Critics Consensus

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

Ryan Gilbey

New Statesman

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.

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

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

Rated: B+

'...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…’

Rated: 2/5

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
