Tomorrow we get the actual trailer for HALLOWEEN (2)018!!
It had better be better than that pile o' shite they trailed for Suspiria!
I remember when Natalie Portnom was involved, but she ended up ballerina-ing to Black Swan instead. Sounded good back then.
Two of my favourite films... OK, Halloween (2)018 is a direct sequel to Halloween (1)978, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow's trailer, esp as John Carpenter is involved¹
Suspiria, however, is a different kettle of guide dogs.
All bold glaring Disney/Technicolor, the maddening Goblin score, the dream-scapeyness from Daria Nicolodi, the child allusions, Dario's vision... the ART - Fuck, every frame of the film is pure Art. You can't remake it!
I recently got the 4k restoration and it is AWESOME! I saw Goblin perform a live score at Union Chapel with the movie on a huge screen (and almost copped off with an Asia Argento Lookalike).
But the trailer for the remake looks a right mess. Palette: Dull. Music: Thom Yorke & Dull. Standard horror tropes. Ridiculous shots with no bearing on the original. Looks like it's been converted to a standard modern dull day by-the-book generic horror.
I really hope that the final movie lives up to what Suspiria is... but I'm not holding out much hope.
I just hope the Halloween Trailer doesn't let me down.
¹ EVEN IF HIS "CLASSIC THEME" FOR HALLOWE'EN WAS A COMPLETE RIP-OFF OF THE THEME FROM ONE OF HIS (AND MY) FAVOURITE FILMS THAT HALLOWEEN WAS INSPIRED BY: DARIO ARGENTO'S PROFONDO ROSSO (THEME BY CLAUDIO SIMONETTI/GOBLIN).
