I'v still not seen the remake, it does seem to be very love/hate in its reactions, I'm guessing perhaps depending a lot on expectation?
The original to me almost feels like an extended music video to the Goblin soundtrack(which was I believe recorded first with Argento having a strong influence), playing up horror clichés and focusing mostly on atmosphere to match the music. I'v heard how good the US UHD release of it is, I'v still got ther old Cine-Excess version which I honestly felt looked very good but it seems the Synapse UHD is even better, it does seem like a film very well suited for HDR and more extreme colours.
Oh, it's amazing, bro. It's crystal clear & the colors pop off the screen. If every 4K remastering looked like this it would be incredible. People that saw it in the theater say that it looks even better now than it did back then. I can't vouch for that though because, for one, I was just a kid back in 1977 so my memories are a wee bit indistinct & two, I saw it at my local drive-in which notoriously underlit their movies.
