Lol, sounds like it is going to be as weak as the original, in terms of directors non existent history crafting skills. That is maybe why they have to rely on something that was already made as a start, instead of plotting a story from the start.
Thank you and have a nice week

Step up to the plate then. Explain the answers to my questions. I’m not alone here. Professional critics have said the same thing. MOST people say the same thing. Only the super-defensive neck-beards that are worried about being judged rise up with this “NYAH YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND IT” line, while mysteriously never bothering to enlighten the unwashed masses.

Anyone with a basic understanding of film knows that Supsiria has a suck-tastic plot that is just a delivery device for all the kill scenes. There is no logic or motivation for anything going on in this film except the old “A Wizard Did It” trope, only replace “Wizard” with “Witch”.

None of his films stand out, Io sono amore, A Bigger Splash and others only tolerable due to Tilda Swinton’s star qualities. He has style, good artistic-directing collaborators, cinematography, but his scripts c’mon, either he have really weak ones from the beginning and he doesn’t care about it or he just ruin the decent ones.
It’s not a surprise that he omits main color-features of original, maybe because he can’t keep up with it.
I’ve tried to stalker Tilda in the beginning of shooting in Varese (Italy), didn’t went well, the hotel they were shooting in October of 2016 was on top of the mountain, quite remote and abandoned, still went there on car, but the road was blocked. Had to go to vantage point to look at Switzerland.

The film fails to explain
1. Who the fuck is this Suzie, and why do we care?
2. Why is there a coven at this specific school?
3. What is the coven and the Madam’s goals? They seem to kill for arbitrary reasons.
4. There’s some vague notions of Suzie being prepared as a sacrifice, but why her specifically, and what are the outcomes? Eternal life? The power t cast a particular spell? She already seems to have the power to raise the dead at will, what does she need to go after Suzie for?

There are countless other questions because the plot of Suspiria doesn’t really try to be a coherent plot. It’s a backdrop for that amazing imagery. So get off your fucking high horse, neck-beard. Suspiria is a visual masterpiece, but the plot is severely lacking in any sense of storytelling strength. You could just watch a super cut of certain scenes and miss absolutely nothing of value from the experience.

As you’re unable to wiki or google the plot summary, here’s a basic rundown –

Suzie goes to a ballet school where people die and weird shit happens at night leading to her discovery that the school is run by a coven of witches who are housing the original owner of the building and head witch – the sick and decrepit Helena. Suzie kills her, destroying the coven and the building in the process. The end.

That is the only summary you’ll have me waste time on, the rest you can google to undermine your invalid points.

Period. I’m of the opinion that the original film does, in fact, have substance as well as style. Is the story minimalistic? Absolutely. But I feel like it is all for the sake of adding to that mysterious, nightmarish vibe. I’ve seen documentaries and read countless books and articles about what Argento envisioned for the film, and what he did to get it as perfect as possible, so I obviously have a much deeper understanding of that film than a casual viewer would. That said, I clicked with the film, it fit my taste. Not everyone is going to enjoy it as much as I do, and that’s fine. But I think the mythology that Argento created with the Mothers trilogy is terribly interesting, and deserves to be explored by other directors. I’m totally cool with a remake, as long as it stays true to the mythology. It could be about anything, set anywhere, in any period in time, as long as it has something to do with Mater Suspiriorum or her sisters.

Why are you thinking about things like remaking 3 movies that have already been made brilliantly twice?
Dont be gross

If somebody wants to do a remake,
let them remake something that was only okay before or hasn’t been remade before, that they can actually improve on

Not just rip-off, dumb down, swap the races and genders and throw cgi at it to cash in on somebody else’s hard work and reputation that created a classic

Theres PLENTY of sci-Fi movies from the 50’s drive in days that someone could get the rights to and start with as a jumping off point for improvement as a remake

Stop posting drivel and i’ll stop pointing it out for the drivel it is- simple.

All I do is represent my arguments which, unlike you, are not brainlessly based on popular view or an underdeveloped pair of testicles.

And to address your recent display of idiocy, referencing a writers previous review in order to undermine their current stance on a subject is totally valid.

If someone told you their fav albums were made up of releases by the Spice Girls, Britney Spears, and TLC, and then recommended an album unknown to you, you’d be keen?

I agree. I remember reading about what was going to happen in the film and thinking that it was going to be the most brutal, scary thing ever, only to have the direction, editing and cinematography end up dramatically undermining the horror.

The prequel to the remake, however, I seem to recall quite enjoying ( a few, relatively minor, issue aside).

And even then, if it’s done like the FRIDAY THE 13TH remake, where it could basically still exist in the original time line if you squint real hard, it doesn’t bother me too much…

I guess what I’m saying is – Eh, why not let someone else take a swing at SUSPIRIA? If it sucks, it sucks. When remakes suck they pretty much just go away, they never seem to replace or tarnish the originals (if anything, when a remake sucks, it seems to make everyone appreciate the original that much more).

I mean, a girl arriving at a ballet academy in Europe and finding out that it’s lead by witches is more than many other films have to offer. And the fact that “if you take away the score and the style, it’d be a dull film” applies to any film, doesn’t it 😉 Ok, so much for defending Suspiria…
I totally agree that remakes shouldn’t imitate the original. That won’t work. And I really appreciate directors going their own way (DGTOW so to speak xD sorry couldn’t help it). That’s why I like Rob Zombie’s Halloween films, for example.
For me, artistic freedom can’t be big enough when remaking or re-interpreting a film. Use another time period, use a female killer, use a diverse cast, not as token-coloured-cast but as an addition to a new approach to the film’s major themes, etc.
It’s possible to remake and reimagine a film or franchise and at the same time making huge changes.

This exactly. The point of a remake SHOULD be to take the idea and improve it. Take what people love, in this case the visuals/colours, the amazing score etc…and try to improve on that, the story and everything else. If not, just make a new movie with a different name. I’m extremely disappointed.

Remakes are made for one purpose: to make money! The viewer has no say in it whatsoever. It’s all about the whims of the movie executives. Unless you’ve got some good independents out there who can afford the rights to the franchises (very unlikely) you’ll have things rebooted and remade and sequalised and rehashed and done to death until every penny is wrung out of the public (and, yes, I’m looking at you, ‘Alien Covenant’ people!)
