"Bad luck isn't brought by broken mirrors, but by broken minds."
I have mixed feelings on Suspiria. First off, let me just say that I understand why this film is a classic and why it's largely considered to be one of the greatest horror films of all time. It's unbelievable to watch; the colors are absolutely beautiful and the camera movement is great. I really like the music too, despite the fact that it's repetitive. The dreamlike atmosphere is my favorite part, and it's probably the best way to tell the story.
There are a few things that I really don't like about Suspiria too. There's obviously the bad dubbing, but that doesn't really bother me as much. For me, the movie takes too long to really get going. I struggled to find its core purpose until over halfway through. I also feel it's anticlimactic. I think the horror elements in Suspiria are remarkable, but they're short-lived. If this was an American-made horror movie, I feel like any bit of horror would have been milked out to its fullest potential. I'm disappointed that Suspiria doesn't take advantage of the atmosphere it creates.
This is a great movie that I really need to watch again. I don't expect the remake to be as good, but I'll give it a go one of these days. The artistry in this movie makes it a must-watch, and though it's not flawless, there's a lot to be admired.
