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!
I know that we are all entitled to our opinions, but please don't exaggerate! I've just checked my Nouveaux Pictures Blu-ray of Suspiria - anybody calling this Blu-ray's transfer 'crap' must be on the wrong track.
This is a good transfer, with vivid colours, good detail, and a genuine HD look. I really can't see why anybody would complain about this disc.

As for the movie: I agree. Suspiria has never been one of my personal Argento favourites, as its pace is indeed a bit languid. But it's a good film anyhow!

Greetings!
