Suspiria (2018)

[Shingster]

Hard to say, do you like lengthy, slowburning euro arthouse dramas, or any of Guadagnino's earlier films? His remake is nothing like the original and I think it is a good film and a worthy remake, but it's also frustratingly overlong and more than a little bit pretentious if I'm being honest about it.

Thanks. I get the picture. It doesn’t sound like a day one or expensive import for me. (Although £14.55 delivered isn’t) It’s a curious £5-£8 pick up.

If I didn’t have a ton of films to watch, blind buys, new releases and rewatching those I keep promising to, this would be something I’d try sooner.

Spot on! I felt like Amazon wanted a remake of Suspiria but Guadagnino was more interested in a film about the Berlin Wall.

I'm around half way through it, I didn't realise how long it is! It looks gorgeous and there is a very sinister tone throughout.

I'm enjoying it, but it is bugger all like the trailers.

Better than the original? Hell no!

Edit: Finished it last night. Bloody hell! That 2nd half went downhill fast!
