10 Biggest WTF Moments In Suspiria
10. Six Acts And An Epilogue
Any general audience members who somehow mistakenly wandered into a showing of Luca Guadagnino's film are warned right off the bat exactly what kind of film they are getting themselves into.
Following the opening hand-drawn Amazon Studios logo, the film immediately cuts to a title card. Except, instead of simply reading 'Suspiria', the tile is missing entirely as audiences are welcomed to "Six Acts and an Epilogue in a Divided Berlin". All the while, Thom Yorke's soundtrack creeps up with its jarring atonal accents and immediately grabs the audience by the throat.
To call this a bold way to open the film is a bit of an understatement. It immediately sets the tone for the film and makes it clear that this 152 minutes-long film is not just going to be your typical light-weight supernatural horror film ala what The Conjuring Universe films have been churning out as-of-late.
Suspiria 2018 is an entirely different beast and this opening title card makes that painfully clear.
