Sigh, Mothers

.

Last year an absolutely stunning 4K restoration of Dario Argento's 1977 classic horror flick Suspiria made the rounds in movie theaters -- I was fortunate enough to witness its spectacle and wrote a brief bit about it here. Well they're finally putting the thing onto blu-ray on November 19th -- too late for Halloween alas, but with something this gorgeous every day can be Halloween! It's not cheap, costing $60 even discounted at Amazon -- and some of us, cough me cough, already own like ten versions of Suspiria on blu-ray -- but they do promise a ton of brand new extra features, even beyond the never-looked-better restoration, and I'll share them after the jump...

SUSPIRIA 4K UHD 2-Disc Set - Dario Argento's masterpiece receives its ultimate showcase with Synapse Films award-winning restoration!

Jessica Harper (PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE, PENNIES FROM HEAVEN) stars in this frightening tale of a young student who uncovers dark and horrific secrets within the walls of a famous German dance academy. What spirals out from that simple premise is one of the most powerful and hallucinatory nightmares ever captured on celluloid! Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA comes to home video from Synapse Films in an exclusive new 4K restoration from the original uncut, uncensored 35mm Italian camera negative, with the original theatrical 4.0 English surround sound mix. Synapse Films' beautifully restored version of Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA was completed with the supervision and approval of the film's Director of Photography, Luciano Tovoli. Now available for the FIRST TIME EVER on home video in a true 2160p 4K presentation with High Dynamic Range and a new Dolby Atmos remix!
