I read some spoiler-free low-rated reviews before watching the movie and now that I've seen it I want to reply to them.
1. No it didn't feel like 2.5h... I have a short attention span so I expected to be bored but the movie kept me on edge 90% of the time. 20 minutes in, I was ready to walk out because I was shaking.
2. The story was extremely intriguing... but know that I didn't watch the original. Some people said it was boring and poorly constructed... How??? Makes me think they got paid to trash on the movie.
I won't lie, I left the movie wanting to erase the last 30 minutes from my mind. Even texted some peeps to seriously avoid this movie unless they wanted to be traumatized. I honestly hated it, wanted nothing to do with it and felt bad for inviting my friend to the movies. However after hours of discussion with him we somehow became obsessed and wanted to know everything about the world in "Suspiria" and ended up actually loving the movie. It's weird how I really wanted it to end and promised to never rewatch it... and now I can't wait for the sequels!! I don't know how that happened. Probably wouldn't want to rewatch or even listen to that particular scene caus' I'm a a wuss but everything else = absolutely amazing acting, pacing, editing and story-telling...
You either end up loving the movie or too creeped up to love it... Either way it will deeply affect you somehow and is definitely worth the watch! You won't regret it (unless you're really weak with gore)
