Hey guys I last watched the remake of Suspiria.
I don't know what the general consensus is but I actually thought this was quite good.
They made a pretty interesting decision here since the original Suspiria is pretty well known for Dario Argento's color palette and with this movie they decided to go with a stripped down color style. Probably a good decision in hindsight since any attempt to imitate the original cinematography might have come off as a second best imitation.
Anyway they still manage to do a great job of having fairly shocking and gripping horror scenes and the movie stands on it's own quite well from the original.
They done quite well to shoot the architecture of the dance company in a monolithic and gothic manner.
I would say this and Werner Herzog's Nosferatu The Vampyre are my favorite horror remakes.

Maybe it's just my shrinking attention span, but I thought it was too long and not always interesting enough to justify the running time.
I do agree they were smart to not copy the original's color palette. Or much else from the original. It's a very different take.
