The only thing more terrifying than the last 12 minutes of this film are the first 92.

On Thursday 4th June 2026, we descend into colour, sound, and pure nightmare logic in the downstairs cinema at The Ill Repute with a screening of Suspiria.

Directed by Dario Argento, this is horror as sensory overload. It's a fever dream of lurid reds, deep shadows, and creeping dread. When an American dancer arrives at a prestigious ballet academy in Germany, she finds herself surrounded by whispers, disappearances, and something far older and more malevolent lurking beneath the surface.

Plot is secondary here. Suspiria works like a spell; disorienting, hypnotic, and overwhelming in the best way. Every frame is drenched in colour, every sound heightened, every moment pushing you deeper into its nightmarish rhythm.

With its iconic, pounding score by Goblin, the film doesn’t just build an uneasy tension, it assaults you with it. It’s beautiful, grotesque, and completely unforgettable.

This is one to experience properly: loud, dark, and on a big screen.
