I watched "Susperia" again tonight, I think I enjoyed it a little more this time just by carefully following along, and not fast forwarding, lol.
The appeal, so I have come to find, is in the colors, really. It was just a real change from the stereotypical dark horrors, and it had a unique setting and storyline to boot. I think the kills were inventive, too, atleast for that time period.
The only thing that I didn't quite understand, and it may have been more for effect was
Spoiler:
the first kill, the yellow eyes that were peering through the window, who's were those? I assume it was the big tall drink of Romanian water that did her in (awesome stabbing scene, very gruesome) eventually?
Overall, like I said, I liked it. Well paced, interesting set designs, colors, and there was a lot to keep me visually and intellectually stimulated.
