Horror movie fans can’t stop flocking to this remake of an iconic ’70s movie

Remakes of iconic movies don’t always work the best. That’s even the case with horror movies because some of the worst movies ever get remakes like The Wicker Man, Poltergeist, and Omen. However, horror is also home to some of the greatest remakes in cinematic history.

John Carpenter Thing and David Cronenberg’s Fly Both are remakes that are rated higher than the original. One of the most exciting horror remakes to come out in recent years is 2018 Suspiria. The 1977 film of the same name by legendary horror director Dario Argento is a classic. Instead of simply making the same movie with the benefits of modern technology, director Luca Guadagnino decided to make a new twist to the story.

Gone are the flashy colors and stylish camera movements that Argento used as Guadagnino created a film with a very deep color palette that relied more on story and performance than style. Although the 1977 film will always have a strong fan base, fans on Reddit still blown away by the remake three years later, praising everything from the music to the depiction of witches.

Some commentators also praised the film.
