Week Five: Witches and Women

Suspiria was an extremely uncomfortable and strange movie. The bright colors, acting, storytelling, pre-conceived soundtrack, and bright red fake blood and real maggots all seemed to clash together to form a movie that was creepier than the story it was telling. Although it was strange, I find the motivation for the movie to be fascinating. Apparently the inspiration for the script came from a story that the scriptwriter’s grandmother told her when she was young. Apparently her grandmother had been studying acting only to discover that the teachers were also practicing black magic. Theirs is something about old European black magic being practiced in secret at an acting school that just sounds fantastic.
