Though he's best known for his sun-dappled romance of last year, Call Me By Your Name, the director hasn't held back when it comes to his first foray into horror: a remake of Dario Argento's 1977 classic Suspiria.
Though the central premise stays quite close to the original - as a hopeful young American dancer (Dakota Johnson), travels to Germany to learn ballet at a prestigious local school, only to slowly uncover a dark history of witchcraft and death - the teaser hints that things may take a very different direction.
That includes a far more gruesome, disturbing take on the horror elements; a key scene recently screened at Las Vegas' CinemaCon left viewers aghast, as Johnson's Susie Bannon is shown practising ballet, only for another woman in another room, seemingly controlled by her movements, to be slowly torn apart.
Reactions involved the words "very gruesome", "some of the most disturbing body horror", and "absolutely brutal". A must-see for horror fans, then.
Tilda Swinton, Chloë Grace Moretz, Mia Goth, and Jessica Harper - star of the original film - also feature. Suspiria will be released in the US by Amazon Studios on 2 November.
