Do you know anything about witches? A technicolor nightmare bathed in neon light and scored to the pounding, otherworldly rhythms of Goblin, Dario Argento’s Suspiria is back to play as part of our Sunday Scaries series, presented by Play It By Fear (@playitbyfear.33)!
Suzy (Jessica Harper) travels to Germany to attend ballet school. When she arrives, late on a stormy night, no one lets her in, and she sees Pat (Eva Axén), another student, fleeing from the school. What happens after that is a descent into colorful mystery madness that only Argento could deliver.
Released in 1977 and still unlike anything before or since, Suspiria is the film Argento will be remembered for: a Giallo that transcends the genre, dripping with dread, saturated in color, and terrifying in ways that defy logic. It’s horror as high art. Don’t miss this certified Frida Cinema favorite loud and proud on the big screen where it belongs!
