Dario Argento's Susperia

Posted by Vinyleer (A) on December 4, 2006 at 19:30:09

Just received in the mail a DVD, directors Cut of Suspiria. Bought it on Ebay.

I experienced the film with bose full surround sound and a 56-inch Hitachi (16-9 windscreen). Before watching the film I ran the contrast, brightness, hew-saturation, color tests, and dialed it. These video tests come with the cd.

The film is very interesting with its very vibrant and deep pastel colors. The image wrapped around the goblins soundtrack was truly more disturbing than what I remembered.

This film is not for the faint of heart. There are some truly disturbing murder scenes. How Argento was able to capture the dog taking multiple stringy bites of flesh out of the blind mans neck was a worthy but grotesque mention.

One scene showed a woman falling into a small room full of what appeared to be military style tangled razor wire. She was only making things worst by screaming for her life and falling deeper into it. Then out of nowhere a gloved hand comes out and cuts her throat. Argento must have used parts of a pig to cut into in order to create a scene that looked very realistic.

Of the murder scenes the most frightening was the first one. A woman feels a presence outside her window. She's in a bathroom shaking with fear. Looking out the dark windy night through her reflective bathroom window she sees two evil eyes glowing looking back at her. Next a hand breaks through the glass and pulls her outside, stabbing her multiple times, you see her beating heart, and then the thing stabs her again (her beating heart). Next this beast ties a phone cord around her neck tosses her through a stained glass ceiling, killing another girl watching from below. She dies by a large piece of glass falling and slicing into her head.

I tell you... I don’t know who's more disturbed... Me who watched this film, or the one who thought this stuff up in their head(s)
This film has some strange lines from the actors, some parts could easily make a midnight movie crowd bust out with laughter, but the other parts would quite them down in a hurry. If you like fascinating color with horrific horror and a 70’s feel, than check it out
