With a style as ornate and over-the-top as Dario Argento's, you need your story to be a simple as possible. The characters can't even be realistic or they would stand out like sore thumbs in this world of pink and purple lights. Oh and what gorgeous lights they are. Suspiria is easily one of the most beautiful looking horror films you will ever encounter. The whole film is beautiful, which works in perfect contrast with the grand-guignol killings on display. Oh and then there's the music!
