10 Biggest WTF Moments In Suspiria
3. The Volk
In one of the key sequences in the film, the Markos Dance Company invites a host of viewers into the Tanz to see their performance of Volk.
As the company is preparing to perform, they realize Sara is missing and the film intercuts their subsequent performance with Sara exploring the hidden catacombs beneath the Tanz. Everything Sara sees down there is positively nightmare-inducing. In one of the most paralyzing moments of the entire film, she stumbles into the den of Helena Markos herself, discovering the worn and dismembered bodies of several still-living women as they crawl towards her.
As if that all wasn't WTF enough on its own, the sequence culminates with Sara breaking her leg clean-in-half, the coven finding her, and forcing her to go back upstairs to join in the performance. The subsequent dance sequence sees Susie discovering more of her power and losing control, as the editing and form of the film become hauntingly entrancing.
This all comes to a close as Susie accidentally breaks Sara free of the coven's mind-control and Sara collapses in pain, screaming for help. This whole sequence is a solid ten-minutes of WTF, in the best way possible.
