10 Horror Movie Reveals NOBODY Was Ready For

10. Olga and Patricia Are Still Alive - Suspiria (2018)

Despite the sizeable task of remaking Dario Argento's giallo cult classic, Luca Guadagnino did Suspiria justice, bringing it to new audiences and elevating its horrors with contemporary technology and a larger budget. Unfortunately, this birthed a number of rather grim surprises along the way.

In the film, Dakota Johnson stars as Susia Bannon, an American ex-Mennonite who joins a prestigious dance academy in Berlin on pure talent alone. But she doesn’t realise her seemingly supernatural obsession with the place has to do with more than just dancing. After all, the Markos Dance Academy is run by a witches coven, who use their troupe of talented girls to feed their essence and keep them young - and they have a zero-tolerance policy for bad behaviour.

Early in the film Olga runs afoul of this when she attempts to leave the academy, becoming trapped by magic in a room where Susie’s dance elsewhere in the academy twists and bends her, breaking her bones and leaving her pretzeled, paralysed and on the edge of death. It would seem fair enough, then, for us to assume her demise after the witches carry her away on hooks.

Alas, that is wishy thinking. In the third act, Sara (Mia Goth) discovers Olga and missing student Patricia (Chloe Grace Moretz) in a secret chamber, kept alive through magic, left withered and suffering for who only knows how many weeks and months. 

No wonder their only wish is to die.
