Dario Argento & "Susperia"

Argento seemed to hit a creative peak with "Susperia". Of all his subsequent films, only "Inferno" (a sequel, directly following) captured some of this movie's psychedelic and surrealistic energy. His later projects certainly have no lack of violence (directed primarily at women), but they don't equal the nightmare quality achieved in "Susperia". Earlier films of interest from this Italian director are "The Bird With the Crystal Plumage" and "Deep Red".
