After the success of Call Me By Your Name, Italian director Luca Guadagnino takes on the horror genre in his remake of the Dario Argento’s cult classic Suspiria starring Chloë Grace Moretz, Dakota Johnson and Tilda Swinton.

Because of this, naturally, Phil and Raj were super excited to see this film. Our overall impressions were a bit mixed, but that’s not saying it’s a bad film at all. Suspiria isn’t for the faint-hearted, nor does it push the horror genre envelope further along. Rather, it’s a wickedly mind-jolt of a tale set in the world of dance in war-torn Berlin.

My best advice in seeing this film – prepare to be mind-fucked.

Let’s just hope that Luca Guadagnino doesn’t get creatively panned on this one so that it halts the rumoured green light on the Call Me By Your Name sequel.
