Watched the Suspiria blu ray last night. Few things to get off my chest! Firstly the naysayers are right - this is a crap blu ray transfer. Constant flourescent feel, like it was filmed under football stadium lights, really disappointing as there times where it was bang on and looked great. Hopefully the commentary/documentary will make up for it. Secondly, the movie itself - is it me or is it showing its age? That damn fake bat and shit skeleton at the end - totally take you out the movie. The pacing is poor and the dubbing ropey. There's still plenty to enjoy (soundtrack will never be topped) but the idea this is some kind of unimprovable masterpiece is a myth. Bring on the remake I say!
