Below Sydne talks about her favourite horror Dario Argento 1977 film Suspiria:
“It’s so hard to pick just one, but Argento’s Susipiria is any easy choice. Not only is it one of the most defining horror films of all time, it’s also visually one of the most stunning. Surrealist in the most incredible way, the neon lights, fantastic score, and camera angles make it impossible to look away from. I love a movie that makes you feel, and Suspiria does just that.”
