Trailer
Cast
Jessica Harper Suzy Bannion
Stefania Casini Sara
{Many others in the cast but these two were essential.}
Plot
A young ballet dancer (Suzy) is accepted to attend a prestigious dance school in Germany but, from the moment that she arrives at the school, things seem off. For example, a gal that she meets outside the school building ends up being killed, a blind pianist is mauled to death by his guide dog, etc. Can Suzy find out what is behind all of the issues at the school? Is it more complex than sheer pressure to be excellent?
Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
3.5/5 - Slow and trippy beginning with a flat ending; not much body to the movie aside the fact that it seemed a lot of coincidences were happening: the first gal leaving (and dying), the blind pianist's dog turning on him, and the investigating girl (Sara) winding up dead. Oh, and WTF with Sara being manipulated to come back to attack Suzy.
*SPOILERS* The staff of the school are witches from a coven and are casting spells on the students (and on Daniel) especially when they want to leave from the control/power the school has over them.
I am curious if the new remake is better but haven't seen it yet. It is not high on my priority list, honestly, because this one was dry and far too trippy for a murder/paranormal investigation movie IMHO.
That's my review. Thanks for reading! More reviews to come eventually so keep an eye out for them.
