Suspiria (1977)


IMDb plot summary: A newcomer to a prestigious ballet academy comes to realize that the school is a front for something sinister amidst a series of grisly murders.
Directed by Dario Argento. Starring Jessica Harper, Stefania Casini, Flavio Bucci, and Miguel Bosé.

I get why people love this. It's very stylistically unique. I, however, couldn't get past the simplistic writing and the abrasive soundtrack. I admire it but I don't like it.

2 stars.
