It should be pointed out that Suspiria was written with the intention to have children play the students, but the producers knew the movie would never pass the censors (or, probably, wouldn't even be distributed) if it had full on butchery of kids in it. But Argento kept the child-like dialogue, and even had the sets architected to make the characters look smaller and child like. The door knobs are raised so Susie has to reach up to open them. The story also came from Dario Nicoladi's grandmother who said she went to a private school with an urban myth of it being run by witches.
You know what, that factoid about the movie makes the scene about the people whose names start with "S" being snakes far more believable, it's a very childish thing to say ... seeing adults (or late teens) saying very childish stuff like that was a little out of place.
I always figured that the blue lights in the film are showing the audience things that are actually in the dark for the characters. The barbed wire scene is scarier if you realize that it's all in the pitch black for the character. We can see it, she can't. Also, not talking about the scene with the blind man and his dog is criminal!
The dumbest thing is it's not even barbed, it's just wires and the movie is choke-full with moments like that. Shoud've been called Suspiria of Disbelief
@@schweppes1313 1) It doesnt matter if there are barbs or not because they never clarify it's barbed wire. She's trapped, simple as that. If you're letting that ruin the movie for you, it's a you thing and has nothing to do with the quality of the film. 2) I'm gonna be real with you dude, it's not set in reality. The film opens with this hint that the world outside the doors is Argento's, and he's going to take us on a fantastical adventure that evolves into a nightmare. It's a genius film and an incredible experience.
@@colevacheron7312 Sure. Sarah just has an extreme case of hematidrosis, that's also why we don't see her dance. It all makes sense now. I'm all for surreal and dreamlike imagery, but it still has to translate character's experience to the audience to make them invested in whatever's happening on screen. This movie has amazing camera work, gorgeous set design, cool soundtrack and the opening scene works extremely well, especially for 1977. But it's far from perfect and moments like that wire trap or killer's bone-chilling struggle against The Latch don't really enchance the viewing experience.
"It's a nightmare" is the best description I've ever heard for Suspiria. Nightmares are almost always rective, not proactive. You only realize things are happening once they've happened. It's the best explanation for the barbed wire scene I've come across. Not in the sense that it's a plot hole that needs filling, but because the characters can't know anything the viewer doesn't know. She didn't know the barbed wire was there because we didn't. Honestly, that's kind of a stroke of genius in helping me explain why other people should watch it.
@@User-xw6kd Yeah a lot of Italian movies were made like that for a while. They were shot without audio, all sounds were added back in later, and the actors would speak their own native languages and then be re-dubbed in whatever language they needed.
Honestly this is the perfect platform for Josh. On BOTW he wants to recap those terrible movies beat by beat by beat, while the other three panelists generally don't care and will make jokes over the top of him, sometimes to his frustration. Here at least his attention to detail is worth the effort.
The funniest bit in all of BOTW is when Josh yells at Mike and Rich talking amongst themselves while he’s explaining a film and he says “Im trying to talk about Dr Butcher” and Rich plainly says “No one cares.”
Josh and Rich are my favorite re:view hosts. I always see comments complaining that they want more of Rich and Mike cracking jokes but I actually like the commentary these guys bring. Josh shines when he's in a focused, mostly-serious discussion, as seen with the episodes on Erasherhead, Fire Walk With Me, Martin, and Pink Flamingos. He always brings lots of good insights to the table even when everyone is ragging on him for not being hammy like Rich and Mike. I like crude jokes at the expense of elderly people and AIDs, but I also like articulate and impassioned film discussion.
Additionally, I think Josh has some underrated lines that are funny not by virtue of him deliberately trying to be jokey, but just how he passionately he phrases stuff. I still think of the time they discussed "Wired to Kill" and Josh has this genuine exasperation his voice when he says "Becky _just_ wanted a place to fucking sleep." There's also the last episode of BotW where Mike is about to pull another "Vampire Assassin" and Josh immediately guesses what he's about to do, which I got a good chuckle from.
I first saw Suspiria in cinemas a few years ago, and it was simply one of the great experiences of my life. Everyone reacted appropriately, everyone there was a fan of cinema, everyone loved it. The soundtrack was so loud, it felt like a rock concert.
The good thing about the ending is that the house itself concedes defeat to the victorious Susie and allows her to leave, opening an escape path for her amidst the chaos of its self-destruction. That's why the ending has never seemed too abrupt or unsatisfying to me. And I love that a smiling Susie is allowed her victory without some crummy last-second twist that robs her (and us) of it.
3:57 It's funny because I'm italian and I growed up with dubbed films, so when I first started watching english movies in their original language I basically had your same reaction! XD
I'll throw my hat into this ring and wish for a 'Lost Highway' re:View. I've got a feeling, though, that the next piece of Lynch's work they'd cover in an episode would be 'Blue Velvet'.
fun fact the film phenomena actually served as the main inspiration for the survival horror game "Clock Tower" to the point where the lead actresses likeness was used.
Part of what i love about the original is that there are moments in the film that you get the feeling the characters are being watched, but it's never confirmed if they are. Like when they're swimming in the pool and then it's an Arial shot with intense music while they're talking.
Lol it did cross my mind that there was a reason that jay and josh did this episode. Actually it crossed my mind watching the review of the remake. They did that one too.
As I was watching this film something donned on me; I think I've seen this plot before. Then I remembered, I saw a parody of this on The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy when I was a kid. The episode in question was "Billy Idiot" where Billy enrolls in a ballet school only to discover it's run by this witch who steals the souls of the students.
22:57 I’d love a Re:View for Twin Peaks The Return. I know it’s technically a full season of television but it felt more like Lynch’s 18-hour magnum opus to me.
What's funny is that the first time I watched Suspiria I didn't even know it had been dubbed into English, so I watched the Italian version with English subtitles. I still really loved it though because holy crap those visuals are really wonderful. Besides Mandy, I can't think of another movie that was so bold with color.
I watched this movie with a buddy of mine a year back. It was my first time watching it. He was really insistent that I would love it. Kind of what Jay says at the end hits home for me. Suspiria is one of the most visually entertaining things I have ever seen. I doubt Ill ever see a movie shot this well and be utterly captivating.
I love the original Suspiria so much! I'm dying to see the new Luca Guadagnino version too. Always good to see Jay and Josh covering the weirder films on Re:view!
My first encounter with "Suspiria" was back sometime in the mid 80's. I happened upon it at one or two in the morning one weekend over summer vacation - back when a handful of broadcast channels would run movies instead of signing off. One local affiliate in particular would routinely air Italian schlock cinema. I was genuinely creeped-out by it but was so mesmerized that I could not stop watching. The barbed wire scene has always stuck with me - the whole thing captured the tone and logic of a nightmare, not unlike Don Coscarelli's "Phantasm" (1979).
@@allgonoemo4217 It isn't "being pretentious". It is refreshing to see a director who does seem to perfectly understand what makes of another movie a classic and then using this understanding to tell his own story. If anything I found the remake of Suspiria "pretentious". It tried to put complexity in what is actually a very simple dark fairy tale - thus totally missing the point.
@@vincenzoberetta1085 what is u talking about baby Neon Demon isnt even in the same neighborhood as Suspiria Colours go brrrr but so what Dont be so pretentious
Yay, I just recently borrowed the limited Anchor Bay DVD from my brother and will watch it for the first time today. Right after I´ll watch this. Perfect!
Update: The region free DVD Player, that I also borrowed for this purpose, seems not be working. No Signal ... Although I tested it last weekend and everything worked fine! Screw you technology! Fuckin depressing.
Can't believe you overlooked the horrific scene where that blind guy's seeing-eye dog gets demon possessed and attacks him. The tragedy of that scene and the way the tension built as the dog was barking ferociously at an invisible entity in that dark courtyard at night, while the blind guy just stood there freaking out, until his dog turned on him. That scene still bothers me.
just watching this for the first time, thank you for reviewing this one!! I love the original Suspiria so I was so excited to see this!! One of the most gorgeous horror movies ever.
Pat Hingle's been in his fair share of pulpy westerns, too. I recognized him from Hang 'Em High, which was probably the most lynching-focused western of the 20th Century.
The crashing through the stained class ceiling window, the little bowl cut boy, and even some musical stings were brought back in the Super Famicom and PS1 Clock Tower games. :)
Dario Argento sounds like a frozen dinner brand that I'd get at the supermarket. "I don't feel like cooking tonight, I'm gonna go get a frozen lasagna." "Make sure you get Dario Argento. They're the best."
My first experience of Suspiria was at the Revelation Perth International Film Festival where Goblin performed a LIVE SOUNDTRACK to the film!!! It was absolutely AMAZING.
Oh, wow! I'm going to see this at my local independent theater tonight! I can't wait to see it on the big screen and then watch this re:view. 🤩 Props to the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge for consistently screening awesome movies. 💖 And props to RLM for being inexplicably in tune with my movie watching habits all the time. 🤓 Keep this stuff coming, I love all of your perspectives!
Great Review! You should watch Berberian Sound Studio, great homage to giallo films and the sound/foley department in particular! Greetings from Argentina.
It was clearly done to better complement their review of this particular movie. Doing the red and blue lighting every episode would be like having Christmas lights on all year round
contrapoints has great lighting for each episode. some of it is very dargento-esque. if you dont like left leaning politics, you can just watch it on mute.
I've read that it was supposed to be teens... not adults... also many scenes are direct recreation of Argento's nightmares (like the killing the witch scene)... This explains a lot!
How did they handle the balancing of the live band sound against the soundtrack? When Goblin was playing did they turn down the soundtrack audio or what did they do?
@@montag4516they muted the film (apart from dialogue) and played the entirety of the music/instrumentals for the film live. I say them do the same with Deamons last week. It was amazing.
Very cool, and somewhat akin to the old days of silent films where they had someone playing a piano or organ during the film. They did the Suspiria show not too far from me but I wasn't able to make it there that night. Sorry that I missed it. If they happen to tour it again I will try to see it.
It's interesting how taken out of context quite a few of these scenes look hilarious, and yet after the build-up leading up to them and within the flow of this film they are eerie and contribute much to the overall dreamlike and surreal, dense and intense atmosphere of foreboding and uncannyness. The original Suspiria, for me, is maybe the best haunted movie ever done in colour.
The Dougy Jones reference is proof positive that Jay and Josh have seen Twin Peaks: The Return and have consciously decided not to do a re:view on it yet.
Hong Kong movies were shot without sound for years, just like Italian movies. They would have Chinese actors (speaking Mandarin or Cantonese), Korean, Japanese and American actors so they would have many different languages on set. The actors would speak their native language and listen for the last word in another actors line and that would be there "queue" to say their line.
as a kid here in italy we didn't have halloween but i remember one 31st oct. when a friend's dad, to mark the spookiness of the date, made us watch Deep Red - we were 10 or 11.
I am a big fan of most Giallos. Suspiria is probably the best Italian horror movie I have seen. Love to see you guys talk about them. Keep being awesome.
"Aside from Eraserhead, Suspiria is kind of only the real movie that really captures that feeling of a nightmare" Aw hell naw. Inland Empire, Un Chien Andalou, Jacob's Ladder, Coraline and many others would like to have a word with you
The Synapse release of this movie is astounding, it looks better then some new movies thanks to it's amazing use of colors and lighting and the 4k scan they did with it. Also has an awesome 4.0 soundtrack that the movie originally had when it was in theaters but hasn't ever been on a home video release, which sounds far better then the 5.1 tracks that have been with it, lot more dynamic, especially when the Goblin score kicks in.
It should be pointed out that Suspiria was written with the intention to have children play the students, but the producers knew the movie would never pass the censors (or, probably, wouldn't even be distributed) if it had full on butchery of kids in it.

@@AscendantStoic Adults can be immature too you know.
Creepy.
I thought they kept calling it goblin music because it's spooky music goblins would like
That checks out.
Yes I didn't understand that at all. Why would goblins listen to or make such beautiful chime sounds.
That's cute
On a totally different music track I was admiring the chimes again and thought why would goblins like that. But then it hit me, maybe I'm a goblin...
As a real life Goblin myself, I love the Suspiria soundtrack

Rich Evans (voice): "How did you guys sit down and talk about Suspiria and NOT talk about the dog scene?"
I love that you guys say the things I think about movies ( the things my friends don't seem to grasp or care for ) superb stuff. Keep validating me.
I've been waiting for this for so long!
My favorite film. Thanks guys!
Great Review! You should watch Berberian Sound Studio, great homage to giallo films and the sound/foley department in particular! Greetings from Argentina.
Sergio Corbucci - The Great Silence. So many elements of horror.
Suspiria was actually an interesting villain. But they only used her in one episode. Oh wait, we're not doing Star Trek?
Suspiria and Blade Runner are the most visually perfect movies I have ever seen.
Best thing about Suspiria are the visuals and the soundtrack by Goblin. There, I said it.
And you are right
Goblin was just in Pittsburgh...they put on an amazing show!!
Yo can you actually just do this lighting for every episode? It absolutely bangs.
Such contrast, very serious tone.
It was clearly done to better complement their review of this particular movie. Doing the red and blue lighting every episode would be like having Christmas lights on all year round
contrapoints has great lighting for each episode. some of it is very dargento-esque. if you dont like left leaning politics, you can just watch it on mute.

Be the freak you wanna see
Just don't follow me
I'm on a journey to the center of three
I love the way the set is lit, it's perfect!
I've read that it was supposed to be teens... not adults...
also many scenes are direct recreation of Argento's nightmares (like the killing the witch scene)...
This explains a lot!
Let’s a re:View of Hausu. Come on, boys.
Dude that is just What I was thinking!!
YES! House is so wonderfully bonkers
I love that Hausu, but it’s already been covered a million times. There’s not much to say about it that hasn’t already been said.
@@ThreadBomb Wild Zero is AWESOME. My best friend showed me it in highschool and I absolutely loved it.
Just saw a Goblin live performance of this film and it was GLORIOUS
How did they handle the balancing of the live band sound against the soundtrack? When Goblin was playing did they turn down the soundtrack audio or what did they do?
@@montag4516they muted the film (apart from dialogue) and played the entirety of the music/instrumentals for the film live. I say them do the same with Deamons last week. It was amazing.
Very cool, and somewhat akin to the old days of silent films where they had someone playing a piano or organ during the film.
They did the Suspiria show not too far from me but I wasn't able to make it there that night. Sorry that I missed it. If they happen to tour it again I will try to see it.
@@montag4516no matter the film it was epic. It was like seeing Clint Mansell or Danny Elfman live.
It's interesting how taken out of context quite a few of these scenes look hilarious, and yet after the build-up leading up to them and within the flow of this film they are eerie and contribute much to the overall dreamlike and surreal, dense and intense atmosphere of foreboding and uncannyness. The original Suspiria, for me, is maybe the best haunted movie ever done in colour.
The Dougy Jones reference is proof positive that Jay and Josh have seen Twin Peaks: The Return and have consciously decided not to do a re:view on it yet.
Hong Kong movies were shot without sound for years, just like Italian movies. They would have Chinese actors (speaking Mandarin or Cantonese), Korean, Japanese and American actors so they would have many different languages on set. The actors would speak their native language and listen for the last word in another actors line and that would be there "queue" to say their line.
as a kid here in italy we didn't have halloween but i remember one 31st oct. when a friend's dad, to mark the spookiness of the date, made us watch Deep Red - we were 10 or 11.
I am a big fan of most Giallos. Suspiria is probably the best Italian horror movie I have seen. Love to see you guys talk about them. Keep being awesome.
This is one of my favorite films ever.
One of my favorite horror films.
Was that scene at 15:47 the inspiration for Benicio Del Toro´s character in the Last Jedi?
Remember kids:
If it sounds like a snake, its a mistake♪
@@Necron1999 guillermo del toro, whatever
I still stand by that Rian must have gotten drunk and watched The Usual Suspects and say yeah, Benicio, just talk like you did in The Usual Suspects.
"Aside from Eraserhead, Suspiria is kind of only the real movie that really captures that feeling of a nightmare"
Aw hell naw. Inland Empire, Un Chien Andalou, Jacob's Ladder, Coraline and many others would like to have a word with you
I’ve been dying to hear your review of this or the recent, so my day just became great !
I cured my crippling gout watching RLM. Now I have piles.
European things are weird
I know nothing!
No silly, Sgt. Carter has Piles.
At least you're not having a tums festival
A re:View on a favorite film? Yes please.
Every time Jay makes a Twin Peaks reference it only makes me want a re:View for The Return.
Nnnnice! One of my favorite movies. The soundtrack is EPIC!
RJD2 used the track “Goblin” from the ‘77 movie in his song Weatherpeople
I was going crazy watching this episode, waiting for that bass stab to kick in
The Synapse release of this movie is astounding, it looks better then some new movies thanks to it's amazing use of colors and lighting and the 4k scan they did with it. Also has an awesome 4.0 soundtrack that the movie originally had when it was in theaters but hasn't ever been on a home video release, which sounds far better then the 5.1 tracks that have been with it, lot more dynamic, especially when the Goblin score kicks in.
Loving the Minutemen/Wire reference.
finally! love both versions and was hoping you guys would talk about either of them.
