Suspiria (2018)
Masterfully Dark, cold, and haunting!
A wonderful masterpiece in its own right. 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. Thom Yorke masterfully created the sound score and it will resonate with you and carry 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. 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, 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*

Masters of Horror: Imprint (2006)
Excellent Miike Film - Instant Cult Classic
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.
The Evil Within 2 (2017)
Better Than RE7
If you're a fan of survival horror and a die hard Resident Evil fan, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with Evil Within 2. I wasn't too keen on the first one, but this one really is simply amazing. It reminds me a lot of old school RE (Code Veronica) because of the setting and scenery, it's an eerie game, but it comes with an open world feeling to it that the classic RE's could never do because of the technology at the time. Like I said in the title to this review, and I hate to say it, this could have been RE 7 because, simply put, it's better and you actually KILL zombies! The director of this title is The Godfather of RE, and he doesn't disappoint with this installment. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. I had hours of fun with it, and I loved the storyline and how it unfolded.
