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.

Kajganich is a purveyor of pretentious piffle.

Horror Movie Talk

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.

Rated: 8/10

Horror Movie Club Podcast

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.

As much as a hot take as it might seem, I think the 2018 Suspiria remake is as good or even better than the original. It's a bit ponderous and very different than the giallo aesthetic. So it feels long and slow and drab looking compared to the original. But the added weight and time is kind of worth it. The new one feels like a more complete story than an art piece. It's like comparing a hallucinatory surreal nightmare, to a waking daydream nightmare. Both are unsettling in different ways. This is just so atmospherically unsettling that it doesn't feel boring and instead feels like it's slowly working it's way under your skin. And the things it wants to talk about--oppression, violence, power, truama, autonomy, feminism--are kind of perfect subject for the metaphor of dance and witches and the setting of seething underground political tension in 1970s Berlin.

Huge waste of time, it's just not good under any pretense. Characters fall short, twist is nothing less then boring like the entire movie.

As visually stunning as it is unsettling. Goblin’s pulsating score and Argento’s vibrant, nightmarish style make every scene feel otherworldly. It’s a horror classic that overwhelms the senses and stays with you long after it ends.

Guadagnino is such a diverse director that I can’t help but to be very interested in this project. The editing is incredible with a bombardment of quick, shocking images. Some absolutely insane scenes with wild practical effects that bring to life the hypnotic feeling. Definitely not an American film with lots of off putting, strange, & unconventional elements. It’s very visually striking but the plot needs tightening up as it takes a backseat to the unsettling tone.

Some friends of mine showed me this film and I was absolutely blown away. This film is very creepy, and the witches are an incredible coven. This is probably the best witch film I have ever watched. The dancing in this film is peak for eerie folk horror. That one dance where Olga gets taken away by the dance, and the final ending of this film are peak cinema.
