Over the last few years we’ve seen lots of reboots, revisions and just outright remakes of films of all different genres and that means the Horror stuff is fair game for whatever director can get their hands on for a certain sum of money. Don’t get me wrong as sometimes a more modern take on an already existing film is interesting but many are long viewed as classics that bear no such need. One such film I’ve often heard as being a classic for the medium is “Suspiria” and yes, it now has a remake of its own coming out in December. Let’s take a look at the full trailer that was revealed along with some premise and casting. Here we go.
The Premise: A darkness swirls at the center of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist. Some will succumb to the nightmare. Others will finally wake up. (c/o IMDB)

PiercingMetal Thoughts: My interest in the Horror genre of films mostly is relegated to the classic Universal Monsters and the assorted slasher variety of Jason, Michael Myers and Freddie K. and this found me never seeing the original film that bore this title. That means I can’t really speak much on it but I will say that the trailer does look creepy and sinister. Perhaps I will see if any of my streaming services are airing the original version so I can watch it and then debate on seeing the remake in the theatrical run. This all depends on if time allows as I have a very heavy dance card coming up for sure. What about you readers? Did you enjoy this trailer and will you see the new film or are you dead set against it and find the remake an absolute outrage? Chime in down below because we love hearing your side of the story on this stuff. See you next time.
