Suspiria

If I was ever on mastermind I would like to think Italian horror movies from the 70′s would be a specialist subject I could have a fair pop at – They can be at time surprisingly well crafted, great for their time and they have killer dark wobbly prog funk soundtracks which quite frankly get me pretty excited.

One of the classics of the of the ‘giallo’ genre is ‘Suspiria’ – a tale of a pretty ballet dancer who starts at a new dance school where dark forces are murdering other students.  Dario Argento directs, and yes the effects are pretty hammy and yes the blood looks like nail varnish – but the shoestring budget is pushed well into breaking and the gorgeous lighting and colour hues really do work.

So if you do fancy a slice of this horror pie then I suggest you catch the screening as  part of the Curzon Midnight Movies and Cine-Excess of a restored print of SUSPIRIA introduced by the cult film director himself -  Dario Argento and composer Claudio Simonetti (“Goblin”).

The screening is on Saturday 2nd May at 11.30pm.
