Review ------ Thunderstorms and extraordinarily grotesque murders pile up as Argento happily abandons plot mechanics to provide a bravura display of his technical skill. With his sharp eye for the bizarre and for vulgar over-decoration, it's always fascinating to watch; the thrills and spills are so classy and fast that the movie becomes in effect what horror movies seemed like when you were too young to get in to see them. Don't think, just panic. --Scott Meek, Time Out London SUSPIRIA is not just AN Italian horror movie - it is THE Italian horror movie⁖ It is the greatest triumph of a very specific branch of filmmaking, and deserving of a reputation even more grandiose than the one it enjoys. This isn't just a good, unnatural horror movie, it is one of the great works of cinema. --Tim Brayton, Alternate Ending Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA is easily one of the greatest horror movies ever made. It's one of the very few horror movies I can call perfect, and I rarely ever do that⁖ Dario Argento sneaks in such a simplistic premise under such a wonderful and masterful production that combines direction and a brilliant score for one hell of a nightmarish punch⁖ SUSPIRIA is a masterpiece that should be viewed by movie buffs, and film students alike. It' s an absolute standard of the genre. --Felix Vasquez, Cinema Crazed
