Suspiria

Rating: 7

The movie employs flamboyant use of color. I would call it an Italian Shining had it released after The Shining (1980).

The Good - Use of color! The movie has excessive use of dramatics. The soundtrack, colored lighting and the use of gore is prominent throughout. The cinematography, use of imbibition colors makes this movie *eye-catching*

The Bad - Color is the only praise worthy aspect of this movie. Although the movie lays emphasis on gore and is intriguing till the end, the plot is fairly laid out and the acting falls weak. I would simply call this film an art movie which experiments with Horror.

Still, Suspiria has a legacy which topples the movies of the current era. It is definitely in my list of must-watch movies!
