Luca's "Suspiria" brought me no words.

The horror in this movie is not like anything else I've ever heard or seen. The sheer film in Luca's "Suspiria" is not like anything that is made by major movie studios such as Columbia, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Disney, and the like. Director Luca Guadagnino transitioning from the LGBTQ+ drama adaptation "Call Me By Your Name" — transitioning to the avant-garde, psychological study in his version of famed director Dario Argento's 1977 "Suspiria".

Horror movies today don't scare me. Horror movies of the 21st century seem to be involved in so much... read the rest.

Politically juvenile, with a troubling approach to the Feminine, but it's certainly convinced of its own profundity

It did not excite me, it betrayed the spirit of the original film: there is no fear, there is no music. The film has not satisfied me so much.

• Dario Argento's assessment of Suspiria; Un Giorno da Pecora (January 18, 2019)

Released in 1977, Dario Argento's giallo classic Suspiria (the first part of his Tre madri [Three Mothers] trilogy) has a plot you could fit on a stamp – a young American dancer goes to the famous Tanz Dance Academy in Freiburg im B... read the rest.

I have never seen original Suspiria, but saw this remake and all I can say - it had very unique atmosphere. It was different from a mainstream horror movies. It's not for everyone. If you're fan of SAW with lots of gore or even Conjuring series with lots of makeup and effects, you might not like this movie. Here most important part plays music, dance, places & characters involved in witchcraft that together creates creepy atmosphere. Movie is quite long and if you watch it at night and especially alone, it will give you effect of a nightmare dream. It's one of those weird movies that only few p... read the rest.

This movie is an abomination. I truly wish this hadn’t been labelled a remake and had just been something new that was inspired by Suspiria or something. Imagine taking the most beautiful movie in the world and being like why don’t I make this ugly as hell. It’s also ridiculously long. One of my most hated movies.

Inspite of Argento's dissatisfaction, Suspiria (by Guadagnino) is an evocative reinterpretation. Maybe it is the original creator's prerogative to criticize the execution when remaking classic cinema, peronally, I find the criticism also takes itself too seriously.

Reimagination through the milieu (post-war Germany) affords a shift in depth and focus without complicating the narrative with self-referentiality. Although details have been torn apart for lack of relevance, to my mind, if the director chose any setting, naivety or irrelevance would still be the low-hanging fruit of critics.

It's not a faithful rendition of the original movie. However, this movie is still entertaining with its further world-building to the cult of witches, which is something I wished for more of in the original.
