Suspiria (2½ stars)

A young woman enrolls in a ballet school, only to discover that a coven of witches has been claiming the lives of numerous girls such as herself.

I have mixed feelings about this movie. On one hand, it has a brilliant soundtrack, and amazing cinematography. On the other hand, the dialogue is terrible, and the story is quite tedious and dull. The film would have been all right if it had only concentrated more on the gore and less on the stink-o story. Often horror films can sabotage themselves by trying to appear intelligent when they’re clearly not.

The film is watchable. 2½ stars
