An American ballerina joins a prestigious dance academy in Berlin. The institution is run by a coven of witches who are behind mysterious disappearances and disturbing accidents involving the students. The young women are used as sacrifices to maintain the witches' power, seeing their artistic aspirations evilly sabotaged. The newcomer soon attracts the attention of the academy's leader but then becomes herself a new cycle of diabolical power. "Suspiria" is a remake of Dario Argento's classic, released in 1977. The movie is a rare and remarkable piece of artsy filmmaking with its weird and unique atmosphere. The dance scenes are mystical and lavish, which is perfectly aligned with the darkness that prevails inside the walls of the academy. The final act is an impressive apotheosis of madness and death!

An acquired taste, like olives. You'll be intrigued by it or appalled. It is a work of art, masterfully directed and the cinematography is superb. The whole composition is truly remarkable. Horrifying and somehow gripping and demanding an audience. Cast is excellent in character, editing is particularly accomplished. It demands all your attention. Not for everybody but certainly worthy of a closer look.

The story is filled with mystery leading to shocking and creepy moments. Unlike most horror films, Susprira relies more on mood and style than jump scares. Its unique look and terrifying music is what made it a classic, influencing many modern films.

I can’t say that I’m a fan of Argento nor of the Italian horror sub-genre known as Giallo. Therefore I don’t hold Argentos original film from the mid 1970’s as a gem that shouldn’t be tarnished. Thankfully this version has almost nothing in common with its predecessor other than the basic outline of a young girl joining a ballet company only to realize that it’s a front for a coven of witches. Here the action is moved to Berlin and set during the violent political movements of the time. What does the film have to say about a young American girl being swept up by a city and country still reeling from its past sins? What kind of evil does the coven spread as it tours the world as a ballet company? Ultimately, I have a different feeling after every viewing as to what the exact point of the film is, and to me that is what really makes it something fascinating…of course the stunning set design, the wildly effective camera movement, the gory death scenes and the always outstanding Tilda Swinton also help make this what few horror films are, a cinematic experience to be discussed long after they end.

The original was WAY better

One of the rare movies where one can't decide if it's good or bad because it's somehow both. Certainly it has undenyable strengths (acting, photography, dialogue are way above the usual), and certain parts of it work well, then again the movie is overstretched, overcrowded with themes and symbols and it isn't really all tied together - I felt the director didn't have a clear enough concept what he actually wants to do and ended up just throwing stuff that he found intriguing beside each other. It's a case where less (=more focus on the core of it) would have been more.

Very confusing id recommended doing a little research on the characters beforehand if you aren't super familiar. I watched the 1977 version beforehand and was still pretty confused. I did some research after watching this movie and still left me with unanswered questions. It's way longer than it needs to be a lot of fluff in the beginning that isn't informative to the plot nor entertaining. Ending almost makes up for all these issues.

It does move a little slowly but it is suspenseful and grounded in the current and historical times. Eerie and worth watching if you can get through it

Just because you have nudity in a film doesn’t mean it has any meaning or depth. Super long just because there’s extended shots of skinny white girls stretching in suggestive ways. It’s like, we get it lmao. I dunno I was rolling my eyes most of the movie. Very try hard

The only thing I thought after this movie was, what did I watch?

Far more satisfying than the original, though this could've been way scarier than it is. I'd say it's more strange and disturbing than scary. Could've been trimmed down a good 30 minutes. The political stuff about 1977 Berlin didn't need to be in here. Would've been better to give it a more cloistered feel by eliminating the outside world. And on that note, we didn't need the old man character. The movie is kinda sexy in a weird way, and it might've benefited from more sexual tension. It does have Mia Goth and the actress from Fifty Shades after all.

This movie screamed "As a work of art I am so so very earth shatteringly important. Every gesture, every nuance is just so far superior and over the heads of any possible audience member who is blessed with the privilege of watching this godly enterprise unfold. As an audience you are hopelessly beneath us the film makers so don't even expect to do anything but subside into a state of awe and worship." And with that said, it needs to be mentioned that the ending is by far the silliest bunch of scenes I've ever witnessed in a film that's trying to be dead serious.

Extremely weird. Dark. Definitely not for everyone. But I freakin’ loved it. Pretty gross.

Suspiria is one of the most unusual combinations of choreographed, feminine beauty and stomach-churning gore to have ever existed in the horror genre, all adorned with some interesting themes, unusual expressionist cinematography and a beautiful soundtrack by Thom Yorke. However its plot is quite a mindwrecker and the characters' development doesn't seem to quite reward it.

Vile filth. Waste of time. Shame to humanity. Disgraced actors.

Starting was good but than climax happened which destroyed the whole movie. I needed to pause to think what the hell director did.

Uneasy, creepy, and slow-moving. Cultish and melancholy.

Creepy, dark and unapologetic modern horror masterpiece. Not for everyone

Just like the original, there's a lot of confusing build-up that leads to some really unforgettable scenes. This one is very different though, because in the original Suspiria, the confusion felt very purposeful whereas in this one I just felt kind of lost. That being said, this is still very unique, it has a great cast and everything looks amazing. I just think that vibey demonic dance possesions don't need to be 150 minutes long

2018's 'Suspiria' is a modern reworking of the classic 1977 horror film from Dario Argento. SYNOPSIS: 'A darkness swirls at the center of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist. Some will succumb to the nightmare. Others will finally wake up.' This is by no means a remake of the original film as they are chalk and cheese. They're worlds apart. This is more of a homage to Argento's masterpiece than anything else. This is a very different piece of horror filmmaking. However, that doesn't mean this is a bad film because it isn't. It's actually a very accomplished and daring spin on a genre film horror fans will know inside out. 'Suspiria' is a cocktail in which art and terror hold hands to result in an imperfect, but inimitable production. It oozes evil though doesn't get anywhere near the heights of the original film. It's a haunting and ethereal tale of witchcraft, mutilation and death which has Tilda Swinton on the most magnificent form. Dakota Johnson also shows how good she can be in a serious role. A surreal horror adventure that warps the mind. 7/10
