Suspiria (2018)

it works in retrospect yea, but the movie didnt focus that much on the protag. She was more of a vessel to introduce us to this covenant of witches.
I thought a better ending would be that Blanc saved the day, so that their relationship actually meant something for the plot of the movie, kinda like the movie was building up to.
Cause my understanding is that the protag was going to side with Blanc either way and not because of their time together.

I think the division is from people who are "starved" from this kind of movie. There just arent that many slow passed thriller/horror movies coming out. So even a decent movie gets raised to appraisal.

Too bloated, especially with the old man parts, and overall rather uneven but it is, for the most part, an ok watch. Visually strong, but I greatly prefer the originals style over this, and Yorke's soundtrack was a miss for me. You can tell care and effort was put into with much success but it could use some trimming and focus.

There are better slow-paced horror films though, many that came out this decade, I get that people are starved for the small amount of quality horror we get but should mediocrity be heaped with so much praise. I think this film will be remembered like The Babadook when time passes, a film that was hyped because it was slightly smarter and better paced than the usual trash but ultimately not much was really there. I think The VVitch, Hereditary to a lesser extent, The Innkeepers and House of the Devil will have much more staying power in comparison.

Agreed, good post i think i was projecting in my post, the only reason i said "starved" was because how forgettable (I forgot) the movies in recent years have been, they almost manage to scratch the place where The Shinning has been sitting.
