    Oh my god, I am so bad with logging films. Most of the time, I either forget to log it, or just simply forget when i watched it.

    Anyways, Suspiria was pretty cool. Loved the technical aspects, the cinematography in particular was immaculate. The music is also pretty great as well. The film is extremely effective in it's scares however there were some parts of the film that weren't as effective as others. I will say i…
