This is one of my all time favourites, by the Giallo master Dario Argento.
He masterfully creates the eeriest vibes going with his audacious use of colour and ultra modern camerawork.
Part of his 'Three Mothers' trilogy Suspiria takes place at a remote ballet school in Germany run by some dodgy looking women...
An American ballet student is granted a place and before she's even arrived some freaky shit starts kicking off.
Goblin provide an equally sinister soundtrack, marrying with Argento's visuals perfectly, providing a dark, brooding and downright disturbing aural spectacle.
If you have never seen an Argento: his style can seem a little dated... and Italian, but the almost self-conscious 'tacky' elements all add to the overall unsettling, surreal and distinctly original vibes.
Oh and I forgot to mention this film is scaaaaaaaary!
Other Argento's well worth a look are Phenomena (1985), Tenebrae (1982) and Bird With the Crystal Plumage (1970).
