Suspiria
When we heard Dario Argento’s unmatchable horror Suspiria was getting a remake we were, well, horrified. But we’re willing to eat our words, as Call Me By Your Name’s Luca Guadagnino’s 2018 reboot – starring Tilda Swinton, Dakota Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz and Mia Goth – is exceptional. 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.
