The horror movie Suspiria (1977) qualifies as a work of art, albeit a flawed one. It has a vibrant colour palette, very creative shots, and some truly gory scenes of violence that are artfully directed. Directed by the legendary Dario Argento, the movie has a mostly female cast who all take the role of protagonists and antagonists. The problem is some of these women do the smart thing and investigate the strange events at their Italian dance school, while others are reduced to screaming their heads off while the killer is slowly making his/her way towards them. The movie could have a had a worse treatment of its female characters, but also a better one. I listen to horror podcast Shockwaves every week and Suspiria is a movie that will come up every now and then as a point of comparison to other horror films. Plus, the movie was of course remade recently so it came back into the zeitgeist. I haven't gotten around to the remake yet, but the original is available for free
