This week on Cinematic Flashback, Chuck is joined by guests Jeff Johnson and Amanda Janik to step inside Dario Argento’s visually unforgettable 1977 horror classic, Suspiria.
Jessica Harper stars as Suzy Banion, an American dancer who arrives at a prestigious German dance academy and quickly discovers that something is very wrong. From its saturated Technicolor imagery and hypnotic Goblin score to its fairy-tale atmosphere, shocking violence, and increasingly bizarre mystery, Suspiria remains one of the most distinctive horror films of the 1970s.
We talk about Argento’s influences, the film’s connection to Giallo, its unforgettable opening sequence, those colors, that music, the maggots, the razor wire, and whether Suspiria is actually frightening—or simply deeply unsettling.
More than forty years later, does Suspiria still groove through the decades, or does it skip a beat?
