The Original Suzy Bannion Reveals Cameo in ‘Suspiria’ Remake

Published

It’s always fun when stars of the original movie cameo in the remake, isn’t it? It put a huge smile on my face when Ken Foree popped up in the Dawn of the Dead remake, and it doesn’t get much better than Chris Sarandon’s fun cameo in the Fright Night remake. Up next, original Suspiria star Jessica Harper, we can now 100% confirm, will be appearing in the upcoming remake!

Harper, who posted the below photo on her Facebook page over the weekend, noted that she’s in Berlin (or recently was, at least) filming a cameo for Luca Guadagnino’s new take on the classic Dario Argento horror film. IMDb reveals that Harper will be playing a character named Anke, rather than reprising the role of Suzy Bannion. After all, Dakota Johnson is our new Suzy.

Her name, however, is being spelled Susie this time around.

Chloe Grace-Moretz, Tilda Swinton and Mia Goth also star.

In Suspiria:

A young American ballet dancer travels to a prestigious dance academy in Europe, only to discover it is something far more sinister and supernatural. She becomes increasingly terrified after a series of gruesome murders ensue and she slowly unravels the dark history of the academy.

David Kajganich penned the script.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
