Film and television reviews and sometimes a few other things.
I’m an Australian, and as an Australian there are some things that are just considered part of the culture. We all love a meat pie with sauce. We were all devastated by the passing of Steve Irwin. We all know that “oi yeah nah” and “oi nah yeah” mean completely different things. And finally, for Australians, the film Mad Max is basically mandated viewing.
Suspiria. It’s a name that rolls off the tongue, dripping with sibilance, serpentine. It’s eerie, and it’s strange. It’s a perfect title for a film such as this.
I had a lot of anticipation for this film, having heard a lot about it, knowing that it would be something that I’d never experienced before. It was going to be this mysterious, scary, shocking thing. I knew roughly what it was about and that it was considered essential viewing, but it was impossible to be prepared for what I’d actually see.
