Line 5:
A ballet student goes to perfect her art in a Freiburg Academy. Of course, as young female students are being murdered, this is a bad idea.
Probably the most famous (and arguably the best, though it's often in contention with ''[[Deep Red]]'' for that honor) [[Dario Argento]] film, '''''Suspiria''''' is a movie that doesn't play by ''any'' rules. Fans of ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' will find quite a bit of value in this film, as the game and series take very heavy inspiration from it. First part of the Three Mothers by Director Dario Argento which also includes ''[[Inferno (1980 film)|Inferno]]'' (1980) and ''[[Mother of Tears]]'' (2007).

* [[All There in the Manual]]: The significance of hangings, throat-slittings, the Directoress' distinctive snoring, and {{spoiler|the coven's deaths by asphyxiation}} only make sense if you know that the Directoress is {{spoiler|the Mother of Sighs.}} This is important in the inspiration and the sequels, but makes less sense here.
* [[Animals Hate Him]]: Daniel's guide dog attacks Albert, Madame Blanc's nephew.
Line 23:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: The final confrontation with the [[Big Bad]] is...surprisingly easy.
* [[Death Trap]]: While following the teachers at night, Sara gets chased by an unseen killer and jumps out of a window into a room full of razor wire.
* [[
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: After defeating the [[Load-Bearing Boss]], one could almost forgive the victor from forgetting {{spoiler|that every last student in the school is burning to death, despite being innocent of wrongdoing, except that said students were actually in town seeing a play with a (apparently not-evil) teacher at the time.}}
* [[Empathic Environment]]: The storm at the end mirrors {{spoiler|the destruction of the school}}.
Line 54:
* [[Token Good Teammate]]: The teacher that took the students to see a play {{spoiler|and in the process quite possibly saved their lives when the school went down with Helena Markos}}.
* [[Trash the Set]]: The Academy's {{spoiler|self-imploding}}.
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: It's pretty obvious Suzy and Mark like each other, but it never gets past the flirting stage.
* [[Vader Breath]]: While sleeping in the dance studio due to the school being fumigated for maggots, Sara knows that Helena Marcos, the founder of the dance school and {{spoiler|The Mother of Sighs}}, is in the room with them because of her loud, wheezy breathing.
* [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]]: The story was inspired to co-scriptwriter Daria Nicolodi by a story about her grandmother having run away from a music academy in which they also taught evil witchcraft.
* [[Wicked Witch]]: {{spoiler|Helena Markos}}, the Big Bad
