Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/25 Full Review Jacob B 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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Jaime H The original was WAY better Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review Peter F 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review angelino M 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. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
