Suspiria Blu-ray

U.S. label Synapse Films has detailed its upcoming standard Blu-ray editions of the recent 4K restoration of Dario Argento's film Suspiria. The two releases will be available for purchase on March 13.

Synopsis: Susy Banyon is a young U.S. ballet student who arrives at a German dance academy. The violent and bloody murder of one of the students and her friend opens Susy's eyes to the history of the mysterious academy. As the body count rises, Susy becomes involved in an increasingly labyrinthine tale of murder, black magic and madness.
