ORIGINAL: WickedsDesire Who directed it? Suspiria i have not seen WM is it worth the watch today, or tomorrow? Now I love olde horror especially black and white, but all this new guff is just mince meat...oh let me fuk off to another forum and do a thread I will look it up thats the second time you've mentioned it :) -see i pay attention most of the time, just not all;) William Friedkin directed The Exorcist, and despite all of Mark Kermode's blather about it being the best film ever, it isn't even the best film it's director produced: he also made The French Connection. Suspiria is one of Dario Argento's best films and marks the point where he stopped doing extravagantly lurid and stylish thrillers and went into batshit horror films. His daughter's career has proved crappier, and his taste for casting her in everything he's made since the late '80s has done him no favours but everything up to Phenomena is pretty good and some of them (Inferno, Opera, Profundo Rosso/Deep Red and a couple of the giallos all spring to mind besides Suspiria) are extraordinary. Even at his worse, his films look incredible, as he's got a knack for design and composition that only Terry Gilliam and Giullermo Del Torro can match at the moment. quote:
ORIGINAL: PeonForHer The Exorcist stands even today as one of the most disturbing horror films ever, largely because its director was a bloody fanatic who put the cast through hell. We'll have to agree to differ on that one. For me, it's purely an argument about theodicy carried to a silly extreme (admittedly through a quite clever device). I always finds it puzzling that anybody who wasn't raised as a catholic can take it halfway seriously. And he gets his demonology wrong as well.
