Luca Guadagnino, der stod bag indiehittet ’Call Me By Your Name’, er for tiden i gang med at færdiggøre sin genfortolkning af Dario Agentos horrorfilm ’Suspiria’ fra 1977.
Sidste uge fortalte filmens hovedrolleindehaver, Dakota Johnson, at optagelserne tog så hårdt på hende, at hun »blev nødt til at gå i terapi«. Den færdige film kunne også godt gå hen og blive en rædselsvækkende oplevelse.
Da et klip fra den nye ’Suspiria’ blev vist til dette års CinemaCon, affødte det nemlig vilde reaktioner på Twitter. Her skrev Colliders chefredaktør, Steven Weintraub, for eksempel, at klippet var »én af de mest fucked up ting, jeg nogensinde har set på CinemaCon. Folk ved mit bord vendte sig væk fra lærredet. Alt, jeg kan sige, er, at den er mere end ekstrem og ulækker, og jeg bliver nødt til at se mere«.
Filmen følger den unge ballerina Susie Bannion, spillet af Dakota Johnson, som går i lære på en prestigefuld tysk danseskole. Hun finder dog hurtigt ud af, at skolen gemmer på mørke hemmeligheder, som er svære at slippe væk fra.
I klippet, som blev vist på CinemaCon, danser Bannion for skolens lærerinder, som spilles af Tilda Swinton. På mystisk, og ganske ubehagelig, vis, styrer danserindens bevægelser en anden elevs bevægelser i et andet rum. Mens Bannion udfolder sine danseevner, bøjer den anden kvindes krop sig på unaturlige måder, indtil hendes knogler er brækkede, og hun er »reduceret til en rystende knude på gulvet«, som Indiewires journalist beskrev det.
’Suspiria’ distribueres af Amazon, som regner med en amerikansk premire til efteråret. Se Twitter-reaktionerne nedenfor.
Amazon just world premiered a scene from Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Suspiria’ remake and it’s one of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen at #CinemaCon. People at my table turned away from the screen. All I can say is it’s beyond extreme and gross and I need to see more.

Amazon teasing incredibly violent and bloody scene from Luca Guadagnino’s #Suspiria at #CinemaCon. Close to upchucking the quinoa salad I just ate. Perfect for lunchtime presentation!

Saw a disturbing clip from the Suspiria remake. A girl trapped in a mirrored room is literally broken in connection with Dakota Johnson’s dance scene taking place in another location. Each of her movements twist this poor girl until she’s just a drooling ball of jumbled limbs.

Things @russfischer and I said out loud to no one in particular while watching that scene from SUSPIRIA:
“Whaaat”
“Jesus Christ”
“Holy fuck”
“Wow”— Scott Wampler™ (@ScottWamplerBMD) 26. april 2018
First clip from Suspiria invokes a dancer being thrown around like a rag doll telekinetically in a mirrored rehearsal space, bones breaking, becoming a contorted mess. Very gruesome and hard to watch. This film will make most people feel uneasy. #CinemaCon

Ummm I am traumatized after seeing a scene from “Suspiria” in which Dakota Johnson controls the body of another woman as she dances. The woman’s body literally cracks in half. She is like, torn apart. Spitting, urinating, bleeding. It’s… A lot. #CinemaCon

Daaaamn! Props to Amazon for playing the sickest, gnarliest, most intense clip from #Suspiria to 3,000 people at this lunch. It features a girl (Dakota Johnson) dancing while another girl is being thrown around, body contorted in nasty ways. Wild & bold#CinemaCon

Amazon just showed the first bit of footage from their SUSPIRIA remake. It was absolutely brutal – this movie is going to mess people up. I cannot wait for the final film.

They are showing the #Suspiria clip now. I had to look away but it wasn’t enough. The sound effects alone will haunt me for the rest of my life. #CinemaCon

Luca Guadagnino’s #Suspiria is fucking terrifying, but I couldn’t look away. Dakota Johnson = WHOA. You’ve never seen a movie like this. #CinemaCon
