Suspiria - The best movie about witches you will ever find
A couple of months ago, I came across this trailer for a movie called Suspiria. It seemed pretty good, even though I'm not a big fan of horror movies, but Dakota Johnson and Chloe Grace Moretz were in it, so I had to watch it. At first, you don't know what the fuck is it about, but when you watch the movie, oh boy, it becomes one of the best horror movies you will ever find at the moment. Here's everything you need to know.
Basic Info:
Duration: 152 minutes (2 hours and 32 minutes)
Director: Luca Guadagnino
Production: Amazon Studios
Cast: Dakota Johnson; Tilda Swinton; Chloe Grace Moretz; Mia Goth
Available on Amazon Prime Video
Storyline
During the German Autumn of 1977, Susie Bannion, an American from a Mennonite family in Ohia, is admitted at the Markos Dance Academy in West Berlin. The academy is reeling from the disappearance of a student, Patricia Hingle, who vanished after telling her psychotherapist, Josef Klemperer, that the academy is controlled by a coven of witches. Journals left by Patricia detail the Three Mother, a trinity of witch goddesses who predate Christianity: Mater Tenebrarum, Mater Lachrymarum, and Mater Suspiriorum.
Personal Opinion:
I gotta be honest, like 20 minutes in, you don't understand a single thing about what's happening. You're like totally lost, but I think that's actually what it tries to do, because the protagonist, Susie, seems like completely lost in a completely different city, now knowing the language barely knowing the other girls at the academy. And that's exactly how you feel.
The storyline it's a little confusing. An academy that are full of witches. But none of them looks like witches, even more, they don't even act like the classic ones that appear in movies or tv shows, you know. They just look like normal people trying to live their lives. And in my opinion that's the part that makes this movie completely different to other ones. The normality, the simplicity of this alleged witches, how they can be around us, and we not knowing who they really are. That's kinda fucked up if you start to think about it.
It starts off with Patricia, the famous patricia, who dissapeared completely. She's at her psychiatrist, acting all crazy and delusional, and she kept talking about this entity who gave her everything she needed to dance, balance, talent and many more things. The psychiatrist it's a little (if not saying a lot) confused about her pacient's attitude, but he act like everything was normal.
And just like that, it all starts. this chaotic, mind twisting story starts. With Susie going to the Academy to learn ballet. Just an innocent girl acomplishing her dream of learning something she admired her whole life
The cast seemed a little off you know. I think Dakota was perfect for her role, and also Tilda Swinton, but Chloe Grace Moretz didn't looked like a typical ballerina, it was really weird seeing her like that. It's not that it wasn't a role for her, but it's just that i see her in more teenager roles. I think she still has to learn a little more about playing this kind of roles, which they need a lot of preparation. One thing I did like about the cast it's how they gave the opportunity to at least 15 new young actors to play, Mia Goth for example. Goth did such a good job, i loved her. And it's awesome how she grown over scene and scene, it was brilliant.
Something that I really liked too was how they used the typical production of horror movies in the 70s/80s, like the use of zoom, the lights, the sets. We saw this before in The Conjuring 2, but you could tell it was made in 2016, but this one seemed different, it felt like it was timeless you know. Timeless in the way that you can't tell when it was recorded. For example, you will watch an action movie filled with cgi and you will see that is made in 2019, but then you watch an action movie, the first superman for example, and you will notice as soon as it starts playing that's it was recorded last century. But with suspiria, it's totally different. They do give you a time and place, plus the Berlin Wall and all the things happening, you know it's based post-war, but it just doesn't look like it was recorded in the middle of 2018.
What i really didn't like it was that you have to wait until the end to know what the hell is going on with all those deaths, susie, patricia, and all the other girls. But it's worth the wait.
Wrapping it up, this movie it's one of the best (if not the best) horror movie of this decade. It has it all, and it's a completely must to any horror movie fan. It's so sad that it didn't have that much of publicity, but i'm telling you now, it's awesome.
100% recommended.
