"Suspiria" 2018 movie poster, red in color, Tilda Swinton all in red poses at top, with Dakota Johnson in the foreground. Smaller images of dancing women surround her.

Suspiria

Recommended by: Jen Howell

Release Year: 2018

Runtime: 152 min

Genres: Drama, Horror

The Pitch: Look, I also love Dario Argento's original 1977 "Suspiria." But Luca Guadagnino takes Argento's nightmarish, mysterious concept and creates a film that's equally horrifying and stylish, but even more complex. Bonus, this cast of witches is nearly all women, including Tilda Swinton playing three different roles to perfection!

Ratings

Funny: Not Funny

Scary: Pretty Scary

Sadness: Pretty Sad

Pacing: Slow-Burn
