to fall into that category, it could be horror. basically, if the movie flows like ruth rendell but with extremely violent murders its giallo. horror and giallo are mutually exclusive. IMO. almost forgot, suspiria is a horror, tenebrae isn't
