Made in 1977 by Dario Argento, Suspiria takes place at a dance academy. Suzy Bannion, a new student, arrives the same night another student is murdered. As she stays, she is not comforted by the unusual staff, her sudden fatigue, or the continuing murders. When she discovers the school's past as a place of witchcraft, she decides to uncover the mystery behind the school.
Sound familiar? I'm pretty sure Suspiria was at least partial inspiration for The Woods.
Suspiria is an interesting film. The story is rather weak (actually rather fairy tale-like, which makes sense as Snow White was one of Argento's inspirations; given that understanding, the somewhat simplistic story becomes easier to accept) and for a horror film, there is never really any fear or terror. Suspiria is an experience, a beautiful and unusual vision. It won't make much sense, but it stays with you.
And now for the real reason I watched the film: the sets. I need that office like oxygen.
