This film is gorgeous, stunning, thrilling and (in some parts) stomach turning. A true masterwork, and a true horror film.
This movie is visual, a lot of meaning told through color, hue, and indirect lighting. The camera work is beautiful. ALL modern directors, especially every modern horror hack, should really try to freakin learn something from Argento.
The red signifies blood, of course. But not just death, but life as well, the dichotomy that is blood - as lifeforce and death when blood is lost from the body. At some points the main character is bathed in indirect green light - sickness. Yellow windows with red centers - the heart. Perhaps, that's just my thinking on some of the visuals in Suspiria.
The sets are stunning. Stunning. The death scenes truly horrorific, and the music is nothing short of superb.
