A 1977 horror classic, Suspiria has been remembered for it's delve into psychological horror and the artistic vision of Dario Argentino. However, it has been like 4 decades... how well does it hold up today?

“I flew 4,000 miles for this shit?” Got a legitimate laugh out of me

[@konstance13]

I started wheezing lol. Decker's timing was on point.

[@Luxito_DeWarlock]

Konstance definitely

[@LivingHe11]

The moment a single maggot fell from the sky I would be outta there at super human speeds.

New Decker Upload Is Suspiria *"I see this as an absolute win!"*

[@OzkanArac]

I'm just glad it's a horror movie again.

[@Zeddyboi86]

I think the visuals and music were some of the best and most effective out of just about ANY horror movie ever.

[@keikurono192]

Italian horror is an acquired taste. Either you love it or you don't. And if you didn't grow up watching it than your'e more inclined to not like it. Suspiria is massively influential. This film came out in the 70s but looks like its from the 80s because so many horror directors cited it and Dario Argento as an influence on them like Carpenter, Craven, and Romero.

[@fizikz9647]

I didn't see them growing up and got introduced to them ten years ago for a friend at work and they are my favourite horror films, dario argento, Mario bava, and lucio fulcis horror have a feeling no other horror films have. It's the atmosphere

[@markpugh6808]

If you can get past the crap dubbing Italian Horror films are great

[@FrancescoXmix-sr7dp]

@@markpugh6808 Deep Red Is not dubbed

[@misaeltoral508]

I haven’t had the patience to sit through all of this movie, but it’s definitely one of the most visually interesting horror movies ever.

[@Flosseveryday]

The last 20 min of the movie was by far the most entertaining part of the movie for me.

[@tg995nation6]

Not a popular thing to say. I laugh at some of it. Then I feel bad because you see they really tried. Then I laugh some more thinking how people gush over the movie.

[@TheRuneTail]

Don’t you love it when you kill some force of evil and then everything they own just destroys itself? Makes cleaning up those messes a breeze

[@dodojesus4529]

Ehh then you can't sell their ashes and demonic silverware

[@adampoll4977]

This movie is a goddamn atmospheric masterpiece.

[@zachblackwolf99]

Dammit not this movie!!! Some people may say it wasn't that terrifying but it kind of traumatized me as a child. Especially the scene with the dog.

[@joshmaril1136]

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

This is one of my fav horror movies Over 40 years old! I would not want to stay in that dance academy, the colors and the dark shadows would give me nightmares

[@kp-da]

I really enjoyed this movie for the beautiful sets and artsy close shots. But omg the music IS loud! Loud af! And it does seem to drag a bit in the pacing. By the end, though I think it all works well. Thank you for reviewing!! I am now ready for the remake ^_^

[@michaellangwaller]

Also, Helena Markos, the head of the coven, was not "In" the fire, she faked her death because the locals were getting wise to her after her battle with a white witch (as revealed in The Mother of Tears) which explains why she was so weak, though it would have been better to mention it in Suspiria but it would have broken the mystery at the end. Plus Helena Markos is centuries old. It is also hinted that Suzy Bannion was a latent white witch in the later films and they wanted to sacrifice her to return Helena to power. It is also hinted that the school coven was draining power from Helena and she was a bit upset about it.

[@Ash-gv7uj]

The last time my friends and I watched Suspiria we got talking about the death scene with the wire. Trying to come up with a possible reason they’d have a wire storage area. It was a good laugh.

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

Piano wire

[@UnwrittenSpade]

I hope you will cover the other two in this “Three Mothers” trilogy. Awesome work

[@Estorium]

Decker, dear Mr Shado, seeing as I am early and thus this you may see this comment, here goes: if I lived near you (and not here in South Africa), I would seriously want to have a drink (or many) with you. You are a top tier internet personality and seem like a dude I would love to be friends with. I love your reviews dude, and have been watching for years. Much love from South Africa.

[@zetokaiba5867]

Is your channel bio a joke or something?

[@Estorium]

@@zetokaiba5867 Erm, I wrote that a shit long time ago. No, none of what I wrote is a joke, however in retrospect I think I should change that bio. Initially I was going to start a channel to document the day to day of living with an array of mental disorders. I have come a long way from there, and although I still suffer from those things, I would rather not announce them. Back then I wanted to break the stigma of mental illness and speak openly about it. Although I still fully believe in speaking openly about it, I don't want those things to be defining characteristics of me. So I will change my bio. Thanks for reminding me :) Unless you were referring to something else?

[@zetokaiba5867]

@@Estorium Nah just sounded like one of those self diagnosed illness freaks, but I see I was wrong have a good one bro.

[@Estorium]

@@zetokaiba5867 Lol! No probs bro. I think that I am probably just as annoyed at those people that you mention... people trying to fake mental illness for sympathy points or, more commonly, people saying things like 'damn I am so utterly depressed' because they couldn't get a Friday off of work, or 'hahahaha like yeah I am so bipolar sometimes UwU UwU'. That shit used to bother me but I guess it is what it is. Have a good one bro.

[@Estorium]

@ViệtCộnguerrilla He really is. One of the best in my mind.

[@kaizerlith7070]

A Redwall reference. Can honestly say I wasn't expecting that.

[@raynwolfsbane2084]

I love how colourful this movie is

[@demisemedia]

Yes!! I’m at work rn and you’re gonna entertain me for the next 25+ minutes Decker 😉 thank yoooou!

[@GriffinPilgrim]

Suspiria, you're breaking my heart, you're shaking my confidence daily...

[@jacksinister2469]

Hey Decker, I have a movie suggestion. Well actually two, they are called "The collector" and "The Collection." Horror movies that are something like "Saw" but done better.

[@quattrobajeena135]

Collector was cool collection is dog shat

[@SawBlood45]

The collector was actually supposed to be a Saw prequel, but it was different enough that they changed it to an entirely different movie.

[@louisegormley7461]

Ahh, a masterpiece from the great Italian director Darius Argentino, often mistaken for the lesser known Dario Argento .....lol

[@GODCONVOYPRIME]

And the even lesser known, Darren. Agenko.

[@MichaelSHall-ii2uq]

And also mistaken for DIO

[@Lateralus46and2]

And Jared Leto..

[@TheBootyman94]

Donald Sergento

[@SchazmenRassir]

I don't know if this is sad, silly or awesome, but I got genuinely giddy to hear you mention Asmodeus Poison Teeth.

[@cicitrek]

In Germany you don't wave for taxis. They wait in certain places, e.g. at airports and you take the first one in line. If none is waiting there you have to wait or call one by phone

Yep, that was her still beating heart being stabbed...

[@bryangarcia5599]

No; it's a cinematic prop.

[@shainewhite2781]

6:15, Alida Vali!? She was in the Orson Welles thriller, The Third Man!

[@CapitainBeefhartfanO]

And the french horror clasic "Eyes without a face"! Alida Valli is a legend as well as Joan Bennett, that's why Argento choose them to work with!

[@DamnQuilty]

Amazing review! Suspiria is quite an artistic movie. Really nice looking and interesting. I would love to see your review of Don't torture a duckling. I like that movie.

[@raygoshay4096]

1. Check out Argento's Deep Red (Starring David Hemmings). It might be the master's best movie. 2. Check out Argento's international cut of the original Dawn of the Dead, "Zombi". The pie fight is a lot shorter, Goblin's full music score is restored (Romero barely used it) and there are other changes (I consider them improvements). 3. FYI: Every close-up stabbing in all Argento films are performed by the director himself wielding the weapon.

[@Nomis97400]

Been following for years now. Thanks for the laughs! Love your videos, shout out from France !

[@superlive98]

Patricia is on ONE of the rooftops. The hotel had at least one terraced level and the window of Sonia's room is shown to open out onto one of these. When she falls through the skylight, you can see that there was a higher level of hotel above it.

[@edisonlima4647]

Wow, I mean... I had no idea how freaking gorgeous this movie looks!

[@markpugh6808]

The confrontation with the Directress at the end scared the fuck out of me as a kid

[@akiraslayer7934]

Great review Decker! I quite enjoy this movie yeah it's silly but it's from the 70's just role with the punches I only just seen this about 6months ago and it's the first Argento movie I've ever seen and I say its easily a 3 or 4 out of 5.

[@PalitoSelvatico]

I feel it aged so well compared to....most horror movies

[@RJIS]

Decker finally doing Suspiria! And it’s satisfying :)

[@michaelschwartz8730]

A Dario Argento marathon would actually suit your channel well, Decker. You thought Phantasm was bats#!+ insane? Wait till you see the uncut version of Phenomena

[@oddeyes9413]

As someone who did ballet for a few years, I can assure you it's exhausting and painful. In addition, I did toe ballet, and it was excruciating. I was also doing jazz and tap dancing. They were less painful. But being 10 years old, and seeing your toes bruising was enough to turn me off from participating in it.

[@djmexicanodetx2195]

Classic Dario Argento film!

[@16xthedetail76]

Decker could i recommend a movie review? I know for a fact you'd love it. Its called "The Long Kiss Goodnight" Very underrated movie.

[@iyona14granturismogt6gtspo7]

Holy shit Decker says Dario Argentino in the intro!.. lol..I've watched this review maybe 30 -40 times,never noticed...

[@weisswurstfruhstuck8523]

The scene where the dog bites the blind man was filmed here in Munich at the Königsplatz actually. :)

[@charitysghost1207]

Beautiful movie. I loved seeing Joan Bennett as well.

[@MrRimant]

Asmodeus Poisonteeth. :) So nice to find another who has read at least some of the Redwall Series. :) You made me very happy with that reference Decker

[@lonedragon3261]

Hey, Decker! I've got some movies I think you might like to review: The Keep (1983) and Train to Busan. I also think you'd like Starchaser: The Legend of Orin (1985)...which would be good to crossover with Creepy. That and Transformers the Movie(1986) just because it's one of my favorites. Thanks for all the laughs!

If there’s anything that this movie has taught me: NEVER attend dance schools that seemingly look TOO perfect

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

Suspiria turns 45!!! Had mixed reaction from critics originally Still one of my favorite horror films by Italian horror master Dario Argento Had no idea it was based on the 1845 book Thomas de Quincy Such chilling music by The Goblins Jessica Harper is really good in this Terrific pacing as well next to the bloody kills That German ballet academy school the way it's lit with the flashy neon colors of pink and red, that's the stuff of nightmares I would not want to stay there The movie plays on the malevolent promise; the fear of age comes the need to recapture youth once lost It's also ranked on multiple retrospective lists as an undeniable masterpiece to even featuring on Bravo’s ‘The 100 Scariest Movie Moments’ ranked at the extremely impressive number 24 spot It's got great concepts too; The fear of age and with it inevitable end, the pressures of harnessing untapped potential, the daunting struggles of the ever-changing human body and the haunting concept of an innocence entirely lost These are all mental obstacles we face throughout our lives at one stage or another At its core lies the terrifying progression from adolescence into adulthood but portrayed through the eyes of the very manifestation of evil unrelenting in its attempt to prevent all these concepts from destroying the soul and the human vessels we inhabit A very real subject matter that poses as many questions as it divulges answers

[@timothyarmstrong9351]

I wonder if Decker will ever do the scream movies or I Know What You Did Last Summer movies that would be cool if he did love his channel

[@ChicaLocaGB]

I'm def in the love it camp, I enjoys your reviews sooooo much, great job

[@Etherman7]

I'm one of the weird ones who can't stand watching it myself, but still appreciates that it is a very well done and artistic movie. Not just in a pretentious "lets all pretend it's good" arthouse way, in a really skilled and well crafted way. I'm glad people like you have kept it alive.

[@commandervex1626]

You could say this video was a...SUSPIRIA...I'm proud of that joke

[@shainewhite2781]

1:30, that is a pretty cool sign that once you walk out for the airport terminal, you're in for a hell of a terrifying ride.

[@tonymata8070]

Udo Kier?! Dude I freaking love this guy, had no idea that he was in this movie and goodness he's young in Suspiria. I've been familiar of him thanks to Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated and Beware the Batman. 🙂

[@LOTR22090able]

Also Ace Ventura Pet Detective

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

This movie is good, I need to rewatch it on 4k to see how much better that looks. I went in pretty blind, but I liked it. The zombie friend scared the crap out of me lol. I started watching these Italian horror movies as a new fan. I give it a 8/10, it's solid and very pretty. The only faults are the dated effects/visuals and acting is ok, music is alittle loud in some places. Overall top notch. I just started watching the new one which is more adult r rated.

[@yumekojabami7408]

I haven’t watched you in a hot minute. I’m glad your still doing good

[@Hugh_Morris]

I did about this films soundtrack for my Dissertation, first time I’d heard about it surprisingly so when all was said n done I saw the remake there on Amazon Prime n was gonna watch but then I showed my girlfriend the 77’ soundtrack and from there we watched the original, we were gonna compare the two films afterwards but never got around to the remake because god damn if the original ain’t so vibrant and unique on its own, didn’t need a remake imo this film still stands very high, so mind-boggling made me so uncomfortable and the colour scheme was wonderful

[@friendoftheshow8117]

I wouldn't dismiss that remake so quickly, it's vying with Hereditary for best horror of 2018; it's more of a re-imagining of Argento's story

[@virtueofsunlight1342]

Decker... WHERE'S LYNCH'S DUNE?! Guess it's one of those reviews that you'll hold on to for when the new movie comes out... Y U do dis to meeeee I'm a loyal subscriber!

Oi Decker... there's a really cheesy vampire martial arts horror comedy (yeah, pretty sure it tries all of those at the same time) called "The Vampire Effect" (Don't know what it's called in its native tongue) but it has Jackie Chan make a cameo. If you wanted to throw that in for a late entry of "THE SUMMER... OF JAAAACKIE... CHAAAAAAAANNNNN-UH!" or not but even if for the halloween season if you're not crammed, just a suggestion.

[@Timelord007]

Great review Decker, good horror but the ending feels rushed & lacks suspense, stabs the witch house starts burn down.....The End. No build up in the climax barring that quibble it's a visually atmospheric horror.

[@superlive98]

WTF? The "ending" starts at the moment Suzy flushes her doped food down the toilet and is attacked by a bat. She then goes into her room, reads the note and then goes to search for the secret area where the nightly footsteps go. She avoids detection of both kitchen staff and coven witches before happening across Helena Markos's room and stabs her to death. That sequence takes over SEVENTEEN MINUTES!

[@stevegeorge6880]

I didn't even recognize Udo Kier here. He looks more like Sam Neill than German Death.
