Farah R Having never watched Dario Argento's original, I had nothing to compare this Suspiria to. Nevertheless, I found it overly long, painstakingly slow, and unenjoyable. It's still pretty well made, though, and the acting is good. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/30/25 Full Review Naydelin H I really enjoyed watching this movie. I believe one of the reasons is because one of my favorite actresses is Dakota Johnson and I enjoy watching horror movies. This movie is about a woman (Suzy Bannion) joins this mysterious dance academy that is run by a coven of witches. Slowly strange things start to happen in this studio. I’ve seen the older film Suspiria 1997 and in my opinion I believe the 2018 film is better than the 1997 film. If you're someone who enjoys watching horror movies on their own time I do suggest giving this film a try. The only thing that I found kinda weird about this film was towards the end when they take Suzy into this hidden chamber and they start to and they start to perform this type of ritual. But overall it was a good film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Hugo S An American ballerina joins a prestigious dance academy in Berlin. The institution is run by a coven of witches who are behind mysterious disappearances and disturbing accidents involving the students. The young women are used as sacrifices to maintain the witches' power, seeing their artistic aspirations evilly sabotaged. The newcomer soon attracts the attention of the academy's leader but then becomes herself a new cycle of diabolical power. "Suspiria" is a remake of Dario Argento's classic, released in 1977. The movie is a rare and remarkable piece of artsy filmmaking with its weird and unique atmosphere. The dance scenes are mystical and lavish, which is perfectly aligned with the darkness that prevails inside the walls of the academy. The final act is an impressive apotheosis of madness and death! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review Frans B An acquired taste, like olives. You'll be intrigued by it or appalled. It is a work of art, masterfully directed and the cinematography is superb. The whole composition is truly remarkable. Horrifying and somehow gripping and demanding an audience. Cast is excellent in character, editing is particularly accomplished. It demands all your attention. Not for everybody but certainly worthy of a closer look. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Audience Member Suspiria is a supernatural horror film. It follows an American ballet student who arrives to a prestigous dance academy in Germany. She discovers strange and terffying events happening around her. Students begin to go missing and weird occurences increase. She realizes the school is hiding a dark secret that involve witches. The film is known for its stunning visuals with bright and unnatural colors to make it feel like a nightmare. The haunting soundtrack adds to the eerie feeling. making quiet moments feel intense. The story is filled with mystery leading to shocking and creepy moments. Unlike most horror films, Susprira relies more on mood and style than jump scares. Its unique look and terrifying music is what made it a classic, influencing many modern films. 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.
