This time around, Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name) will take on the film with Dakota Johnson (50 Shades of Grey) tackling the role of Susie. Other cast members include Tilda Swinton who plays the creepy ballet teacher, Madame Blanc, and Chloë Grace Moretz who plays another ballerina. The original Susie, Jessica Harper will make a cameo as well.

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke composed the score for this film. Suspiria is his first motion picture score composition.
