Is anyone else looking forward to this remake?

Well if you're looking for a more realistic horror movie then yeah I guess it does. I get a little riled up about this sometimes and don't mean to sound like a film snob but in order to enjoy and appreciate Suspiria one needs to watch it from a slightly different angle than some other (more "average") horror movie. There are already plenty of gruesomely realistic and graphic movies out there like the recent french flick Martyrs (which I warmly recommend) and I feel that removing the surreal look of Suspiria would just take away the movie's soul and make it more generic. The colours and the soundtrack are a couple of things that make Suspiria what it is and while I understand that not everyone is going to appreciate them I think it's difficult to deny that without these elements Suspiria just wouldn't be 'Suspiria'. MAYBE the whoever is remaking it can find a way to recreate the unique atmosphere but I fail to see the artistic relevance of such attempt. Ok, I've sounded enough like a pretentious prick for one day.

WHAT?! This is the most ridiculous thing I have heard all night.
Horror is not blood and gore. (Although the Gore sub-genre does exist, and it is never close to realistic)

Horror is about a great story with suspense, a well created horrible thing (be it monster, murderer, disease, or what have you). Horror is achieved in film by pacing, cinematography, lighting, sound - basically creating a horrific ambiance , creating a world where these horrible things can and do exist.
Horror is not about blood or special effects.

Maybe you are one of those folks who have a fear of the sight of blood, and if that is the case, this little rant doesn't really apply to you. A realistic depiction of a spider on film would make an arachniphobe poop his pants. But that is neither here or there. Lets assume you aren't one of those people.

Now lets have a thought experiment... You are doing your morning routine, and you are shaving, and then you nick yourself. Blood starts trickling down your face (or legs if you are female.) Do you freak out? Do you have a panic attack? Do you get creeped out? Or do you just put on a bandaid and go about your business?
If horror was a realistic depiction of blood, then you would probably freak out at the most realistic depiction of blood ever (real life.)

Okay, now picture yourself walking home from a friends house late at night, to find that all of the power is out on your street. As you walk along, you hear a scraping sound behind you. You turn to see nothing is there. As you get closer and closer home, the scraping gets louder and louder.
Do you run up to your door, fling it open, and lock that sucker tight behind you? Heck yeah!
Horror is creating that feeling that something is right behind you. That feeling that makes you second guess if you believe in ghosts. Its that feeling that makes you think your creepy neighbor is using all those trash bags to hide dead bodies.
In general, less is more.(but not in Gore) The things in our imaginations are almost always more horrifying that what can be created on the screen.
