Film Screening: Suspiria

Event Description

One of cinema’s most potent hallucinogens, this witchy freak-out is a sustained spectacle of eye-popping art direction. When American ballerina Suzy arrives in Germany to study at a renowned dance academy, she stumbles through the looking glass into a maze of mayhem, murder, and maggots. It all takes place in one of film history’s most outlandish haunted houses: a riot of demonic neon lighting and surrealist-baroque décor complete with a barbed-wire room Add the score by prog-occultists Goblin and you’ve got the most extravagant slasher movie of all time. —The Criterion Collection

“Born from passion, terror, and unrivaled artistic vision. If ever there was a ‘perfect’ vision of horror, Dario Argento’s Suspiria would probably be it.” —Headstuff
