Critics Consensus

Suspiria attacks heady themes with garish vigor, offering a viewing experience that's daringly confrontational - and definitely not for everyone.

Guadagnino claims that his Suspiria is not a remake at all but a cover version. If that's the case, it can only be the equivalent of turning a three-minute glam stomp into a bloated rock opera.

Kajganich is a purveyor of pretentious piffle.

The acting is superb, and fills in the gaps of the script, that really doesn’t do you a lot of favors in spelling out what is going on. It is a very effective film and should stick with you and give you plenty to talk about with your friends.

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

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

This movie was visually interesting and had some stars in it that I am a fan of but I was overall very confused on what was going on throughout most of the film honestly.

Overall, not an awful movie. I enjoyed the colors and the way the film was shot. I wanted to like it since Dakota Johnson and Tilda are in it but, I could not sit through the whole movie.

When watching suspiria I really didn't know what to expect. However, little did I know I'd like the movie more than I expected. I really enjoyed the way the movie did an excellent job at foreshadowing what the movie is mostly about. I think it really caught my eye because as the story keeps going, we tend to see new things come up and it makes the audience wonder what could happen next. In a sense, having us at the edge of our seat and not knowing what the ending could be.
