SUSPIRIA (1977)

"Bad luck isn't brought by broken mirrors, but by broken minds."
In the 70's and 80's Italian horror film director Dario Argento created a sub-genre know as giallo. This 20th century style has been an influence in the genre til today; combining elements of a slasher, psychological thriller, sexploitation, and often supernatural elements. "SUSPIRIA" is all of these and more tightly packed into a 90 minute runtime. I really enjoyed the whole movie. The plot's mystery is suspenseful, tied in with a genius soundtrack and gorgeous, dark cinematography- I was holding my breathe the whole film. Very impressed by the use of shadows and neon lighting, which mimic the mood of each scene.
Often the main focal point of a shot is a shadow. This is definitely a film to watch, or rewatch, especially for those interested in the 2018 reboot.
