When the curtain rises, the terror begins
When an elite dance academy behind the Iron Curtain suddenly allows American ballerinas to enroll, things immediately go terribly wrong. We promise it's not because they didn't cast any actual ballerinas to be in the movie. It's more murder-related.
Robert Englund plays both Madame, the faded Russian Prima Ballerina running the academy, AND the American hotshot sex-man ballerina who caused the motorcycle accident which abruptly ended her career. These are clearly the roles he was born to play. No notes.
This is SUSPIRIA, minus all the pretty light and glass…a criminally under-watched banger from genre hero, director Greydon Clark
