Suspiria (1977) is a seminal Italian supernatural horror film directed by Dario Argento. It follows Suzy Banion (Jessica Harper), an American ballet student who transfers to a prestigious German academy, only to discover it is a front for a murderous coven of witches. The film is renowned for its vivid, saturated colors, stylized art direction, and a frantic score by the band Goblin.
Suspiria was primarily filmed in Italy, with studio work done at De Paolis Studios in Rome and exteriors shot in Munich, Germany, including the Königsplatz and BMW Headquarters. While set in Freiburg, Germany, the iconic dance academy exterior was inspired by the Haus zum Walfisch, with interiors built on sets.
