Nope. Not even close.

Who TF said this was better than Suspiria? And why even draw a connection? Way different movies.

Juno did. And by Juno I mean screenwriter Diablo Cody trying to prove how cool she is by name dropping cult horror.

Oh, that's right. I haven't seen Juno in almost eight years now, totally forgot

Did you hear Suspiria's getting remade?

I recall it purportedly happening several years ago, and then they cancelled the project. Is it back in the works?

reply

Yeah but with a different director this time around. First time it was the dude who did Pineapple Express, which sounded awful. But now they got an actual Italian guy directing it, and mostly Italians producing it instead of Hollywood. So I dunno. I thought the Maniac remake was good, and that was produced by the French, so as long as it's not a Hollywood production, who know? Could be good.

I just looked at the IMDb page, and if Tilda Swinton is actually part of it, that does lend it some credibility. I still have to read more on it because I had no clue this was still happening—I've always felt like a remake of Suspiria could work if they carried it out right, but they could also completely butcher it. Suspiria is a visual masterpiece, but it's not a perfect film.

reply

Well the director of the remake is known for lavish visuals and combining visuals with sound really well. And Tilda had worked with this director a number of times before, so I'm sure she's definitely going to be part of the project.

My thoughts exactly

You're right. It's definitely not better. This is the only Herschell Gordon Lewis movie I've seen so far that I didn't care for at all. Two Thousand Maniacs was great. Blood Feast and Color Me Blood Red were okay, but Wizard of Gore was awful.
