'Suspiria': Top 5 reasons why Luca Guadagnino's remake of Dario Argento's 1977 horror classic will not be the same

Guadagnino is picking up Argento's classic to bend it every way in order to bring the story of the Three Mothers closer to the modern audience.

It is not always necessary that a remake has to be something bad. When the first teaser of 'Suspiria' was released by Amazon Studios, many people were of the opinion that Luca Guadagnino has stepped into his own trap by trying to imitate the 1977 classic which was directed by the maestro, Dario Argento. However, keeping all opinions aside it can be said that the new trailer of Guadagnino's 'Suspiria' is just as spooky as Argento's original work.

While it can almost be considered that trying to remake something which has been the landmark in filmmaking is almost like digging your own grave, it can also be regarded that a remake is often a homage. As Guadagnino has himself said that 'Suspiria' (2018) is more of a homage to the original masterpiece than just another remake, the trailer proves the fact that it is going to be a whole different story altogether. The original 'Suspiria' star, Jessica Harper who had played the role of the protagonist, Suzy, too mentioned that Guadagnino's remake is actually a perfect one."
