Suspiria

Pat (Eva Axén, who mysteriously fled the German dance school where American heroine Jessica Harper just arrived) didn’t want to explain to Sonia (Susanna Javicoli) what happened, and it turns out real bad for them both, early in Dario Argento’s notorious horror spectacle, Suspiria, 1977.

The blind Daniel (Flavio Bucci) arriving before her, American Suzy (Jessica Harper), unaware of the murder executed by director Dario Argento in her absence, is greeted by German dance academy bosses Miss Tanner and Madame Blanc (Alida Valli and Joan Bennett, in her last movie role), in Suspiria, 1977.

Following narration over graphic credits establishing Jessica Harper as American dancer Suzy Bannion, arriving in Germany (Munich airport) from New York, there’s no doubt of writer-director Dario Argento’s direction, opening the gothic horror extravaganza Suspiria, 1977.

On her first day of classes at the bizarre German dance academy, American Suzy (Jessica Harper) is forgivably a little woozy, as director Dario Argento keeps it weird and instructor Miss Tanner (Alida Valli) keeps it harsh, Stefania Casini as friend Sara, in Suspiria, 1977.
