It looks like the long-mooted Susperia remake is actually rolling now. Of course, fans are apoplectic about it. Practically swallowing their tongues with seizures at the very idea of someone desecrating a masterpiece. And I do feel that Susperia is a masterpiece.
But I'll go against the grain, as usual. I think it could turn out to be an interesting project. It's not like Joe Multiplex is going to ever watch Susperia. He wouldn't make it past the opening credits.
Of course it could go either way, but it's heartening that a talented guy like David Gordon Green is directing it. Green has done some great films, such as the amazing Snow Angels and All the Real Girls. Green has also done some iffy comedies, like Pineapple Express and The Sitter. And he has done at least one abomination: Your Highness.
Let's just hope he leaves his obnoxious college buddy, Danny McBride, on the sidelines for Susperia.
The last time I saw fans so pissed off about a remake was with Dawn of the Dead. Not everyone agrees, obviously, but I thought that one turned out pretty good. Maybe Susperia will too. I'll judge it after seeing it.
