Suspiria (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): Self-indulgent but interesting anyway
Luca Guadagnino’s latest film “Suspiria”, which is the remake of Dario Argento’s classic horror film of the same name, boldly attempts to present its own style and substance. Although its attempt is not wholly successful, it is still an interesting … Continue reading
