* Lutz Ebersdorf. His portrayal of Dr. Klemperer seems interesting and sympathetic especially for some who interpret the movie as [[UnfortunateImplications a demonization of collective feminine power]]. But when you look at him closely, something...seems...[[UncannyValley quite]]...[[ParanoiaFuel off]]. And then you realize it's actually Creator/TildaSwinton.

* Olga's CruelAndUnusualDeath is just about this movie's SignatureScene. Each SickeningCrunch alone is enough for some to walk out of screenings. WordOfGod asserts that the CGI in this sequence is close to ''zero''.
** Worse still, [[AndIMustScream Olga isn't quite dead.]] A later scene shows her to be horridly twisted, but still breathing. Worse yet the witches carry her away with silver hooks.
* Sara getting caught just before ''Volk'', and then appearing midway through the dance ''with that fracture not even hampering her performance.'' You will '''NEVER''' think of the phrase "break a leg" the same way again.

Creator/DarioArgento's [[Film/{{Suspiria}} original]] may be a nightmarish trip to behold, but it's tame compared to Creator/LucaGuadagnino's lengthier, fleshier reimagining.

Oh, Mother.
