The Suspiria remake COULD have been a really great film, but it's far too unfocused, bloated, and the big finale, with cheesy motion blur effects and bad CGI gore, is just laughable in execution. And why the hell did they get Tilda Winton to play the old man? It was distracting as hell, and served ZERO purpose. When I realized it was her, I assumed it would be revealed that he was possessed. or SOMETHING.
The original has its own problems (bad acting being the big one, but the cinematography and score are absolute genius.

The more I think about this version, the more I'm reminded of The Neon Demon, right down to
1. The out of town newcomer, Sarah in key supporting role, along with other parallel characters. Their fates, ironically, go in opposite directions.
2. Slow burn dread with healthy doses of shocking body horror.
3. The cult of this dance studio vs. the cult of the fashion industry.
Ironically, it was the original Suspiria's surrealistic color-scape that Nicolas Winding Refn revived for 2016's The Neon Demon.

I didn't interpret it as Blanc being scared. I think she grew to have genuine care for Suzy and didn't want her to be sacrificed. She saw something special in her. In fact, it seemed like Madam Blanc had reservations about what they were doing to the girls, she expresses in the first half when they witches are in the kitchen that she is growing frustrated w trying to keep Helena Markos alive. The great thing about this version, and what makes it a successful retelling is all of the ambiguity.

I really wanted to like this film but honestly I just found it incredibly underwhelming. it has an odd pacing and is way too long, the whole thing being set against the 70s RAF/East-West Germany thing feels really pointless. on one hand there were some great shots and visual elements, but I was really bothered by the very ending scene, not for its content but rather I just thought it was shot incredibly badly, totally took me out of the film and just made me feel bad for the director.

Olga torn apart by Susie's dancing - deserves an addition: Blanc initiated that through hexing Susie's hands and feet. It is clearly visible as when Blanc's touch leaves her, a low glow stays behind, and at every strong movement of the hands and / or feet is the next 'twist' or 'turn' in Olga's body. I don't think it's something that 'emanates' through the rise of Suspiriorum. At the point where Olga is crippled, Susie is still somewhat of a pawn to the Circle.

I still don't get it. The original Suspiria is far better imo, there's just so much in the remake that I don't understand. they don't really explain anything about the coven and how it came to be, or am I missing something? I prefer the mystery of the original film, where you learn about the witches as the film progresses. I love weird, abstract art house horror but the remake just didn't do it for me and I wish it did: -(

In Slavic folklore characters like Baba Yaga are said to be 3 witches, and she, or them, represent nature itself, capable of nurturing and providing/helping as well as horrible cruelty, violence and devouring you with iron teeth. It all depends on your motivations and how you approach them. That very much reminds me of the 3 mothers, at least to Mother Suspiriorum as shown in this movie.

I loved this film! It was such a wise idea to dial it down compared to the original, and make it a slow burn, rather that an assault on the senses.
And the ending is so brilliantly gory and amazing that it more than makes up for the sombre beginning.
Normally I don't like sequels, but I wouldn't mind seeing more of this crazy story.

The post credit scene is Suzy/Suspiriorum straightening the picture of young Madame Blance and Helena Markos that got knocked around when the witches kidnapped Dr Klemperer. When they drag him into the dungeon and return the knife-hook thingy to the display case. Its Suzy saying, this place is all mine now.
