Suspiria
Tagline
The
New Zealand International Film Festival today announced that Italian prog-rock
legends ‘Goblin’ will perform their iconic score to Dario Argento’s horror film
Suspiria on Friday evening 19 July at
The Civic Theatre in Auckland.
A
certified cult classic Suspiria tells the
delirious tale of an American ballet student who transfers to a prestigious
dance academy in Germany, only to discover that it is controlled by a coven of
witches.
"As
far as I am concerned this is the most exciting Live Film Score event kiwi film
lovers have ever had the chance to witness. Goblin’s scores for the Dario
Argento’s films of the 70s and 80s became instant pop cultural high-points. In
terms of the most memorable horror collaborations there is Bernard Herrmann’s
dissonant violins screaming through Psycho,
John Carpenter’s stabbing synth score for Halloween,
John Williams’ brutal and relentless Jaws
theme and what many feel is the greatest fusion of all; Goblin and their epic
electronic masterpiece for Dario Argento's terrifying horror classic Suspiria. Their Melbourne show was
called the "Greatest live show ever!" by critics that saw it. This is
the show I have been waiting 30yrs to see." says Incredibly Strange
programmer Ant Timpson.
A
1977 certified masterpiece the film proved to be a match made in hell for
Argento’s exuberant visual style and the industrial un-nerviness of Goblin’s
score. The band’s score for Suspiria was
the second collaboration between Argento and Goblin and is considered, by many,
to be a musical benchmark for horror film soundtracks.

maelstrom of visual excess” – Ian Berriman, SFX
