A wonderful masterpiece in its own right. It is a visceral as well as cerebral journey into the psyche of madness. I was highly sceptical of anyone attempting to re-create Suspiria, especially a Dario Argento film. As Argento is a maestro of horror, how could one do it? Well, the new Suspiria isn't a remake. I'll say it again because I was mad that someone was remaking Suspiria that was not Argento. The new film is not a remake at all. It really is a re-imagining of the Suspiria universe and Luca Guadagnino does a masterful job of setting the scene, macabre, and suspense. And he does it without ruining the original. If anything this film stands as a homage to the original Suspiria film and perfects stands on its own. Thom Yorke masterfully created the sound score and it will resonate with you and carry you through the film.
The new Suspiria moves slower than the original, but it delivers in that it focuses more heavily on the witches which I always appreciated and wanted to see in the original. The dance scenes being tied to the occult (I don't want to give spoilers), was phenomenal. I saw the new one in theater three times and just watched the original again before I gave a review. If you love art house films, dark films, original horror, occult themes, or eccentric art in general, and can enjoy a slow burn of a film that truly connects you with the characters and life in Germany in the 40's and 70's, you will love this film. *full disclosure. I'm not a fan of remakes at all, and this wasn't a remake. So give it a shot and dance with the witches*

This film is superb. If you're a fan of Miike and enjoy dark, suspenseful horror, this one does it. Out of all of the Masters of Horror films made in the series, this one is the most disturbing and it was banned from being shown on cable (which is more reason to see it). The cinematography is excellent and the story is phenomenal. This film will go down as a cult classic.
