Watched the original for the first time last night..


...great film..

As i was researching it today i heard about this remake.. Initial
reaction: "NOT AGAIN"..

Then i saw David Gordon Green involved, and i'll admit.. I love that guy.

I'll give him a chance.. A movie like "Undertow" suggests he may have the
chops to do a worthy rendition of "Suspiria"..

Nobody rocks the cock like Krysta Now. And I mean nobody.

Good to know. I read the customer reviews for the original on Netflix last night and was surprised by all the negative comments. I was like "What movie did they watch?"

I think everyone who enjoys or even loves Suspiria can definetely understand why other people may hate it.

I do love it though however I am not against a remake at all.

I think Gordon Green is one of the best film makers working now as well as one of my favorite directors.

If he wants todo this, and you know this isnt a studio remake for the sake of money, than I am sure he has some amazing ideas.

^^Perhaps, but I always thought it was one of those films that was so unique, people couldn't help but be curious about it if they started watching it. I had the opening murder scene playing on the TV in my apartment one time when the pizza guy came. He saw the part where the girl was being attacked and heard that music, and he literally stood there after I already paid just staring at the screen in the doorway and he was like "What IS this??" I'm sure if you played the movie on a big screen in the mall or some place with a lot of people, it would attract more than a few curious onlookers. It's just that type of film. I would think even if someone finds it cheesy, humorous, or over-the-top, that they'd still be so transfixed by it that they'd have to respect its craftsmanship.

Yes, it is one of those movies that even the non-horror fan will at least
give a go..

When i watched it the other night, my wife was there next to me folding
the laundry...She normally hates horror, and thinks most of the stuff
i watch is pretty worthless, but even she admitted afterwards that it
was a very well-crafted, interesting film.

You just have to appreciate how Argento was ALWAYS able to catch you looking
the other way, ya know?

You know that is a brilliant point,

it is an interesting horror film because where as mostly any other horror movie would discourage viewers who are just walking by or what not, this movie attracts them. The music mostly, but the colours, the shots. everything.
