    lol I love this movie, both the original and remake are major comfort films for me

    turning a stylish neon-soaked exploitation flick into a slow burn character-driven horror with complex themes was such a risk that isn’t going to pay off for everyone but it did for me. it makes that bonkers-ass ending so much more impactful. the chemistry between Dakota Johnson and Tilda Swinton is unreal. my only complaint is the lack of closure for the character of Madame Blanc, her fate was left open-ended for a potential sequel that never happened and wasn’t necessary

    also there is dialogue explicitly criticizing West Germany for its treatment of women and for having nazis in power

      The premise of a witch coven running a dance camp is definitely intriguing. But I don’t know. Somehow the movie felt on the nose and super vague at the same time. In that way, it reminds me a little of Parasite, but some reason I like that movie more.

    God the remake sucks so fucking bad especially the scene where someone is like contorting and pissing themselves I was just exasperated
