Simply Perfect

Absolutely brilliant

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Pretty god awful movie. Fet like the longest hour and a half of my life.

This had always been one of those films I constantly heard being mentioned but had never actually watched. It was such a great time. I'm nor sure yet to what extent I liked it, but stylistically it's pretty fantastic. The score and cinematography are so vibrant and memorable. It's the type of horror film that they don't make anymore, one that isn't played for comedy but is still really in your face. I guess the only recent horror film I can think of that has this same straight-horror bonkers tone is Mother! Very impressive.

Normally, I don't like horror movies because I find many of them ridiculous that is highly arisen from bad story lines, weak construction of characters, and their unstoppable screams throughout movie. But... I like Suspiria which attracted my attention to itself from the beginning and this interest never stopped. Filming of the opening scene Suzy arrived to Germany in a stormy and rainy day, and two mystery words that Pat said when she is fleeing from the ballet school was a precursor of an above-average horror movie. Along with the murder of Pat, I admitted that I will see the color RED every second in the movie. Blood is RED, locality is RED, wine is RED, and shooting is also RED... Director's use of crimson in scenes extremely fits in this movie when we think that the all witches desire to kill someone who stands up to them. This contributes fifty percentage to the movie's success!The rest of Suspiria's achievement comes from Goblin which is an Italian progressive rock band. This band composed the soundtrack of Suspiria and well-known one is title track "Suspiria" comprised of old fashioned keyboard tunes which pulls you into darkness. Besides, death call arises when you hear the voice of witch in background. I listened it all night. Did you?These two reasons are enough to like Suspiria or spare time at least, but the irrefutable fact of the movie is that IT IS HARD NOT TO ABANDON YOURSELF TO THRILLER.

I consider myself to be a pretty big fan of Horror/Cult/B-Movies. This film had been on my watchlist for a long time, and I was very excited to see it! I had super high expectations from what I had heard online, and even now as I am writing this it's sitting at a 92 on Rotten Tomatoes. After seeing the film I can't understand how it can possibly have a score that high.From what I have gathered online, some other people feel the same way. The movie becomes an argument of "style vs. substance." I will say, the style is amazing. I loved the soundtrack, especially in the opening moments of the film which had me wondering if I was going crazy... and it reminded me of "The Shining" in some ways. Stylistically, I also enjoyed the sets and colors of the film which I found very interesting and helped with the whole nightmarish theme. Unfortunately for me, all of this style cannot help me overlook the insane lack of substance to the film. For a movie to be this well regarded I was expecting a lot more in terms of story. One of the most painful things about this movie is the dialogue. Let me pause here a moment. Yes, I am aware that the story was originally supposed to involve a much younger cast, but then the script should have been changed.The dialogue is very childish, which I could possibly ignore... if that was my only problem. It's the combination of terrible dialogue and terrible dubbing that make it pretty unbearable. One of the words in the movie, "Occult," was never said without sounding totally bizarre and had me cracking up. In connection with the dialogue, there were a lot of odd plot holes to this film that could have had sweet pay offs. One example, Pavlo, the giant freaky school handyman/butler was set up with this gem of dialogue:"This is Pavlo, our general handyman. He's really ugly, isn't he? Don't be afraid to say so. Can't understand you anyway, he speaks only Romanian. You see that gorgeous smile? He's felt very handsome ever since he got those false teeth."Sadly, he and other odd and interesting looking characters are introduced but do absolutely nothing later on in the film.A part of me did really enjoy watching this movie. This is the type of late night horror movie you can mock as you watch with friends, but also has fantastic music and color at times. The part that bothers me, and perhaps I'll get over in time, is the weird, super high praise this movie is given. It might be the the most overrated horror film I've seen. My advice is to go in with low expectations and you'll have a fun time.
