Edgar Wright summed up the experience of watching Suspiria with his typical insight. "It's like a dream you've had when you've eaten too much cheese."

It's always fascinating to watch; the thrills and spills are so classy and fast that the movie becomes in effect what horror movies seemed like when you were too young to get in to see them.

Mr. Argento's methods make potentially stomach-turning material more interesting than it ought to be.
September 01, 2009
A movie that makes sense only to the eye (and even then . . .).

One can't deny Argento's technical ability to manufacture jolts, but he seems incapable of contriving a dramatic context that would make the jolts more enjoyable by virtue of being more discreet and credible.

Its outlandish, confounding style [does] more than virtually any other film to create the exact sort of unsettled, panicky mood in the viewer that is at the heart of horror.
October 10, 2012
Argento's masterpiece is a movie in which nothing and nobody makes sense.

A stunning combination of menacing Grand Guignol atmosphere, dazzling colours, gory violence, lush décor and pounding soundtrack.

From stormy start to fiery finish, it's a stylish, compelling, phantasmagoric movie.

There is little logic in 'Suspiria,' just the exuberance of individual scenes.
March 29, 2007
Argento works so hard for his effects -- throwing around shock cuts, colored lights, and peculiar camera angles -- that it would be impolite not to be a little frightened.
November 29, 2016
A masterpiece that should be viewed by movie buffs, and film students alike.
