Suspiria (2018)

Directed by Luca Guadagnino ( I am Love,A Bigger Splash)

Starring: Dakota Johnson as Susanna "Susie" Bannion. Tilda Swinton as Madame Blanc / Mother Helena Markos / Dr. Josef Klemperer (as Lutz Ebersdorf) Mia Goth as Sara Simms. Angela Winkler as Miss Tanner. Ingrid Caven as Miss Vendegast. Elena Fokina as Olga Ivanova. Sylvie Testud as Miss Griffith.

When I first heard about the new Suspiria remake I was definitely hesitant about checking it out. I will admit I am not a huge Dario Argento fan but I still enjoyed the original film. So with that being said not only did the new version of Suspiria hold up as a remake but I think it’s just as good as the original if not better in my opinion. The darkness that this films manifests is deep and pitch black. I enjoyed the bright reds of the original but I prefer the darker tone visually of the remake. This is a beautifully shot film from start to finish, it’s the kind of Beauty that would make the devil blush. The acting and dancing is top notch and really carries the film into another realm. When it comes to the gore and effects you definitely won’t be disappointed. There is a death scene in this film that i assure you will twist your mind into a bloody pretzel. In my opinion this is a perfect horror film that surpasses the original. So if you are looking for something dark and twisted that will take your mind for a spin into the hellish realms of blood and fire then this film is for you. I give the new Suspiria a 10/10
