Synopsis
An innocent American ballet student arrives on a stormy night at a prestigious German dance academy in Freiburg, discovering the school is a cloaked facade for a sinister, ancient coven of witches headed by the Mother of Sighs (Mater Suspiriorum). Dario Argento and Luciano Tovoli's technicolor sensory assault of hyper-saturated primary lighting, baroque murders, and Goblin's pounding, whispered progressive rock score.
