Dario Argento’s 1977 horror classic Suspiria gets an arthouse remake, courtesy of Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino. Thankfully, fans of the original can breathe a sigh of relief, as the remake never attempts to replicate the sensory experience of Argento’s original – instead, it takes the basic ingredients of the story and stirs up an intoxicating witches’ brew of its own.
Taking place in 1977 (the year the original film came out), the film introduces itself as “Six acts and an epilogue, set in divided Berlin”. Dakota Johnson plays Susie Bannion, a talented American dancer from a deeply religious Ohio family, who arrives in the city with the hopes of joining the Markos Tanzgruppe, a prestigious...

Young American dancer Susie Bannion arrives in 1970s Berlin to audition for the world-renowned Helena Markos Dance Co. When she vaults to the role of lead dancer, the woman she replaces breaks down and accuses the company’s female directors of witchcraft. Meanwhile, an inquisitive psychotherapist and a member of the troupe uncover dark and sinister secrets as they probe the depths of the studio’s hidden underground chambers.
To even dare to explain Luca Guadagnino’s remake of Suspiria would be a tragedy in itself, not because it would necessarily reduce the content or spoil your experience, but for anyone to actually have a fully compelling and articulated retort to the artistic impression on screen would be lying through their front teeth.

Warning: this post contains All the biggest spoilers for Suspiria.
Now that you've witnessed the madness that is Suspiria, a few things are likely to be true. You're probably wondering whether Tilda Swinton plays that old man (she does), whether or not you'll be able to sleep tonight (you won't), and what the hell even happened in those final wild 30 minutes (so much). Yes, it's quite obvious that the stunning reimagining pulls off a pretty epic twist - it's quite different from the original ending - but this version also manages to deepen the film's mythology and bring the entire narrative full circle. If you're still scratching your head, worry not. I'm going to break down all the most important takeaways.
As a quick overview of the plot, we follow the confident Susie Bannion (Dakota Johnson) as she rapidly rises through the ranks at a Berlin dance academy. The academy...

This article contains Major Suspiria spoilers. Be warned.
That escalated quickly. One moment, the matrons of the Markos Dance Academy are celebrating the talent of their new star, Susie Bannion, and the next their attempted ritualistic sacrifice backfires in a visual orgy of blood and cacophonic disaster. When the smoke finally lifts, and the actual gore and dancing stops, the only thing that’s clear is Susie Bannion is the actual Mother Suspiriom reincarnated. And the dance academy is hers.
But what is this about, and how did it come about? In essence, the ending seems to act on several levels: the metaphysical; the intersectional; and the vaguely historical. On the first count, the ending, like much else in Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria remake, is a major departure from how...

Polarizing is too tame a word to describe reactions to Luca Guadagnino’s radical rethinking of Suspiria. Either you’ll dig in or bolt for the exit — no in between. For starters, Dario Argento’s 1977 landmark of horror didn’t need a remake. The original, about an exclusively female dance academy run by witches, is still there in all its bracing, bloody, neon glory for you to stream and get drunk on. It’s clear that the movie had its way with Guadagnino, so much so that the director of Call Me By Your Name,...

Two weeks in a row of classic horror films being remade, or at least a franchise being looked at with fresh eyes? We must be in late October. Hot on the heels of Halloween managing to give the Michael Myers series a worthwhile return from the indie mind of David Gordon Green, we now have Dario Argento’s classic Suspiria getting the remake treatment. Opening this week, this very unusual choice by filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, coming as the follow up to his Academy Award winning Call Me By Your Name, will likely confound you. Some open minded viewers may find its obtuseness infatuating. Me? I found it underwhelming and often pretentious. Folks, this is one of the year’s bigger disappointments. A remake of Argento’s classic, this flick follows the same broad strokes, but does diverge in a number of places. We’ll just focus on the plot of this new one here.

It’s been a while since a horror movie’s remake achieved the levels of anticipation like the kind Luca Guadagnino’s forthcoming remake of Suspiria has wracked up this last year. Since its official announcement two years ago, many questions and equal the trepidation about what the Call Me by Your Name director could possibly bring to the Dario Argento classic have been raised, from the general “Why does it need to be remade” all remakes are understandably haunted by and theories about what techniques and throwbacks would be invoked to replicate the original’s iconic visuals and Goblin soundtrack. When the first teaser debuted earlier this summer, many’s fears were quelled and replaced with a new possibility: not only could the film actually be good, it now had the potential to be equal to its inspiration, perhaps even… surpass it.

Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria is a wild ride.
“It’s amazing when a studio backs a movie as bold and auteured as Suspiria,” someone close to the Amazon and K Period Media-backed chiller admits. “It’s like ‘woah’, even as you’re watching it. There’s nothing quite like it.”
Call Me By Your Name director Guadagnino’s $20M re-imagining of Dario Argento’s 1977 cult classic stars Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, Mia Goth, Lutz Ebersdorf (perhaps), Jessica Harper (of the original) and Chloe Grace Moretz. Johnson leads cast as the American newcomer to the prestigious Tanz school who comes to realize it is a front for something very disturbing. The pic debuts at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday. But that’s only a slice of this movie’s story.
