Finally saw my first Dario Argento film last night, Suspiria on Anchor Bay DVD, and first let me say what a great transfer it was, especially considering its age.
I was mostly impressed by the film too, it was visually stunning, some great suspense sequences and what a great score! But the plot... I understand that you don't watch Dario Argento's films for the plots but there are still a few questions I'd like answered:
Who dunnit for one thing? Unless I missed it, the film never tells you who the killer with the knife is. And why was a knife even necessary, if the witches can kill with their powers? And why did they kill the blind man? And where did the maggots come from? And why was there a room full of barbed wire in a ballet school? And why would it be in the interests of the owners of a ballet school to kill off their rich, paying students? And why would a witch want to start up a ballet school in the first place? I think I need some of these answered before I can even consider moving on to Inferno.
