The plot of Suspiria is pretty whatever—even Dario Argento has done better. But he’s certainly never topped Suspiria‘s astonishing, shrieking assault of color and sound. It’s some kind of unwritten law that the less your horror movie focuses on dialogue, the better off you probably are. Argento targets his thrills at the senses, not silly reality (or lack thereof), and benefits all the more from it. Plus, it has one of the greatest movie themes of all time and inspired Clock Tower. I trust that reputation.
