An American ballet student joins a prestigious dance academy in Freiburg, Germany, but she soon discovers that something dark and sinister is taking place within its walls. Dario Argento's supernatural horror movie has become a cult favourite thanks to its vivid and saturated colours and Goblin's weird and wonderful soundtrack. However, the performances have not aged well and the story, which is loosely based on Thomas De Quincey's 1845 essay Suspiria de Profundis, is complete nonsense. Remade by Luca Guadagnino in 2018.
