"The movie's sheer exuberance is the cinematic equivalent of a blood transfusion."—Adam Nayman, The Ringer
"A genre classic, as well as its still-active director’s best film."—Dennis Harvey, 48 Hills
Suzy (Jessica Harper) travels to Germany to attend ballet school. She arrives on a stormy evening to find no one there to let her in; from here, things only become stranger. A fleeing student is later murdered in her apartment, Suzy hears strange noises in the night, and a general sense of disorientation and illness permeates the atmosphere. As more dancers begin to die mysteriously, Suzy is forced to reckon with the terrifying secret history of the place.
