The premise

A darkness swirls at the center of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist. Some will succumb to the nightmare. Others will finally wake up.

Horror Vault's take

Set against the fractured backdrop of 1970s divided Berlin, a prestigious and secretive dance company becomes the stage for something far older and more sinister than choreography. An ambitious American dancer rises swiftly through the company's ranks, while a haunted psychotherapist quietly investigates a former student's disturbing disappearance. Director Luca Guadagnino reimagines the Dario Argento classic as a slow-burn descent into flesh, guilt, and occult power. The film weaves dance, history, and ritual into a disquieting tapestry that builds toward a genuinely overwhelming finale.
