In 1977 Italian director Dario Argento directed a supernatural psychological horror film which became a cult classic. Dario Argento is always been labeled as a horror film director. He has inspired some many filmmakers including the award-winning Italian director Luca Guadagnino.

Suspiria directed by Guadagnino is a different take on Argento's version.
Susanna "Susie" Bannion (Dakota Johnson) an aspiring American ballerina arrives at Berlin in 1977 for an audition at the Tanz Dance Academy. Susie is able to get accepted quickly without no formal training, later she auditioned with Madame Blanc (Tilda Swinton) who is the artistic director and choreographer of the Tanz Dance Academy.

Susie's arrival comes at the same time when Patricia, a student disappears mysteriously, creating a sense of despair in some of the students and for the audience as well.

Another student, Olga accuses the matrons of the Academy for Patricia disappearance. While trying to escape, Olga gets trapped in one room without the possibility to leave. At this point, we see that there is a supernatural connection between Susie and where the Academy lives. Olga gets possed by Susie's movement in parallel scenes until Olga's body is broken by the rigorous physical movements from Susie.

The film advance into a hypnotic trip where the spiring ballerinas are practicing for the final show, Guadagnino creates a supernatural spectacle borderline into bizarre. To me, it felt like watching a European version of Black Swan where the ballerina is the hero but at the same time the enemy. Tom Yorke provided a powerful soundtrack and Tilda Swinton bring her talents to the test, plating two opposite characters (NO SPOILER HERE)
