Suspiria (1977 Dario Argento)

A masterpiece of mood through Luciano Tovoli's masterly and colourful lighting, Goblin's creepy score and Jessica Harper's bewilderment and fear. Quite nasty in its uncut form, but nevertheless a feast for the eyes and senses.

Shot with a very slow film stock, I seem to remember, and printed with the three strip Technicolor process to give it a unique appearance - the blacks in this film are so black that they make the borders around the letterboxed area look not dark enough!
