Suspiria’s unifying theme is robbed of its potency by an inscrutable plot, opaque characters, and an excess of cinematic flourishes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 23, 2025

Suspiria is weird, disturbing, and definitely not for everyone… but I kinda dug it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 14, 2024

As an interconnected tale of imperialism, emotional manipulation, and femininity, Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria is one social nightmare of a movie...dance everyone, dance...

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 2, 2024

'...the punch-line of Argento’s film becomes the jumping off point for Guadagnino, but nearly two and a half hours later, not much of any value has been added to the pot…quite horrible to watch, and presumably that’s the intention…’

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 25, 2024

A swirling, tumbling vision of Cold War paranoia and coven politics, Suspiria will both astound and baffle; the conflict that defines its muted streets, full of uneasy dreams and restless feet, will come to bear on its audience and their nightmares.

Patient blood aficianados who stick with the filmmaker to the final reel will most certainly receive their crimson reward.

Tilda Swinton and Dakota Johnson shine in Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria (2018), a stunning Dario Argento remake and a clever analysis of human nature.  

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 2, 2023

SUSPIRIA (2018) includes four instances of spells in which dance is used to channel this intention, each involving a ritual to charge the invocation.

| Original Score: A+ | Jan 10, 2023

Unfortunately, his remake did not rise above the level of pretentious art house fare and was filled with meaningless allusions...

| Dec 7, 2022

This 2018 remake may not be as campy as its predecessor (those who have seen the 1977 original will remember the delightfully awful dubbing and insane lighting effects), but the raw morbidity of Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria is still worth feasting upon.

| Nov 7, 2022

Dense and thematically rich, Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria is the rare remake that surpasses the original.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 11, 2022

The film belongs among the pantheon of great horror remakes, placing Guadagnino's name alongside those responsible for other superior remakes, including David Cronenberg, John Carpenter, and Philip Kaufman.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 8, 2022

...revels in its differences as much as its similarities, wringing new and complex thematic material from the same basic narrative.

Episode 18: The Danse Macabre

| Original Score: 90/100 | Sep 2, 2021

This new Suspiria remake will simply dazzle anyone who appreciates a good big-screen experience.

| Jul 28, 2021

For all of its atmospheric scene-setting leading to the final act bluster, 2018's Suspiria feels dispiritingly anonymous and indistinct, despite tantalising, fleeting flashes to the contrary, and a little, well, old hat.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 29, 2021

A complex story of nightmarish realities and cold hard truths and it was truly beautiful in an unexpected way.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 22, 2021

It's got ideas, but to what end?

| Feb 9, 2021

Color me simply perplexed-but if this Suspiria is hard to love (or sometimes even defend), it's still more intriguing than one might have feared.

| Oct 22, 2020

Luca Guadagnino's remake of Italian maestro Dario Argento's surreal 1970s classic is a cauldron of heady ideas and images - but unlike the spine-tingling original, it's just too full to come to the boil.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 19, 2020
