The ‘Suspiria’ Remake Is An Hour Longer Than The Original By Chris Evangelista/July 31, 2018 7:30 am EST Dario Argento’s 1977 horror classic Suspiria runs for a lean, mean 98 minutes.

‘Atomic Blonde’ Clip: Charlize Theron Gets Lethal With A Shoe By Jack Giroux/June 29, 2017 2:00 pm EST Charlize Theron’s last action movie, The Fate of the Furious, was disappointing.

Theron’s next action movie, Atomic Blonde, doesn’t look like it’s letting any of her talents go unused. Based on early reviews, Agent Lorraine Broughton might be another killer character from Theron, who’s already given us one of the great action heroes of the century in Mad Max: Fury Road....
