Even though Argento expressed concerns, Guadagnino’s *Suspiria* feels like an atmospheric revisiting of the story. I think his reservations are perhaps overly serious, as it seems almost inevitable that a creator would find fault with how their work is reworked when dealing with established classics.

Director Luca Guadagnino shifted from the LGBTQ+ drama adaptation "Call Me By Your Name" to create an avant-garde psychological study based on Dario Argento's famed 1977 film “Suspir…
