CW: blood and gore
I love a good horror movie, and there was a lot of impressive artistry in the original Suspiria. But this flick was horrific and I can’t recommend it without major gore warnings to you!
The stained glass ceiling in the main lobby of the dance academy, surrounded by red velvet, is just one of the fantastical set pieces that give this movie a strong sense of surreality. In part of the movie, it crashes down after a woman is murdered atop it in a most gruesome fashion and is then hanged from above. A second victim gets impaled by the glass.
The murdering happening on top of the glass.
Ack, this is just horrifying, but you can see the cracked glass as her head breaks through.
Her body begins to break through.
A second victim getting impaled by the broken glass.
Dear lord this movie is morbid.
The ceiling is so iconic that it was featured in the 2018 Chilling Adventures of Sabrina TV series.
Not Suspiria, but Sabrina
Another glass window adorns the hallway to the dormitories. When the movie shifts from surreal to straight up horror, the lighting changes, including from beyond the glass.
All nice and normal.
Run Run Run!
Here are some more stills from the movie to show the overall set design, full of wild, primary color choices and almost nightmarish surroundings.
