Lack of originality (0 more)

The story didn't feel very original, I actually thought it was a modern day remake of the original Die Hard with Dwayne Johnson playing John Mclane with a prostetic leg, Every other character seems 1 dimensional and forgettable including the main antagonist, an ok watch if you have a few hours to spare and turn you're brain off at the door

Exciting Thriller

This is a very cool, very good thriller. It's a bit like a modern day remake of Rear Window but with plenty of comic moments. It is also a bit like The 'Burbs mixed with The girl next door. Overall a very enjoyable thriller and the pace really picks up towards the end with a few good "red herrings" along the way!

Suspiria's strictly crone dancing may leave you bewitched, bothered and a little bewildered. (2018) #Review

It takes nerve and vision to remake something as cinematically revered as “Suspiria” so there’s no doubting director Luca Guadagnino’s ambition and confidence. In reimagining the sacred, Guadagnino manages to take the bones of the original and reshape them into something disturbingly new and yet primally familiar...

Tediously slow

I haven't seen the original so can't compare them. Seeing it got a remake I assumed the story was good.
It wasn't at all, in this version anyway. It's slow and rather boring. Not helped by the editing or pacing. Going from nothing much happening to the women throwing themselves at him all of a sudden. It lost all sense and any believability very quickly.

Book Favorite

"Warning: this is one of the most upsetting books I’ve ever read, but it’s a great one. Set in South Africa, a nation struggling to remake itself in the wake of Apartheid, it tracks a professor’s downfall as he suffers a career-ending scandal followed by a horrific episode in the life of his daughter. It’s a Booker-winning book by a Nobel-winning novelist."

Poor live action remake

Honestly one of the worst live action films Disney probably tied with Aladdin.

At no point was I invested or care what happened to any of the characters. It felt disjointed and the fight scenes and wire work were laughable.

Really glad I saw this as part of Disney plus package and didn't pay £14.99 for it.
