After years of sputtering along in the very early stages of development, the remake of Dario Argento's 1977 Italian classic Suspiria is moving ahead at a fast and furious pace. With filming set to begin in September, the David Gordon Green-directed movie has found its star, Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan), who will play Suzy, an American college student attending a prestigious European university who discovers that the school hides a deadly secret. (It's not clear yet if the remake will retain the original ballet theme.) Read More...

I know, I know: another week, another "found footage" horror movie. Well, 388 Arletta Avenue has something a little different to offer: the entire film is from the point of view of a stalker's camera, making for an eerie, invasive experience. Read about it in my review of 388 Arletta Avenue.

It seems you can't go a year without a new demonic possession/exorcism movie hitting the big screen, and in the case of The Possession (releasing August 31), it will actually be the second major release of its kind in 2012 -- following the surprise hit The Devil Inside. The Possession revolves around estranged parents (played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick) who buy an antique box for their daughter, only to find that it contains an entity from Jewish folklore (a "dibbuk") that slowly takes control of her. The first trailer was just released, and while it doesn't look like it breaks any new ground in the possession sub-genre, it looks sufficiently creepy and visually appealing -- thanks to the capable hands of veteran Danish director Ole Bornedal (Nightwatch, The Substitute). What do you think?
