Tossup

In one film from this genre, a man is locked in-between two sliding-glass doors that prevent him from entering an art gallery. In another film from this genre, a crane shot rises up from a window (15[1])and moves over the roof of a house before settling on another window on the opposite side and cutting to the lesbian journalist Tilde yelling at her partner to turn down her music. In a third film from this genre, the song “Those Days with You” plays over a car radio as several men beat the black magic practicing Maciara to death in a cemetery following her erroneous confession to a series of (*) child murders. (10[1])Most definitions of this genre focus on its infusion of horror elements and eroticism with standard thriller conventions, such as in the films Don’t Torture a Duckling and Tenebre. (10[1])Suspiria takes heavy (10[1])influence from director (10[1])Dario Argento’s previous work in, for 10 points, what Italian horror genre whose name translates as “yellow”? ■END■
