Susperia

We could thank Dario Argento for a number of different elements that make horror films effective such as weird camera angles, bizarre lighting, and gruesome deaths. This "Gialla" style horror film has really not been matched. I can't think of what to compare it to. The movie is unsettling over all, and really takes time to sink in. Yes, it is oddly paced as far as the action goes, but it never stops being fascinating. If you don't know the plot, it is about an American ballet dancer who decides to take her studies to Germany, only to find out the horrible truth about the directors of her dance studio. The surprises are numerous. I had fun watching this odd gem. Justice is served for the day. And remember,the only thing more terrifying than the last 12 minutes of the film are the first 92.
