Director Luca Guadagnino’s remake of Dario Argento’s Suspiria is one of the absolute must-see horror movies out there. But today, Guadagnino hints a follow-up likely won’t happen … so he revealed some new details about Suspiria: Part II.
Guadagnino tells The Film Stage: “I’ll tell you something, Suspiria was originally titled ‘Suspiria: Part 1’ in the script and in the slate. That’s true. The movie made absolutely nothing. It was a disaster at the box office. I know that people are liking it more and more now. I loved making that movie. It’s very dear to me. But writer David Kajganich and I had really conceived it as the first half of a bigger story…With Suspiria, I can tell you that in part two the storyline was layered in five different time zones and spaces. One of these was Helena Markos being a charlatan woman in the year 1200 in Scotland and how she got the secret of longevity.“
Here’s hoping we see this sequel one day.
Guadagnino’s remake centered on a 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.
The film sports a 65% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: Suspiria attacks heady themes with garish vigor, offering a viewing experience that’s daringly confrontational – and definitely not for everyone.
