I can understand why this film has been so polarizing. With that said, know that I'm clinging to the side that thinks this movie is an absolute masterpiece. I'm a huge fan of Argento's legendary 1977 film, but aside from title, character names, and general plot, this film is entirely separate from that technicolor nightmare fairy tale. Guadagnino has created a dour, political, and animalistic horror epic that's closer in style to a Fassbinder film or Kubrick's The Shining than anything in the Giallo ouevre.
People will hate this movie. People will adore this movie. Either way, it was made to elicit strong reactions and I have no doubt that it will.
Edit: scrolling through these one star reviews it's become pretty clear that most of these people have not....seen.....the movie
