Wow that's incredible ratings from Rotten Tomatoes for a Horror film!!!
My Opinion: Dario Argento was a Horror genius of his time and Suspiria was his masterpiece. Even the
rest of the Three Mothers trilogy cannot compete to the first film. Suspiria was the Wizard of Oz of Horror
movies. The colors are undeniably stunning and the script was amazing for its time. From the very beginning
the movie draws you in with its visuals and haunting soundtrack. This movie was ahead of its time and
cannot be duplicated therefore I am ecstatic they will NOT be remaking it anytime soon.
Buyable/Rentable/Trash: If you are a true fan of Horror this is a must buy and is to be cherished. I
bought this film a few years back after watching a show about the top 100 Horror films of all time. I rented it
to start and quickly became obsessed and had to buy it. This movie is Buyable by far.
