Amazon Studios has released the first images from the upcomingSuspiriaremake, also announcing that the highly anticipated horror film will hit theaters on November 2nd. FilmmakerDario Argentofirst tackledSuspiriain 1977, unveiling a colorful and disturbing horror classic, and Hollywood has been trying to crack a new take onSuspiriafor a few years now.Luca Guadagnino, the filmmaker behindA Bigger Splashand last year’s Oscar-winning coming-of-age romanceCall Me by Your Name, is at the helm of this new iteration, withDakota Johnsonfilling the lead role of a young American new to the troupe of a world-renowned dance company where a bloody nightmare ensues.
The first footage from this newSuspiriawas released at CinemaCon last month, and those in the audience described a near vomit-inducing scene in which a character’s limbs were bent, reshaped, and broken in crazy entanglements. Guadagnino is a master of atmosphere and aesthetic, so I really can’t wait to see the filmmaker’s talents put to use in the horror genre, crafting a palpable nightmare of sorts—especially with his gloriousCall Me by Your NamecinematographerSayombhu Mukdeeprombehind the camera.
