Suspiria is a film by the man many call the master of horror; Dario Argento; though I don't quite understand how since this film makes less sense than the Elephant Man's face.

It follows the story of a young American girl who moves to Germany to attend a well renowned dance school. There she finds that people are randomly dying, and it definitely has nothing to do with cucumbers.

The film is very aesthetically pleasing; with a very interesting art style and great use of red, green, and blue lighting. This is combined with brilliant cinematography and equally good sound design. It's just a shame that the story makes less sense than the Elephant Man's face.

The film doesn't shy away from gore; as you would expect with an Argento; featuring scenes that would put Final Destination to shame (though it should already be pretty ashamed of itself); and it builds suspense extremely well. The only problem is that it all goes Elephant Man face-shaped at the end.

The hero of the film randomly meets up with an expert in the occult who tells her that the school she is attending was set up by a witch. Then she goes back and finds the room where all the witches are. Then she gets chased by the witches and stabs an invisible witch which causes the other witches to die and the building to fall apart Indiana Jones style. It's a shame because the first half of the film is very promising, and it just seems to lose focus; much like what people assume has happened to their eyes when they first see the Elephant Man.

This film is definitely only for Argento fans and people who can appreciate the technical side of things. Just like how you would show the Elephant Man to a doctor but not your mum.
