The ‘Possession’ Remake That Nobody Asked for Now Has a Release Date
Remember when Luca Guadagnino dared to attempt a remake of Dario Argento’s Suspiria a few years back? The end result had some bravado moments—Tilda Swinton in multiple roles crossed with intense body horror is never a bad thing—but it never really justified its existence. There’s no reason to offer a do-over of Suspiria when a person could very easily watch Suspiria, a stone-cold masterpiece, instead.

There’s no reason to offer a do-over of Suspiria when a person could very easily watch Suspiria, a stone-cold masterpiece, instead. We revisit this uncomfortable moment in cinematic history because those same feelings are rising with the Possession remake, which we’ve already wailed about on this very website.
