Nice I've got the Hammer edition any idea how much this one is ?

It's 20 notes, just like the Hammer one.

Looks like the new 'Suspiria' is going to get a pasting!

"Saw the new Suspiria today. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Arthouse rubbish and ridiculously overlong. My review in the next Dark Side will not be a favourable one. The photography is murky, the settings glum, and while the music is good it is not Goblin, more like Keith Emerson’s Inferno score, which I like a lot anyway."

There's a half page on it in the latest Dark Side (Halloween cover) where Bryce waxes lyrically about it.

Not the impression he gives on the DS FB page:

"Allan Bryce - The problem I have with films like this is they are pretentious and just not entertaining. Oddly enough I was idly thinking of The Island of Terror scene where Edward Judd and Peter Cushing spend two minutes putting on radiation suits and wishing that this film had some of the urgency of that scene. It has no narrative impetus whatsoever. It is in six acts with an epilogue and boy was I happy when it moved on to the final chapter. I have watched Suspiria a dozen times but this will be my only viewing of this one."

In the issue he's clearly bigging something up that he hasn't yet seen.

That's the sort of nonsense even we try to avoid on here never mind the editor of a magazine.

I'm surprised he's only seen the original a dozen times. I'd have expected more. A lot more.

..............

All i've got from the trailer and any info so far is that it looks like shit (colour wise) has a score from a maudlin shoegazer and is two and a half hours long - that's about an hour too long in my eyes.

I've watched the trailer .... and I think that watching Black Swan again seems like more of an option tbh

I remember when I first started reading film magazines all those years ago & all they did was talk up films before release (to get interviews & on set "exclusives") then when they came out it was a big disappointment all round! Lol! Suspiria remake does look crap though, like the pointless Martyrs remake, that hit the cex pile as soon as it finished!
