First Look at Upcoming Suspiria Remake's Possession Scene

The clip itself features an exchange between Madame Blanc (expertly played by Tilda Swinton) and Susie Bannion (Dakota Johnson). Blanc asks Susie to perform an improvisational dance number. As Susie complies, it’s clear to the viewer that something dark and mysterious is actually controlling and directing her movements from underneath the floor. The effect is haunting and if this scene is anything to go by, the rest of Suspiria is sure to be a fantastic watch.

For those unfamiliar with the premise of the original Suspiria, it’s the story of a world-famous dance academy that’s unlike any other. A mysterious dark force lurks within its walls, waiting to possess those that come there to live, work, and learn. Those touched by the force include the art director of the troupe (Swinton), a talented dancer with a bright future ahead of her (Johnson), and a psychotherapist struggling with intense grief (Lutz Ebersdorf). Will the evil within Markos Dance Academy consume their very souls or will they break free before it’s too late?

Suspiria is directed by Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name) and features a haunting original musical score by Thom Yorke of Radiohead. In addition to Swinton (Vanilla Sky, Doctor Strange) and Johnson (Black Mass, Fifty Shades Freed), the cast list includes Chloe Grace-Moretz ( Let Me In), Mia Goth (Nymphomaniac), Sylvie Testud, Angela Winkler, and others. Catch Suspiria in select Los Angeles or New York theaters October 26, 2018 and nationwide November 2, 2018.
