I'll probably get hate for it but I haven't seen the original, I'm sure it's incredible! Suspiria is incredibly well filmed with such a style that makes it feel old with a awesome soundtrack! Glorious eerie vibes in many parts which is nice. Very much reminds me of Black Swan just very different and more terrifying; which I love! Electrifying experience that I didn't expect, I cant't believe Suspira didn't get more praise.

Susie Bannion is a young American ballerina who travels to Berlin to study dancing at Madame Blanc's Markos Tanz Company, one of the world's most renowned schools. On her first day, one of the students who had been recently expelled from the school is murdered. As this appalling happening does not seem to be an isolated occurrence, the brilliant new student soon begins to suspect that the school might be involved in the homicide. Her mistrust heightens when Sarah, one of the girls at the school, tells her that before she was killed, Pat confided to her that she knew and guarded a terrifying secret.

Not sure about the hate but this is a masterpiece
Remake or not, it sucks on its own
I really wanted to like this movie. Something I'd noticed about all the other negative reviews is that they start off with something comparing it to the original-- I figured I hadn't seen the original for quite some time, so maybe I won't care or notice.
I didn't care or notice, this movie just sucked on its own two feet.
It starts off strong, with an earnestly creative attempt to incorporate ballet with horror, but from there somehow manages to stumble its way into where it goes; a flat, empty, sloppily-told story that just sort of... ends.
There were a few telling signs this movie wasn't going to be good: Tom Yorke, who I love in Radiohead, does NOT FIT into this movie's tone whatsoever. OK Tom, you want to follow your bandmates into their soundtrack careers? That's OK, but they don't SING, and neither should YOU when doing a soundtrack. Maybe once during the closing credits, sure-- but this was just too much.
Next was the jarring direction and editing. I get movies wanting to pay an homage to their predecessors, but there are some things that just should never come back, or if they do come back, recognize why they were left behind:
Crash zooms. Jarring camera moves in the middle of a boring conversation. Needless edits mid-sentence. Digitally-slowed down footage. Digitally echo'd footage. And you're telling all this during an abstracted, obfuscated story?
And then comes the last part, which I guess this is a spoiler that I wish I had known that has surprisingly nothing to do with the story: Tilda Swinton plays two characters, one of which is a dude for no other reason than because she and the director said it felt right in a movie starring nothing but women, which... OK. Seems weird to make that the line you draw in the sand when both the director and writers are mostly men, and you have Tom Yorke doing the soundtrack. So I was super distracted or kept trying to piece together what line was going to up between her two characters only for there to've never been one.
It's a laughably bad movie by the end of it, and I'm so glad they told me how many acts are in it at the beginning, so that I didn't have to check my watch to see how much was left.
Not what you expect
A lot of bad reviews on here probably from those expecting a copy of the original. I personally didn't want a copy (what's the point in that?),the original had a chilling score and beautiful visuals but wasn't all that scary. They say this movie is an art scene but in my opinion, the original focuses more on art as it does actual horror. This Suspiria delves more into the coven of witches and the substance you would want from a so called horror movie. I am a massive horror fan but I pick what I watch wisely as the horror genre as a whole is only 25% good. If you want substance then watch this film, if you want cheap jump scares, lack of story and crappy Hollywood types then look elsewhere.
